About
A nigun is a wordless melody: a few notes, sung over and over by a circle of friends until it carries itself. That's the feeling we wanted in gold.
Nigun comes from Nachlaot, the old neighbourhood of lanes and courtyards behind the shuk, where somebody always has a guitar and Friday night runs late. We make small, everyday gold for the women we sing with: friends on a gap year or at seminary, friends who made aliyah, and friends back home in the Bay Area who want a piece of it.
We work only in gold. Fine chains, little charms, thin hoops, a signet for the pinky, an anklet. A flame, two candles, a moon, a Hebrew word. Pieces to layer, to stack, and to forget you have on.
