Jerusalem Jewelry
Jerusalem jewelry is one of my personal favorites when it comes to Jewish jewelry. When I look at such a piece, I don't only see beautiful and unique jewelry pieces; what I see is the deeper meaning of wearing Jerusalem.

Talit Clips
Do you know that feeling when you're praying on Shabbat, and in the middle of the synagogue your talit (prayer shawl) falls off? That's the exact reason why you need talit clips.
These items are not only beautiful; they're extremely practical as well. Placing them on your talit will guarantee you can concentrate on your praying like you're meant to do.

Gold Name Pendants
Gold name pendants are a great form of gold name jewelry today. The wide range of designs and shapes is enormous. You can find pendants with Jewish motifs such as Star of David, Hai, Kotel (Western Wall), Jerusalem, Mezuzah and more. What's amazing about these name Jewish pendants is that aside from being beautiful, they are full of meaning as well. In Judaism, the name of an individual is very important and has an effect on his life.
Silver Kiddush Cups
Silver Kiddush cups have always been a famous trademark for Jewish life. Many Jewish people who are non observant still maintain this long lasting tradition of sanctifying the Sabbath and holidays. In many families there are ancient cups passed on from generation to generation, silently telling the story of the Jewish people.

The most famous one is known as the "African diamond", also known as the "blood diamonds" or "conflict diamonds".

Bar Mitzvah Jewelry
Giving Bar Mitzvah jewelry to a thirteen year old young boy celebrating his Bar Mitzvah is becoming more and more popular. If once it was normal to give Judaica books, today, many other options are available.
Perhaps one of the most fitting gift is a pair of tallit clips. As many Jews are accustomed to give a boy his first talit at his Bar Mitzvah, the tallit clips are extremely necessary. Today, many stores offer wonderful personalized clips, which make this gift even more amazing.

The variety of handmade silver bracelets today is great. So how do you choose which bracelet to buy? Apart from personal taste which obviously is the most important factor, there are other components which one should take into consideration, such as the lock of the bracelet, the weight of the bracelet and the strength of the links which make up the bracelet.

Gold Wedding Rings
When referring to gold wedding rings, the Jewish tradition states that the groom should sanctify the bride with a simple round ring, bought with his own money. When acquiring the ring two witnesses should be present with the future husband, confirming that the wedding ring was bought only with the husband's money and it was paid in full.
Jewish wedding rings should be made of one material (yellow or white gold or silver) without mixing materials. In addition, it should be clean of any precious stones or diamonds. According to the Jewish sources, the reason for this is so the bride will not be stunned by the beauty of the ring, making its beauty the main issue. Rather, the main objective should always be the act of the marriage.

Bat Mitzvah Jewelry
Let's be honest. For a Jewish girl reaching her twelfth year, the most exciting thing is the Bat Mitzvah jewelry she will receive. I know, people are probably thinking that the meaning of the day is most important, the entrance into the adult Jewish world, the acceptance of the commandments. This is all very true but very far from reality for many young girls.

Mezuzah Pendants
Mezuzah pendants are a great form of Jewish jewelry, yet not everyone knows what the meaning of the mezuzah actually is.
A Mezuzah is one of the most known Jewish commandment. It can usually be found on every Jewish doorpost, designated to guard ones home. This following the word of G-d who commanded the Jewish people to hang a parchment with two paragraphs of the bible written by a qualified Jewish scribe.

Hamsa Pendants
A part of the growing trend of spirituality is the reborn interest in kabalistic symbols such as the Hamsa. This amulet, although often seen as decorative plaques on the walls, is most popular in the form of hamsa pendants.
The hamsa is an amulet which is believed to have protecting powers over the person who wears it or hangs it in his home against all evil, in particular against the evil eye.
