Mazal Tov!

Mazel Tov!!!

In the jewish tradition, a plate is broken at the official engagement ceremony to symbolize all of the dishes that will broken in the coming years the dedication to keeping a family together that will be a major part of the couple's new lives together.  For most people, the plate is broken and then the pieces disappear never to be seen again.  One recent client, a romatic chattan (bridegroom) brought me a small piece of the plate that he wished to have made into a piece of jewelery for his kallah (bride).  


 

Did I mention he planned to give it to her the next morning and haded me a very roughly shaped piece of plate with very jagged edges just before I had planned to head to bed?


 

I think I came through pretty well though.  It occours to me that this project would be a good one to add to my list of courses and seminars.  It is only slightly harder than making a wedding band.  May I should put together a wedding jewelery package.


 

Bridal tiaras comming soon.
