Calisher Glass Mezuzah Giveaway

ca

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve loved to collect Judaica. Over the years, I’ve slowly built up a nice collection, avoiding the cookie cutter pieces, and seeking out original designs. Some I love too much to part with and others I buy intentionally to pass along.

In my experience, a Mezuzah is always a great choice. (For those who may not be familiar with them, a Mezuzah is a parchment prayer scroll covered by a case that’s affixed to the doorpost of every Jewish home.) Since they’re always on display, they’re not only practical, but can also be enjoyed daily.

While every Judaica company sells Mezuzot, they’re not all the same. I’ve seen everything from basic to intricate, but the ones created by Calisher Glass are truly phenomenal!

This art glass studio produces exquisite pieces that are comprised of Dichroic glass (a special type of glass that displays two different colors by undergoing a color change in certain lighting conditions). Though some may look similar, no two pieces of custom glasswork are ever the same. Every design is an original and handmade by the artist who’s been perfecting her craft for 20 years. 

Calisher Glass generously offered to let me review some Mezuzot. Because glassware can be difficult to photograph, these pictures do not do them justice! In person, they are even more beautiful and exceptionally shiny. They’re substantially thick without being too big and will look equally nice when hung in a vertical, horizontal, or angled position, per your preference/custom.

I love the contemporary look, colorful swirls, and girly vibe! For those who are seeking something unusual, Calisher Glass is happy to collaborate with clients and make their dreams come true.

One lucky winner will receive a redemption certificate from the artist, good for any Mezuzah they choose! Simply enter the giveaway before July 15. Good luck…

FIYAH Sterling Silver Ring Giveaway

One of the easiest ways to make an old outfit look new is by adding an accessory. Jewelry, of course, is the preferred accessory for most ladies and I’m no different. When it comes to earrings and necklaces, I can easily buy them off the rack. Rings, however, are a different story. I have very small fingers (ring size 4) and standard rings are always too big for me. Sure, I can have them re-sized, but what I really enjoy is getting to wear something the minute I buy it.

That’s why I was super-excited to discover this sterling silver plume ring from FIYAH. Not only is it stylish and shiny, it’s adjustable. It works perfectly as a stand-alone statement piece or paired with others as this photo demonstrates. Married ladies, take note: this makes a wonderful right hand ring, too.

The suggested size range, via FIYAH’s website, is 6-9, but it fit my scrawny chicken finger comfortably and I think larger ladies would have no problem, either. I’ve already gotten 3 compliments since I started wearing it which I love.

In addition to this gorgeous ring, FIYAH offers many other types of jewelry that are fabulous! Inspired by nature, mysticism, and music, their pieces exude confidence and power. Oh, and did I mention they’re based in Britain so they have that uniquely awesome Euro-style? (Yes, I’m an Anglophile!)

Wish you had this FIYAH ring? I have one to give away to a lucky winner! Enter before June 30. Good luck…
