If you are looking for the perfect piece of Jewish Jewelry let us try and lay out some of the many options that are out there today.. - Hamsa Necklaces are a popular piece of jewelry today, worn all around the world. The Hamsa is an ancient talisman that is believed to protect one from the evil eye and from negative influences. It is shaped like a downward-facing palm of a hand and will sometimes feature fish or an eye in the center of the palm due to fish being a sign of good luck in Judaism and the eye is reference to protection from the evil eye. The origin of the Hamsa is unclear and it has been adapted over time by a number of religions including Christianity, Judaism and Islam, each of which have their own unique name for this symbol.
- Star of David Jewelry incorporates the relatively modern Star of David symbol that has become the symbol of Judaism and Israel in our times. Many centuries ago the Star wasn't even associated with Judaism but since it was chosen to represent Zionism and the State of Israel by Herzl and became a central feature on the national flag it has become a popular sign that represents an affiliation with the Jewish nation and homeland.
- Kabbalah Jewelry has also become increasingly popular in recent years. This genre of Jewish Jewelry incorporates mystic symbols and texts and with the rise in the search for the meaning and purpose of life in today's world, many people find themselves drawn to these beautiful pieces of art that are both attractive and very meaningful. Many believe that the symbols and texts on these pieces of jewelry bring good energies in to one's life resulting in positive changes.
- Chai Jewelry is jewelry that incorporates the Hebrew word "Chai," meaning life. The Jewish people are known for their resilience and for their will to survive and carry forward the light of G-d despite all the hardships and this idea is perfectly portrayed by "Chai." Chai Jewelry is a popular present for those turning eighteen because the Hebrew alphabet has a parallel numerical system called "Gematria" and the numerical value of the word "Chai," is none other than eighteen.
- Pomegranate Jewelry is another type of Jewish Jewelry. Pomegranates are one of the seven species that the land of Israel is blessed with and represents fertility and life that is as full of good deeds as a pomegranate is filled with seeds. The sheer beauty of the pomegranate fruit combined with the unique messages it carries, makes it a popular choice.
