Fay Miller the handblown glass artist created this wedding glass. Her breakable wedding glass or sometimes called the groom’s glass is part of a larger collection of Fay Miller’s. Fay Miller has also created candlesticks, kiddush cups, menorahs, mezuzahs, dreidels, and frames that incorporate the shardz of a broken wedding glass.

Once again the breakable wedding glass makes the perfect bridal shower gift which could be followed by a wedding glass keepsake by Fay Miller as the wedding gift.

The shards of the glass could than be used to create so many different keepsakes. Gary Rosenthal has a entire bridal line of Wedding Glass Keepsakes such as mezuzahs, frames, Kidduah cups and menorahs. Once you break the glass under the chuppah you could easily deposit the shards into tubes that are attached to each of these items.

The wedding glass along with one of the keepsake items also makes a perfect bridal and wedding gift. It is always fun to present the wedding glass with the velvet bag at a bridal shower and than give a wedding glass keepsake item as a wedding gift. You can’t go wrong.

One of the primary reasons given for the breaking of the wedding glass is that joy must be tempered. While everyone is celebrating the joy of a wedding they should also not forget things that were always not so joyous such as the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. A little heavy I know.

So this tradition has always been carried out with a plain glass.  But with time things have evolved. Now you could add some fun to the breaking of the wedding glass with a colorful glass. Often times the broken pieces of the glass are turned into Wedding Glass Keepsakes: mezuzahs, frames, candlesticks, and even vases. (Look for future blogs on what to do with the wedding glass shards.) So knowing that there is a future life for the shards it is great to get creative with the glass that you are actually breaking.

We offer 3 different types of breakable wedding glasses by three different artists. Each artist offers a different color and slightly different style. All off them come with a bag to place the glass in.  Each one has a bit of a different shape but are equally beautiful. Each of the glasses sell for $30 which is a perfect price point for a wedding shower gift. And best of all it is something that you know will be used.

Check out the different breakable wedding glasses and break your wedding glass in style.

These wire kippahs are also perfect for a Bat Mitzvah girl and easily match any tallit.

You could always go with a nice piece of funky fun jewelry. Currently our favorite piece is the Leather Evil Eye Cuff bracelet. It is available in apple green, black, red, light blue and white. (Our favorite color is apple green, but then again we love green.) The evil eye is always worn for protection and good luck.

So if you haven’t fallen in love with the Leather Evil Eye Cuff Bracelet our other favorite piece is the Ruby Shema Bracelet. The Shem Yisrael Charm measures 3/4″ and is set with cubic zirconia stones in sterling silver and is hand strung on genuine rubies. The Shema,  ”Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one,” found in Deuteronomy 6:4, is the most important prayer of the Jewish people.

If you don’t think your mother would like jewelry you should think of getting her a piece of art. A print with the text of Eshet Chayil.  Eshet Chayil or Woman of Valor is a twenty-two verse poem with which King Solomon concludes the book of Proverbs (Proverbs 31). The poem has an acrostic arrangement in which the verses begin with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in regular order. The poem describes the woman of valor as one who is energetic, righteous, and capable. It is customarily recited on Friday evenings. One of our favorite Eshet Chayil prints is one by the artist Micki Caspi. This illumination in the Italinate style comes with an English translation by the artist and her husband.

These are just a few suggestions but visit our website to see our complete collection.
