Jewelry for Lovers
The Bible has many lessons in romance. One verse has been transformed through the ages into a token of affection worn by lovers the world over -- the Mizpah.
Jacob worked for 14 years before he finally won the hand of his beloved Rachel. Their story is told in the book of Genesis. Taken from the Hebrew, verse XXXI:49 translates: "The Lord watch between thee and me while we are apart from each other."
The mizpah pendant, usually rendered in precious gold, has these words etched into its face and is separated into two pieces, one for each of the parted lovers to wear. The touching sentiment transcends religion, and makes a wondrous gift to tell the world you're thinking about each other when you're apart.
One site that offers a selection of mizpahs is Jewelria. You can find the pendants in both sterling silver and 14-karat gold. Most are in the shape of broken hearts. Prices range from $12.99 to $141.99.
