Silver Door Plaques

My customer was so happy with the name plaques I made her that she came back to me for more. This time she asked for silver frames, but with the same blue backing paper as before.
I created three papercuts, each with the names of some newly married couples. I hope that Elisheva and Yehuda, Oriya and Yossi, and Carmel and Benaiah like their plaques. 
Elisheva, Yehuda and Yossi are quite common Hebrew names. The name Oriya means "my light".
The name Benaiah was a new one to me. It means "God has built". It is derived from the Hebrew word "bana" (to build). The name is found in the Bible, where Benaiah is depicted as a valiant warrior and leader, particularly during the reigns of King David and King Solomon.
Benaiah's wife's name, Carmel, means "vineyard" or "garden".

Excellent gifts. I really love the blue backing paper against the white. xx

I would love a brighter, more polished silver frame, but that may be too expensive. Can I order a plaque for our 55 wedding anniversary at the beginning of 2026, with Ayala and Yisrael Mordechai? My beloved will pay in advance :)

I loved learning about the meaning of the different names. Such beautiful insights and what a treasured gift a name plate you've created must be for a new couple to receive!
