MUGI – My Unique Gift Idea

Share.. I was on vacation in New Mexico last week. It was my quest to find the best possible South-Western food and artwork.

Share..I love a piece of Jewelry that is finely detailed, so that every time you observe it something new draws your attention.  These Turquoise Flower Earrings are a marvelous example.

Share..Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in Israel. How ’bout that? I browsed through AmuletGifts.com in search of nice gifts for the one and only – mum, mama, mommy or however you like to call her.

Share..A lot of the items we have for sale on MostOriginal.com, like Kabbalah bracelets or Judaica items, have a true sense of depth to them. It’s nice to work with pieces that have significance, but sometimes you just need a little lightness, you know what I mean? That’s why I love Lara Levi’s jewelry collection, and [...]

Share..I just love the combination of Turquoise and Gold. At a first thought, they don’t necessarily match because Turquoise is close to blue and green while Gold is closer to yellow or even orange. But “color specialists” (yes, these people actually do exist) tag Turquoise as a winter color and Gold as an autumn color, which means [...]

Share.. The notion that Jewish Jewelry is always so serious and honorable is ridiculous to me. It’s not the theme that determines a jewel’s nature. It’s the artist. Take a look at this Gold Wire Charms Bangle, for an example. It’s so cute, so lightweight. The last thing that comes to mind when you see such [...]
