Leather Challah Cover with Crystal Embroidery, Matching Board #875

Crystal-set embroidery worked directly into leather. On design 875 the sterling crystals are not an afterthought scattered over a finished pattern — they are placed within the stitching so the two read as one piece of work, and the leather beneath gives them a solid backing that keeps them sitting proud rather than sinking. Under candlelight the crystals are the first thing you see; in daylight the embroidery takes over.

Cut in three sizes: 14.5 by 17.5, 15.5 by 19.5 and 19.5 by 23.5. A crystal-heavy cover is best given room, so if you are between two sizes take the larger. It also means the cover has some weight to it, which is an advantage — it stays where you put it and does not lift when someone reaches across the table.

Malchut cuts a challah board in the same 875 design and a tallis and tefillin bag as well. Keep the number written down somewhere; matching pieces bought years apart still line up because the design stays in production.
