Let’s Talk About Jewelry!

We’ll be featuring a few shops a day. For a full list of our shops, watch the scrolling avatars at the top of the blog. For a full list of all our shops offering promotions during our Miracles of Hanukkah sale, go here!

Visart – http://visart.etsy.com

I remember when my kids were little, we bought some polymer clay, laid different colored pieces over one another, and stuck it in the oven. We all thought it was cool when they came out all mixed up and stuck together. We put a pin part in the back and called it jewelry. But what did we know? Visart takes that very same polymer clay and elevates it to new highs! Victoria Slutsky, the artist behind the shop, is an Israeli jewelry and accessories designer who knows how to really work that polymer!

She has so many designs running in her mind. she has neither the intention nor the time to make two pieces that are exactly the same. That just keeps her shop fresh and interesting, with new ideas, colors, and products with every visit.

For the Miracles of Hanukkah Sale, Visart is offering 10% off for any purchase of $30 or more from any of her stores (refund through PayPal). Just use the code word in the “Notes to Seller”: If you are coming from this blog, use the secret word "candles." For Jewish Woman Magazine, use the secret word "JW Mag."

Swirsky Designs – http://swirskydesigns.etsy.com

Another one of our Israeli artists, the owner of Swirsky Designs is a full time studio jeweler, living and working in the gorgeous and historical Judean Hills of central Israel. She divides her time between working in the studio and being with the real treasure of her life: her daughter.

Her forte is pieces made with sterling silver, some accented with stones such as opal, garnet, etc. Her influences are definitely from where she lives, but her design voice is absolutely her own.

For the Miracles of Hanukkah Sale, Swirsky Designs is offering 10% off any purchase PLUS a free gift with any purchase over $30. Just use the code word in the “Notes to Seller”: If you are coming from this blog, use the secret word "candles." For Jewish Woman Magazine, use the secret word "JW Mag."
