Q: What is a Ketubah?

A: A Ketubah is a decorative Jewish marriage certificate that contains an artistic design combined with Hebrew and/or English text.

Although its traditional purpose was to specify the legal obligations of a groom to his bride, today a Ketubah is one of the prime objects of Judaic artistic expression, and it serves as a permanent and beautiful symbol of mutual commitment and partnership.

A beautiful Ketubah is not only important for aesthetic reasons. It is deeply rooted in Jewish custom. The concept of "hiddur mitzvah" ("adornment of a commandment") instructs that ritual objects should not only be functional but must also be beautiful. We are honored that our Ketubot are chosen by modern couples to fulfill this lovely traditional sentiment.

Q: What is a Giclee print?

A: A Giclee print is a digitally produced, high quality reproduction of an original work of art. Giclee prints offer superior brilliance, detail and depth, making them a logical choice for our Ketubah prints.

Our Giclee printing process combines technologically advanced large format printing processes, traditional, hands-on craftsmanship, and high-quality fine art watercolor papers, resulting in reproductions that are faithful to the original works of art, particularly in terms of color saturation. Due to the wonderful art paper that is available today, Giclee prints have the same look, texture and feel of an original work of art, making Giclees very authentic reproductions. We use only archival-quality inks and papers, which produce top quality reproductions that ensure the greatest possible image longevity.

Our Giclee prints are individually hand-signed by the artist, Michelle Rummel, at the time of production.

Our Giclee prints, reproductions of hand-painted designs, are true works of fine art. We take great pride in the fact that our designs were all originally hand-painted rather than originally designed on a computer.

Q: Are the colors of the artwork I am viewing on my monitor true to the original paintings?

A: Our images reproduce the colors of our original artwork as closely as possible. Great care is taken to match the color saturation, intensity and contrast of the originals. However, due to the many computer configurations available today, variations in color accuracy are likely. Colors often look different on different monitors. Ordering a sample of the design(s) you are considering is a terrific way to see the colors, accurately represented.
