The Talmud says that the purpose of wearing a kippah is to remind us of God, who is the Higher Authority "above us" (Kiddushin 31a). External actions create internal awareness; wearing a symbolic, tangible "something above us" reinforces that idea that God is always watching. The kippah is a means to draw out one's inner sense of respect for God.
It's easy to remember God while at the synagogue or around the Shabbat table. But Jewish consciousness is meant to pervade all aspects of our lives -- how we treat others, how we conduct business, and how we look at the world.
Appropriately, the Yiddish word for head covering, "yarmulke," comes from the Aramaic, yira malka, which means "awe of the King."
In Hebrew, the head covering is called "kippah" -- literally "dome."
Kippah: A Blessing on Your Head, This is an excerpt by Rabbi Shraga Simmons, website:www.aish.com
The uniqueness of a Jewish head covering is hinted at in the blessing we say every morning, thanking God for "crowning Israel with splendor" (Talmud - Brachot 60b)
I am offering three different categories of the kippot that I design.
Option 1: Ready-Made Kippah
I have a number of kippot that I have already designed and created. They are a representation of the varied styles, and prices, that I create. These are available for purchase at this time. Some have matching tallit clips, earrings, necklaces and/or bracelets. If you purchase one of these kippot, and would like matching tallit clips, or a piece of jewelry that is not yet available, I would be happy to accommodate this request. Please check back often as new ones will be added. Click on link below to view items that are available at this time.

I will create a kippah for you in the color scheme that you desire. You may choose your color of wire and the color, or colors of Czech fire-polished beads, which are the smaller beads used in the kippah. I will choose a center bead that coordinates with your kippah. You may also choose to use a special pin, or small piece of heirloom jewelry for the center of the kippah. I will be happy to incorporate this for you at no additional charge.
