Israeli jewelery is inseparable from Middle East jewelery, which is the product of an extensive cultural exchange between the peoples inhabiting its territory since ancient times. Thus, the jewelry traditions of different ethnic groups mutually enriched each other, while maintaining their beauty and originality.
Israeli silver jewelry reflects the aspirations and spiritual depths of the Jewish people, while at the same time reflecting the successive stages of its cultural development.
DEN'O silver is a unique combination of modern achievements in the field of design and technology with traditional forms of jewelry that have come down to our days from ancient times.

In this way, purchase of silver products from the Israeli brand DEN'O - This is not only the purchase of an exquisite fashion accessory that perfectly emphasizes the individuality of the owner, but also a prudent investment.
The 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.
To create silver jewelry of the Israeli brand DEN'O, traditional precious and semiprecious stones are used, such as carnelian, turquoise, garnet, emerald. In addition to these stones, Israeli craftsmen often use moonstone, pearls and amethyst. They make bead inserts into rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants, which are often trimmed with hot enamel, which is a classic for jewelry in the Middle East.
The color of the product is very important for Israeli craftsmen - The most common since ancient times are blue and red. Red carries a protective function - products from pomegranate, ruby and carnelian protect their owners from troubles; 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 - a symbol of fertility. This combination is very popular with ancient jewelers. Silver jewelry made in such a color scheme gives its owner excellent health.
