This rare pendant is a stunning work of art! Masterfully crafted from 9K gold, its beautifully shaped as a cluster of grapes, one of the 7 species that the Land of Israel was blessed with, and a symbol of abundance and fertility. The grapes are represented by 12 exquisite gemstones, alluding to the Choshen (Priestly breastplate) worn by the High Priest in the Holy Temple, which contained 12 stones, one for each tribe.

In addition, it is inscribed with Ben Porat Yosef. Ben Porat Yosef Alei Ayin (“Yosef is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a fountain" Genesis 49:22), a Biblical verse which was part of Jacob's blessing to his son Yosef. In Jewish tradition, Yosef is considered righteous, and so it has become common custom to use his name as a virtue (segula) for protection and blessing.

Light, delicate, beautiful and spiritual, this pendant makes a wonderful gift for women of all ages.

This item comes with a lovely gold filled chain.

The Hoshen Mishpat was the breastplate worn by the Jewish High Priest in the days of Jerusalem’s Holy Temple.

Today, the elegant design of the Hoshen makes a beautiful decorative motif throughout Jewish art and jewelry.
