A Ketubah that is also a precious work of art
Designed and hand painted especially for you by Raquy
Celebrate this sacred union with a ketubah, designed just for you and hand painted with real gold.
Illuminist Raquy Danziger uses ancient painting techniques that she learned from years of study in Istanbul to make shining, one of a kind Ketubahs painted with real gold and made with top quality archival materials.
Together we will work to create a special Ketubah that you will cherish forever; a piece of art reflecting who you are as a couple.
Raquy is thrilled to collaborate with Izzy Pludwinski, master scribe (סוֹפֵר) and author of The Beauty of the Hebrew Letter who will hand write the text of the Ketubah in the holy city of Jerusalem.
You can request a completely new design, or a modification of an existing design from the featured collection. Raquy also can do a “ketubah makeover” - redoing the art around a ketubah from the past.
The steps to creating your ketubah are:
-Meeting (video or in person) with Raquy to decide on theme and motifs, and text options
-You will receive drafts of the design that can be altered until you are completely in love
-Raquy will hand paint your ketubah using highest quality gold, watercolors, gouache and acrylic paints on acid free, vegan archival paper.
-You will get pictures and videos of the painting process
-You will receive your ketubah along with a letter of authenticity within 2 months of placing the order.
This was painted with 100 year old gold that the groom inherited from his grandfather. See how it shines!
Testimonials
Our ketubah is absolutely gorgeous. The intricate artwork is stunning, the colors are beautiful, and the gold paint makes it luscious! This ketubah made our union feel extra special, and we will treasure it forever.
-Jonathan and Amy Schwartz
We are both delighted. The gold leaf Raquy used was given to Jamey by his grandpa, Irving. Her artwork is beautiful and the love and care that went into the piece is so obvious.
