Cuff Bracelet - Priestly Blessing

Description

Sterling cuff bracelet with personalized hand inscriptions. Bracelet pictured is sold, showing the Biblical verse from the book of Numbers 6:24-26

'May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord make his face shine upon you;
and be gracious to you;
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
and give you peace.'

This is the oldest known Biblical text that has been found; amulets with these verses written on them have been found in graves in dating from the First Temple Period, and are now in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.

Nowadays, this blessing is often recited by the parent to the children, or by the rabbi to the boy or girl becoming a b'nai mitzvah.

This bracelet can be polished to a highly reflective finish or a brushed matte finish. I hand-carved these inscriptions into the silver and then darkened with a patina for readability. These words are not stamped so that the silver surface is not 'wrinkled'.

Cuff edges are folded back for extra reinforcement.
Almost 7/8 inch wide. Fits most wrists but also allows for slight adjustments.

Makes great keepsake gift for women or men. I will need up to 7 days to create this exquisite piece for you.
