Jerusalem Jewelry

Jerusalem Jewelry is perhaps one of the most extraordinary types of Jewish jewelry today. Think about it, no other city in this world has its own line of jewelry. These special jewelry pieces actually include all types of jewelry, from necklaces and bracelets to cufflinks and tallit clips. So why is Jerusalem such a special city?

First, a little history

Jerusalem is a city over 3,000 years old, the center of Jewish life and the ancient capital of the Jewish people. It is the place where the world was created from, where the sacrifice of Isaac took place, where King David ruled and where the two holy temples stood. After the Jews were deported from Israel following the destruction of the second temple, many nations fought to have control over the city. Jerusalem has seen empires rise, conquer it and then fall. Until finally, after nearly 2,000 years of exile, the Jews returned home, built the state of Israel and made Jerusalem its capital. In 1967, the old city was reunited with the modern Jerusalem, thus giving all Jews the ability to pray by the western wall - the last remnant of the holy second temple.

Types of Jerusalem Jewelry

After reading this, it is not too hard to understand why such a city, which is considered to be the most beautiful city in the world, will be depicted in jewelry pieces. One of the most famous forms of Jerusalem jewelry is Kotel jewelry. These are pieces which are decorated with the Western Wall. They can be found mainly in gold or silver name jewelry pieces including gold name pendants, rings, tallit clips and even cufflinks.

These are many other pieces which are decorated with the Jerusalem unique skyline; some so intricate you can actually notice the special Jerusalem stone. There are also 3D pieces, which truly give the feeling of seeing Jerusalem in the Jewelry piece. You can even find pieces which are embedded with precious stones such as rubies, garnets and diamonds all of which add color and life to the jewel.

Another fabulous form of Jerusalem Jewelry is Jewish pendants. These are all pendants shaped like different symbols in Judaism such as Star of David and Hamsa. When combined with a Jerusalem decoration, they are truly magnificent, bursting with deep meaning. To make them absolutely stunning, some of these pendants are decorated with ancient authentic Roman Glass. It truly doesn't get any better than this. The Roman Glass is an ancient glass from the time of the second temple, and when combined with Jerusalem, it is beyond beautiful.
