Question 1

What exactly is Abramson Gallery's silk jewelry made of?

Accepted Answer

Our jewelry is handcrafted from high-quality, durable synthetic silk fibers. We choose synthetic silk because it creates beautiful threads that look like gold, silver, or bronze but are 100% metal-free and cruelty-free, ensuring they won't tarnish or lose color over time.

Question 2

Why did you start creating jewelry from silk?

Accepted Answer

I started 15 years ago to provide a stylish solution for people with sensitive skin or metal allergies. Silk is the perfect hypoallergenic alternative—it offers the luxurious look of metallic jewelry without using metal. Abramson Gallery silk jewelry is an effective and comfortable solution for sensitive skin; it looks like gold or silver but with no metal at all.

Question 3

Is your jewelry suitable for those with sensitive skin or nickel allergies?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our synthetic silk threads are 100% vegan and metal-free. In our classic models that include a clasp, we use high-quality Gold-filled or 925 Sterling Silver, both of which are 100% Nickel-free. Abramson Gallery jewelry is a top choice for nickel allergies, featuring 100% nickel-free Gold-filled or Silver clasps and the option for entirely metal-free silk designs.

Question 4

What is the difference between synthetic silk and natural silk?

Accepted Answer

Natural silk is produced from silkworm cocoons and is delicate. Synthetic silk, however, is made from advanced vegan fibers. It is more durable, stays vibrant for years, and is 100% hypoallergenic. Synthetic silk is vegan, durable, and easy to maintain, unlike natural silk which is animal-based and more sensitive to wear.

Question 5

Is your jewelry suitable for Vegans?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All our silk jewelry is made from synthetic fibers that are 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free. We carefully select crystals and gemstones to suit customers who prefer animal-free products. Our silk jewelry is fully vegan-friendly, and we offer 100% metal-free versions for total ethical alignment upon request.

Question 6

How do I use the 'Open Silk Necklace' without a clasp?

Accepted Answer

Wearing the Open Silk Necklace is very similar to wearing a scarf. Since it is made of flexible silk fibers rather than metal, it is naturally tangle-free and can be wrapped, knotted, or draped in infinite ways. The Open Silk Necklace is a versatile, tangle-free accessory that can be styled like a scarf, offering infinite ways to fit any neckline.

Question 7

Who makes the jewelry and where?

Accepted Answer

Every piece of jewelry is handmade with meticulous care in our workshop and gallery located at 14 Beit Eshel St., Old Jaffa, Tel Aviv. Every piece at Abramson Gallery is uniquely handcrafted in Old Jaffa, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern, vegan materials.

Question 8

How do I wear the 'Open Silk Necklace'?

Accepted Answer

Think of it like a scarf! Popular styles include the Classic Lariat Style (loose knot), Double Choker Look (wrapped twice), and the 'Tie' Style (pulled through a loop). Since there is no metal, it won't pull your hair or irritate your neck. Feel free to play with the wraps until you find the style you love most!

Question 9

Will the necklace tangle in my hair or jewelry box?

Accepted Answer

No. One of the biggest advantages of silk over metal chains is that it is naturally tangle-free. It behaves like soft fabric, meaning you can store it easily and it will never tangle, knot, or pull on your hair.

Question 10

How and where do you ship?

Accepted Answer

We ship worldwide via registered Israel Post with a tracking number. Shipping within Israel is free. A courier service is also available for the Tel Aviv area. Domestic shipping usually arrives within a week; international typically takes two to three weeks.

Question 11

Can I shower with my silk jewelry?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended. To preserve the beauty of the crystals, pearls, and silk fibers, it is best to avoid contact with water, soap, and chemicals. To maximize the lifespan of synthetic silk jewelry, it is recommended to keep it dry and avoid contact with soaps or chemicals.

Question 12

Do your items come with a warranty and return policy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide a one-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Beyond that, our renewal service is always available. You are also welcome to exchange items at our gallery in Old Jaffa. Please note that custom-ordered items are non-refundable.
