Looking for recommendations for a reasonably priced, good selection place in Brooklyn or your experience in buying them in Israel and having them shipped to the US.

If she has modern taste, she may like something from Michael Aram

You can also get the matching tray and other matching items

I know you weren't asking, but I would recommend letting her pick them out based on your budget. She will be lighting them the rest of her life, they may as well be her taste. My mil called the store ahead to display ones in budget and I picked from those. Just a recommendation.

I took my DILs to a store to which Id called in advance and given a price range - they showed many choices and they got to pick and we made a day out of it with lunch

I don't even get the q. Mil sent me to the silver store (actually she asked which store I want to go to), they showed me what was in her budget and I chose from those.

You can prob do the same at any Judaica boutique if you wanted cheaper options than silver.

Let her choose them. Our experience with a Lakewood store was we told the proprietor our budget and they steered her to that display cabinet. I assume other stores do similar.

So..does anyone have a store recommendation? One where she can send her DIL to choose, if she'd like?

Thank goodness mil has great taste and chose herself otherwise 15 years later I’d still be standing in the store deciding.

Also got mine at elite sterling.

Dh called them ahead of time with the budget and we went together to choose.

I know you mentioned brooklyn or Israel, but I have dealt with giftsbygilda.com for many years and her prices and selection cant be beat. She is in Baltimore.

Thank you all, I wasn't planning to choose them for her, just need to know where to send them to choose. The quick look at the websites shows that in Israel prices and selection are somewhat better. Anyone bought there recently and brought it to the States? Thank you for the heads up on the Hatzorfim in Flatbush.

Hatzorfim . My dil picked from their website. They shipped free of charge. I gave her a price range & that’s it.

Did you have any problems with customs?
