Ophir

Many Jerusalemites and visitors have become fans of this shop’s delicate jewelry designs that echo Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and Middle Eastern styles, and are made by the owner, Avraham, himself. Prices are extremely reasonable, and Avraham’s stock is augmented by many unusual antique and semiantique items. Although for decades Ophir held forth in a tiny closetlike workshop, it’s now housed in new, lavish surroundings. A second, tiny branch of Ophir, packed with wonderful things, is on the Ben Yehuda Mall, slightly uphill from Moshiko’s Shwarma. Open Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9am to 1pm and 4 to 7pm; Tuesday and Friday from 9am to 1pm only.
