Sterling silver is the ideal material for Judaica and fine objects. It has intrinsic value, exceptional durability, timeless beauty, and the weight and presence that convey quality. It can be worked into intricate details, it develops a warm patina with age and use, and it connects to centuries of Jewish silversmithing tradition. It's a material worthy of the sacred purposes our pieces serve.

Our collection includes sterling silver Hanukkah menorahs (chanukiot), Shabbat candlesticks, Kiddush cups and wine fountains, mezuzah cases, luxury cutlery and silverware, vintage ornaments and antique pieces, and custom ceremonial pieces for weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and special occasions. Browse our menorah collection and mezuzah collection.

Our Judaica pieces are primarily crafted from sterling silver (925 silver), which ensures the highest quality, durability, and beauty. We never compromise on materials. For mezuzahs, we also work with Jerusalem stone, wood, and other unique materials. For silverware and cutlery, we offer both sterling silver pieces and high-quality Italian silver-plated options. Some pieces may incorporate complementary elements such as semi-precious stones like malachite.

After washing with water, it is highly recommended to dry completely with a cotton cloth or drying towel
Give them a gentle wipe with a cotton cloth or towel once a month to remove any unseen dust. If they are stored in a closed cabinet, do this every three months
If your silverware has already tarnished, we recommend using WEIMAN damp cloths for cleaning
