Peculiarities
The land of Israel has rich traditions of jewelry art, because the first mentions of Jewish jewelers were found in the Talmud - the ancient teachings of the Jews. The Bible mentions that from time immemorial in Israel there were masters of gold and silver.
Israel's jewelry art is inseparable from the jewelry art of the Middle East, which is the product of an extensive cultural exchange between the peoples who have inhabited its territory since ancient times. Thus, the traditions of jewelry making of different ethnic groups mutually enriched each other, while maintaining their beauty and originality.
Israeli silver jewelry reflects the aspirations and spiritual depth of the Jewish people, while at the same time reflecting the successive stages of their cultural development.
DEN'O Silver is a unique combination of modern advances in design and technology with traditional forms of jewelry that have survived to this day from ancient times.
In our difficult time, the period of electronic technology and high speeds, people are increasingly turning to ancient traditions, looking for answers to many unresolved questions in them.

All DEN'O products are made from sterling silver - it is silver of the highest 925 standard, containing 92.5% pure silver and only 7.5% copper. For comparison, ordinary jewelry silver, from which most jewelry is made, has a purity of 800, which means that such products contain 20% copper. Thus, purchase of silver items from the Israeli brand DEN'O Is not only a purchase of an exquisite fashion accessory that perfectly emphasizes the individuality of the owner, but also a prudent investment.
Properties
Initially, precious stones that were inserted into jewelry were endowed with magical properties, and people wearing silver rings with opal or jasper often consulted such jewelry when making important decisions.
Traditional precious and semi-precious stones such as carnelian, turquoise, garnet, and emerald are used to create silver jewelry of the Israeli brand DEN'O. In addition to these stones, Israeli craftsmen often use moonstone, pearls and amethyst. They are used as beads in rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants, often finished with hot enamel, which is a classic in Middle Eastern jewelry.
For Israeli craftsmen, the color of the product is very important. - the most common colors since ancient times are blue and red. Red has a protective function - products made of pomegranate, ruby and carnelian protect their owners from harm; blue - the color of spirituality - symbolizes water and sky and is represented by lapis lazuli, turquoise and blue enamel. Yellow - the color of the Sun, a symbol of life, green is a symbol of fertility. This combination is very popular with ancient jewelers. Silver jewelry made in this color scheme bestows excellent health on its wearer.
