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.
G-d actually commanded us to put just the actual (klaf) parchment on the doorpost but since there is another mitzvah of beautifying the commandments (mitzvoth), there is an idea of creating a special case for mezuzah which is a glory it's self.
In addition, the case protects the mezuzah from water, heat and cold and any other weather damage possible. The road from this idea to the wide range of cases available today was very short.
The Mezuzah (mezuzot in plural) is also used as a charm for good luck and safe life in the form of Mezuzah pendants. These pendants, available in many variations, are designed in the shape of a Mezuzah case and worn on the neck as a nice pendant.
Filigree and Yemenite work are the most amazing designs since they are unique and inspired by historical antique look. great pieces of jewelry.
Another magnificent style of Mezuzah Pendants is the creatively designed modern handcrafted 14k gold Jerusalem Mezuzah pendant, featuring a fantastic combination of a matt yellow gold cylinder, with a beautiful Jerusalem motif band of white gold encircling the bottom. Jewish jewelry is the unique way to adorn oneself in addition to supporting the Jewish state.
