| − | + | As well as working in colored metals like aluminum which remind them of the sea, the Bergners also like to work in stone, inspired by the ancient ruins in the area. The Roman amphitheater and aqueduct nearby, together with the archeological sites still being unearthed, provide them with plenty of ideas, both in terms of shape and materials. Everything from the designs on ancient coins, to the shape of an ancient glass amphora, a type of bottle, have been incorporated in their pieces They combined the amphora shape with Jerusalem stone to create a unique type of ''mezuzah'' case and it proved so popular that the style has been adopted by other Judaica artists. | |

The Bergners produce modern Judaica for the Jewish home, enabling people to celebrate all phases of the Jewish year. Caesarea Arts’ ''challah'' knives and boards are used specifically for the ''Sabbath'' and other Festivals, while their candlesticks can be used by anyone who appreciates good design. They also produce a selection of corporate gift sets which can be personalized to suit both Jewish and non-Jewish organizations and businesses alike. | The Bergners produce modern Judaica for the Jewish home, enabling people to celebrate all phases of the Jewish year.
