The Signature Collection

Bareket

בָּרֶקֶת — Emerald

The Bareket collection is built around a single principle: that a Shabbat cover should be something you pass down, not replace. Seven models — each named for a Jewish queen or heroine — worked entirely by hand in our New Delhi studio. Zardozi needle moving through 100% linen, shimmering velvet, and upholstery-grade fabric, finished with gold and silver metallic thread, crystals, pearls, glass beads, and silk. Designed in Jerusalem. Made to last a lifetime.

The Collection Story

Why Bareket

Bareket — emerald — is the stone of the second tribe on the High Priest's breastplate. We named this collection for what it carries: the weight of something real. Seven models, each bearing the name of a Jewish queen or heroine — Judith, Myriam, Bat Sheva, Shlomzion, Athalia, Esther. Each worked entirely by hand: gold and silver metallic thread through 100% linen, shimmering velvet, and upholstery-grade fabric. Sizes range from 41 × 53 cm to 45 × 62 cm. Labor from approximately 40 to 130 hours per piece. What arrives on your Shabbat table has been held, and turned, and finished by hand — in a studio in New Delhi that Liora and David Yair opened together in 2022.

"Seven models. Each a name. Each a story carried in thread."

★★★★★
The most beautiful thing on my Shabbat table. The embroidery is extraordinary — I've had it six months and guests stop every Friday to look at it.

★★★★★
Worth every shekel. The Esther is breathtaking — you can feel the hours that went into it. I keep it on the table even when it's not Shabbat, just to look at.

★★★★★
The Miriam in lilac is exactly what I imagined, and somehow more beautiful in person. The colour, the weight, the embroidery — it's perfect. I ordered a second for my sister.
