This mezuzah is absolutely beautiful. I was told the photograph did not do the piece justice. This is an understatement. It is an exquisite, thoughtful art piece, more than worthy of the scroll it holds. Ruth has been incredibly accessible, considerate and understanding accommodating at every step of the purchase. This has been an outstanding experience and I couldn’t recommend her work any more highly.

Beautiful mezuzah. Excellent craftsmanship and care were obviously put into this piece. Looks lovely on our front doorsill.

Just beautiful. It is made to order, so this unique mezuzah will differ from what is pictured, as the size and location of the shin does on the one I received. A piece of art for our home.

Very resolved and original pendant design. I love the concealed bail on the back that fits every chain size because it’s large enough but has a flat profile that the pendant lays perfectly on your body. The design is contemporary and graphic. It works well on both a silver chain or on a black silk cord.

David, I’m so happy that you like your new necklace. I’m also honored that you took the time to write such a thoughtful review. Thank you!
