...With this in mind, the popular MIZPAH talismans were created - often decorated with the English quote of Jacob’s and Laban’s words in the book of Genesis, Ch. 31 : MIZPAH - the Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another.

Not only lovers - friends and relatives, too, would endow each other with traditional MIZPAH jewellery as lucky charms and protective amulets. In the 19th century these romantic gems were often decorated with tendrils of clinging ivy, symbolizing deep affection and overcoming obstacles, no matter how difficult they may be.

Just like MIZPAH, the clinging ivy, too, is a symbol of hope.

MIZPAH stands for the triumph of emotional belief over distance, time and circumstances, and as a reminder of the everlasting presence of humane values and - that someone really cares.

MIZPAH - the legendary symbol of hope and affection is now here to stay. Welcome to The MIZPAH Collection - a new and enchanting collection of tokens of affection.
