Signature Papercut Ketubah Collection
As I’m now focusing my studio time on fully custom, handmade and original watercolor-painted ketubot, each one designed and created from scratch for a specific couple, I no longer take direct orders for papercut ketubot.
However, many of these designs are now produced and offered by Ketubah.com, where you can order them in a range of sizes, colors and text options.

A pair of papercut doves nests among the branches, a Jewish symbol of peace and devotion sealing the covenant between bride and groom, in the age-old Sephardic papercutting tradition.
An airy, open lattice of papercut branches lets light and shadow move across the ketubah text, a modern reading of the Sephardic papercut craft that likens a marriage to a tree whose branches keep reaching outward.
Intricate lacework paired with the poetry of the Persian master Saadi Shirazi, set against a rich color field, honors the Judeo-Persian papercutting tradition long used to adorn Sephardic and Mizrahi marriage contracts.
Cut in the graceful silhouette of an open book bordered by romantic florals and vines, this papercut design frames the ketubah like an illuminated page from the couple’s own story, in keeping with the Sephardic papercut tradition of transforming paper into ornamental lace for sacred texts.
Rooted in the biblical Etz Chaim, this design’s branching papercut canopy frames the ketubah as a symbol of the couple’s intertwined, ever-growing life together, in keeping with Sephardic papercut artistry.
Because it is packed with dense, bursting red seeds, the pomegranate is a universal ancient symbol of fertility, abundance, and fruitfulness, celebrated as one of the Seven Species native to the Land of Israel, framing this ketubah in the Sephardic papercut tradition.
A symmetrical vegetal damask, its repeating leaves and scrolls echoing the theme of ongoing renewal at the heart of Jewish tradition, surrounds the ketubah text in the classic Sephardic decorative papercut style.
A papercut lattice of city windows frames the ketubah, the Jewish marriage contract, in delicate cutwork reminiscent of Jerusalem’s stone archways, continuing the Sephardic tradition of piercing a single sheet of paper into lace.
Finely cut branches spread across a square papercut layer, symbolizing the Etz Chaim, the Tree of Life, and the new family taking root beneath the chuppah.
Blooming vines and a wreath of flowers encircle the ketubah text, evoking the Jewish image of the garden as Gan Eden and the age-old Sephardic papercutting craft, in which artisans transform wedding blessings into intricate cutwork from one unbroken sheet.
