Today in our modern Jewish gifts blog, I'd like to introduce to you a wonderful studio design called Adina Plastelina. The studio was established five years ago by two young designers, Adi and Sami in an Israeli kibbutz and have recently moved to the old city of Jaffa ( which is part of Tel Aviv).

Adina Plastelina studio has designed this delightful piece of jewelry that pretty much goes with anything you wear. This butterfly pendant is one of my favorite in my Israeli jewelry collection. If you're interested in a romantic gift for your partner, you might find heart-shaped design a perfect fit.This is also a great Bat mitvah gift idea.

The artists use an ancient glassware technique called the Millefiori process which literally means "a thousand flowers". The designers have replaced the glass with polymer clay to create this naturalistic jewelry items in vibrant colors. Each item is a bit different than the next.

Dad Artist!

Today, in my modest Jewish gifts blog, I'd like you to meet a young artist from Israel called Guychook, or as I like to call him - Dad artist. Guychook lives and works in Israel and creates these delightful pieces.

When asked why he started to draw, Guychook's replied:

"The pictures I draw are meant to put a smile on anyone who looks at them. I have had this need since childhood, to simply make people laugh."

This might not be a common idea for a Jewish gift, but it well reflects current Israeli mood - the need to smile. In my mind it makes a wonderful and an original gift for anyone with a child, or for your own children. I actually purchased one of Guychook's works for my brother's birthday, who is 23 years old…I say, if as you are young at heart, that's all that counts! Visit Guychook's fantasy world at the Jewish gifts website.

Sweet gifts with a Jewish twist

I've just found this cool site: if you enter the day of your birth, the site will provide you with interesting facts about the day you were born.

If you know anyone who has a birthday, and you want to give him or her something sweet and affordable, I have a great gift idea for you – a designed key ring or a mobile phone accessory. Israeli designers have really set their imagination free, creating a wide selection of key rings that would fit any gender at any age.

This key ring is desinged by one of the most succesful Israeli jewelry designers today, Orna Lalo. Orna Lalo is well-known for her unique and original collections of chic jewelry. Lalo's works are always playful and delightful and they are exhibited in shops and galleries around the world.

you can also find key rings in other interesting designs: several are shaped as Hamsas, hearts and even colorful pomegranates. You can take a look here.
