Meaning of jewelry in Jewish tradition

Hamsa

The Hamsa hand or Hamesh hand is a common motif in Jewish jewellery. Often, Arab cultures refer to it as the Hand of Fatima. This represents the Hand of God. The Hamsa serves as an ancient talismanic way of warding off the evil eye and offering a protective hand. This motif often appears in a stylized form, such as a hand that has three raised fingers and often two symmetrically arranged thumbs. The symbol typically used on amulets, jewellery, cars, doorways, and other places serve to ward off the evil eye.

Hamsa's origin is believed to predate Islam. The symbol was used earlier in Punic religion, where it was related to Tanit. In Jewish and Israeli culture, it is popularly known as Hamsa, with no implications of Islamic heritage. Some sources connect the meaning of the five fingers with the five books of the Torah.

David's star

This symbol was used in the Roman period in Israel; however, it seems to have been related to Judaism in particular only in later centuries. In the 17th century, it became common practice to place the Star of David on the outside of synagogues, recognizing them as Jewish store and houses of worship, moreover, it is unclear why this symbol was chosen for this.

At this point, the Star of David is a generally recognized symbol of the Jews. You can see it on the flag of Israel.

Chai

You might see the Chai jewellery advertised and be puzzled as to what this means, so let us explain. Chai in Hebrew means to live, and the Hebrew word is made up of two letters, Yud and Chet. The Hebrew letters have a numerical meaning, and the numerical meaning of the phrase Chai is 18. Therefore, many Jews have the custom of giving donations of money or charity in multiples of 18, which means the desire for life. Many will say that the phrase Chai means Gd, like Gd alive, while others say it means that Judaism focuses on the value of life.

Mezuzah

Mezuza is a small case that is placed on doorposts and on the doors of all Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues. Overall, the case features the Hebrew letter shin inscribed on it that protects the parchment scroll, on which two passages from the Hebrews bible, the V'havta and the Shema Israel, were adorned.

Every time you walk through a door with a mezuzah, you touch it and kiss the fingers that touch it, showing love and respect for God.

Choshen Jewelry

This is Hebrew for the breastplate, which refers to the wearing of the breastplate by the high priest at the time of his service in the Holy Temple. The original was inlaid with blue, gold, purple and scarlet threads. It was a square, and the edges were equal to Zereth, a biblical measurement. It had 12 different precious stones in a golden background, each one inlaid with the name of one of the 12 tribes. The Thummim and Urim got behind the Choshen. The beautiful pieces of Choshen jewellery are exceptional, eye-catching and mystical. They are also perfect for those special people in your life who seem to have it all.
