has its origins from the Judaic and Israeli cultures, and it has different meanings and purposes for the Jewish people. Each piece, be it a pendant, talisman, amulet, necklace, bracelet or ring, holds a symbolic meaning and deep intention to bring blessings and charm into your life.   Kabbalah considers Jewish prayers for success, good luck, security, health, wealth, protection and guidance, so the jewels are integrated with sentences from it. They therefore make excellent gifts for family and friends since they symbolize your good wishes for them and theirs.

Coincidentally, the term also means receiving, which refers to receiving the truths behind Jewish traditions. It’s a mystical representation and interpretation of the Old Testament, that reveals the message of God to the world.  The adornments have a wide range, and one among them is the silver ring, made with five metals to give success to whoever wears it. The Ana Bekoach ring is used as a powerful success symbol, courage and protection. The Tree of Life pendant is a symbol of life, unity and love, its trunk, branches and leaves each holding a different meaning.  A Message to your Beloved When gifting someone you love, you can choose something with a personal meaning to them to show that you wish them love, hope, prosperity, and well-being. There is a deep belief that this jewelry can impact an individual’s life positively. By harnessing the power of spiritual ornamentation, it brings those wearing it good tidings and blessings.

The Merkaba Pendant itself symbolizes healing and protection for a healthy, loving and balanced life. It gives the potential to create our desired reality. The Abundance Pendant is sacred, symbolizing creating abundance by using the power of good. The Ka Earring with Zircons is meant to empower its wearer with creativity, fertility and an increase in life forces. Another piece of jewelry in its range is the Key of Success. This is the Jewish symbol for good luck and success, so imagine how thoughtful it would be to give a loved one this right before a big pitch.

What is Kabbalah?

Kabbalah refers to the ancient mystical teachings which were passed down together with the Torah. It translates to “that which is received.” In order to receive the esoteric wisdom found in Kabbalah one must negate their own ego and submit to the will of G-d. There are three types of Kabbalah: Theoretical, Meditative, and Mystic. The latter two categories have been largely lost over the years; what’s taught today is the cryptic theoretical Kabbalah found in the Zohar. However there are bits and pieces of meditative and mystic Kabbalah still to be found in the world and many of our Kabbalah jewelry items incorporate this magic.

Kabbalistic Words and Symbols

Ana Bekoach
Said to have immense spiritual strength, Ana Bekoach is a well-known liturgical poem whose authorship is attributed to the tanna Rabbi Nehunya ben HaKanah who lived in the Middle Ages. The prayer contains 42 words, the first letter of each combines to form the 42 letter Divine Name of G-d. Ana Bekoach is so powerful, it is said to be able to alter the flow of reality, to achieve your wildest dreams.

Ben Porat Yosef
The full phrase, “Ben Porat Yosef, Ben Porat Alei Ayin” (A graceful son is Yosef, a graceful son by a spring) was a blessing given to Josef by his father, Jacob, right before his death (Genesis 49:22). It is brought down in Kabbalah that this blessing contained the power to protect Yosef (and all his descendants) from the jealousy of others—the “Evil Eye.”

Evil Eye
The power of the Evil Eye comes from the envy and ill-wishes of others. When a person looks at the good fortune of others with jealousy, they give G-d reason to reevaluate—did this person really deserve the good fortune they received? Are they being too showy and boastful? In this way the Evil Eye has been cast. There are many talismans used to ward off the Evil Eye and keep the jealousy of others at bay. These talismans include “Good Eye” jewelry, Hamsas, and red strings, among others.

Hamsa
The Arabic word for “five,” Hamsas are a symmetrical hand-shaped amulet popular in Muslim and Jewish cultures. In Kabbalah, the Hamsa symbolizes the hand of Miriam who protected her brother Moses from harm. It is often inscribed with different Kabbalistic symbols and prayers used to bring peace and ward off evil.

Merkabah Star of David
The word merkabah means chariot, and refers to the metaphorical throne-chariot of G-d allegorically said to be driven by four wild animals (Ezekiel 1:4-26). In Kabbalah the merkabah is an esoteric means of travel between spiritual dimensions. When used in a physical form the merkabah takes the shape of a three-dimensional Star of David comprised of two interlocked pyramids. This shape contains an intense spiritual force of attraction to attract your hearts’ desires.

Tree of Life
The tree of life has many meanings, however in Kabbalah it refers to the formation of the Sefirot which resemble a tree. The Sefirot are the heavenly emanations of G-d, through which we relate to Him and emulate Him. In English they are: Crown, Understanding, Wisdom, Knowledge, Strength, Kindness, Harmony, Glory, Victory, Foundation, and Kingship. To truly understand these Sefirot, one must dive into the deepest esoteric mysteries of the universe and be willing to completely subjugate oneself to the Will of G-d.

72 Divine Names of G-d
The Kabbalah lists 72 Names of G-d, each one comprised of three letters with its own unique power. These names were taken from three verses in the Torah, each verse comprised of 72 letters (Exodus 14:19-21). These verses describe the manifestation of G-d’s unlimited power as He split the Sea of Reeds. This miracle showed the world not only G-d’s power, but His intimate interest in mankind as well. Each of the divine three-letter names has a unique ability to bring about positive change in your life.
