Jewish Gift Place Welcomes the Designs of Emily Rosenfeld!

Jewish Gift Place is thrilled to welcome a new artist to our site: Emily Rosenfeld. We are sure you will agree her artwork is gorgeous! Emily’s expressive jewelry and home accessories are handcrafted from pewter. Her pieces convey a strong sense of tradition with a contemporary interpretation and a playful sense of whimsy.

Emily’s line is crafted in western Massachusetts but her journey in perfecting her craft has taken her from San Francisco to New York. Emily began her career in the jewelry industry, working for production jewelers, Lewis and Hubener. Recognizing her eye for making beautiful pieces and her love of the craft, she decided to try her hand at her own business. She started small, running her business out of a Murphy bed closet! It was not long before her talents were recognized by the artistic community. Today, her home in the countryside of Florence, Massachusetts inspires her love of nature and this is a common theme that runs throughout her work. Emily says, “I feel continually inspired to develop new designs and play with new materials and techniques.”

Emily’s work is lovingly designed with the vision of an artist. Each design starts off as a drawing which is worked without editing until Emily achieves a form she wants to bring to life. A model is then crafted and finally cast in pewter. Emily’s preference towards using pewter is an expression of her desire that her work be valued not for the materials used, but for the joy and strength that she pours into each piece. Jewish Gift Place has recently added Emily Rosenfeld’s Judaica collection and we have received great attention from our customers! Her pieces have been extremely popular after only a short time on our site. We carry the full line of Emily’s judaica, which includes many unique mezuzot, jewelry including earrings, necklaces and bracelets, kiddish cups, tzedakah boxes and dreidel. Emily puts heart and thought into each piece and each is unique and inspirational. Each design incorporates the letter Shin which is part of God’s name. These whimsical items both continue and reinterpret the tradition, making a lovely gift to pass on for a wedding or bar mitzvah. Emily’s love for her work is palpable in the striking pewter pieces she creates and that is transferred to anyone who owns a piece. Emily shares, “Making my work makes me very happy; I hope owning it brings a measure of joy as well.”
