As a tourist in Jerusalem 17 times (!), I always made sure to visit Baltinester Brothers Jewelry & Judaica shop in the heart of town, where I could find a beautiful piece of jewelry to take home as a fond memory of my visit to Israel. Now, after 19 years of living here, I still find it a pleasure to pass by the lovely display in their store showcase (others prefer going on to their website: www.baltinesterjewelry.com).
Over the years, Ive bought gorgeous earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings of silver, gold, gemstones, and antique, authentic Roman glass, and all at affordable prices. Such fun to buy presents for my 12 nieces and 2 nephews! Wonderful birthday presents! Stunning wedding gifts! Meaningful bar/bat mitzvah presents! Now, theyve been going to Baltinesters with their husbands and wives for engagement rings and wedding bands, and/or something special to say I care!
Rami and Yoram are not only interested in providing their customers with the finest jewelry and Judaica at the best prices, but have a warm, friendly, professional staff to assist in making the best selections for their discerning customers. They get what I like and need, and understand if my budget doesnt match my taste. They seem to always find something exquisite to put a smile on my face.
My home was recently robbed, and almost all of my jewelry was stolen. Especially dear to me were the two garnet (my birthstone) rings and clip-on earrings which were bought for me by my mother obm, and which I wore practically all the time. Rami and Yoram found 2 beautiful gold rings with high quality stones, and made for me clip-on earrings to match one of the rings. I was so happy to find such lovely replacements, I couldnt leave without buying the matching pendant!
I highly recommend you visit Baltinesters; theyre the best!
