Mezuzah By Irma Small Size, Clear And Nickel

Meaningful, the crystal Mezuzah captivates with its curved lines that catch the light. While it is produced at the Lalique Manufacture in Wingen sur Moder Alsace, its design comes from Tel Aviv Irma Orenstein, an Israeli architect and designer, imagined and designed it, wishing to create a unique mezuzah that beautifully conveys the cultural symbolism associated with this sacred object. Irma finds her inspiration in her traditions. For her, the mezuzah represents Home. This collaboration was born from the desire to melt faith and art.The purity of the satin finish and repolished crystal associated to the brilliance of the frame finely engraved with specific signs, make this protective guardian an exceptional piece.

Trained as a jeweler at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in the late 1880's, Rene Lalique gained recognition as an independent designer for some of the era's great jewelry houses including Cartier and Boucheron. Eventually, he turned to glassmaking, and his techniques were a triumph for the Art Deco movement. Every piece of Lalique is finely detailed and produced by hand in Alsace, France.
