Types of Jewish Jewelry

Jewish jewelry comes in many forms and shapes. From the ancient Hamsa hand to the majesty of the Jewish Menorah – Jewish jewelry is exquisitely unique in its purpose and design, and packed with religious significance. During 2,000 years of Diaspora, it was these unusual symbols that marked and distinguished Jewish families, which kept their ancient tradition alive.

 

Let’s start with the Jewish Menorah. It is the most important of the Jewish artifacts, as it has been for nearly 3 millennia. Thus, it is no surprise to learn the Menorah is the official emblem of the modern State of Israel. Artistically speaking, the Menorah is a 7-branched candelabrum, and this unusual geometry was handed down to Moses in a revelation of fire on Mt. Sinai. Several years later, this fiery design materialized in the form of several golden Menorahs, which stood as tall as man, and lit the inner chamber of the Temple.

 

Another well known Jewish artifact is the Mezuzah. The Mezuzah is a Hebrew parchment that can be found at the doorstep of any Jewish home. The Mezuzah is sealed inside a decorated case and then fixed to the right of the doorframe. Fixing a Mezuzah is believed to protect the house and its inhabitants. Its relatively small size enables the Mezuzah to be given as a personal gift to loved ones at housewarming gatherings.

 

Other types of Jewish symbols that fall under the title of Jewish jewelry include the Hamsa hand, the Star of David, and the Solomon Seal talisman. While precious in spiritual meaning, these Judaica gifts are also made of precious metals, such as real Sterling Silver, 24 Karat Gold, or Pewter.

 

A Hamsa is Arabic for "five", and a Hamsa hand is simply this: A talisman in the shape of a five-fingered hand. It is meant to protect the wearer from the curse of the Evil Eye, which is essentially the force of jealousy on one hand and of pride on the other. Hamsa hands can be hung on the wall, wrapped in bracelets around the wrist and ankle, or placed on the chest via a necklace set.

 

Another popular Jewish artifact is the Star of David. This symbol, also known as a Hexagram, was the formal emblem of the House of David, who ruled the ancient Israelites for hundreds of years. The six-pointed Star is interpreted in Kabbalah teachings as the culmination point of Heaven and Earth. It is also featured in the official flag of the State of Israel.

 

Solomon was the son of King David, and legend tells of his majestic signet ring. The ring was the source of Solomon’s unnatural wisdom, and it allowed him to rule wisely for many decades. Kabbalah scholars have deciphered the mystical drawings found on Solomon’s ring, and nowadays it is possible to wear Solomon talismans that resemble the original inscriptions.

 

All in all, Jewish jewelry represents important historical events and Kabbalistic numbers. The five fingers of the Hamsa, the six points of the Star of David, and the seven candlesticks of the Menorah – They are all meant to remind Jewish believers of their faith and tradition. In other words, Jewish jewelry in the form of silver necklaces, charm bracelets, and unique talismans make a truly significant present. It is hope for the future, crafted in the historical shapes of wisdom.
