The Jewish Museum and Cynthia Gale Partner to Create a Beautiful Judaica Collection
New York, NY – After the success of the previous jewelry collaboration with Cynthia Gale, The Jewish Museum opens its collections again for aesthetic inspiration behind new, wearable pieces.

New York, NY – After the success of the previous jewelry collaboration with Cynthia Gale, The Jewish Museum opens its collections again for aesthetic inspiration behind new, wearable pieces.

Says Susan Braunstein, Curator of Archaeology & Judaica and Chair of Curatorial Affairs for The Jewish Museum, “Cynthia Gale combs our Judaica collection for motifs to ornament her jewelry, and her keen eye finds elements that elude even those most familiar with its vast treasures. Thus, the leaves on a Hanukkah lamp shaped like the Tree of Life become a pendant, the delicate filigree scrollwork on an amulet is turned into a necklace, and the braided Star of David from a print morphs into a pair of cufflinks. Her imagination and creativity are a pleasure to behold.”
The second collection created with the museum, Cynthia Gale has indisputably established herself as an exceptional designer within the art world. Says Olga Gonzalez, Sales and Marketing Manager for GeoArt, “The Tree of Life necklace and earring is my new favorite set to wear. Incorporating the trend for mixed metals, sterling silver and brass, it is as striking in its design as it is in detail. It looks, feels and is a true hand-crafted piece of art.” Sterling silver and mother of pearl Peace Doves, delicate silver filigree Hamsas and a beautiful Star of David on white pearl make this collection beautiful on any woman. Three necklace and earring sets were created with Bat Mitzvahs in mind, perfect gifts of meaningful jewelry accompanied by curatorial cards. Inspired from the artwork of The Jewish Museum, it is now possible to find that hard-to-find personalized gift for the significant passing of a young Jewish girl into womanhood. For men, Cynthia Gale has created sterling silver and onyx cufflinks with an intricate weave pattern for the star, as well as handsome Lion cufflinks.
