925 Sterling Silver
Size of pendant: 0.3" X 1.4" / 0.8 X 3.6 cm
The mezuzah, used for millennia on the doorposts of Jewish homes, has in recent years become a popular template for decorative pendants. This unique necklace features a miniature mezuzah pendant inscribed with all 72 holy names of God.
The concept is based on the Hebrew text of Exodus 14:19-21. The set of verses is the basis for an ancient Kabbalistic formula, whereby it rearranges into 72 three-letter words, each representing one of Hashem's holy names.
Each name is intended to give a different variety of protection or success to the wearer. For example, Heh - Heh - Ayin is said to be a segula (charm) for true love, Mem - Heh - Shin is said to offer the wearer healing and protection against disease, and Aleph - Lamed - Dalet is said to offer the wearer protection against the evil eye.
The pendant can be opened to hold a small keepsake of your choosing.
This necklace is suitable for a man or woman.
Comes with a superb sterling silver chain in your choice of length.
