Bat Mitzvah Jewelry

What Jewish young girl didn't get excited as her bat mitzvah approached? The mere thought of all the Bat Mitzvah Jewelry she is bound to receive is probably one of the main reasons for her to be tremendously excited.

The bat mitzvah is an ancient Jewish ceremony marking the entrance of a girl into the adult Jewish world when she reaches her twelfth birthday. This occasion, once a small humble celebration, has fast become a reason for fancy parties during the past decades. Normally, the girl will address the guest with a short speech relating to the significance of the day, and perhaps more importantly, will receive many presents.

A nagging question which people who are invited to these celebrations often have about the gifts they need to bring is the obvious question – What gift is most appropriate? Often the most fitting gift is a dainty piece of jewelry, but nevertheless, with the large variety of jewelry in the jewelry market today, what is considered fine Bat Mitzvah Jewelry?

One great option is to choose gold name pendants. First, in general name jewelry of any kind is a wonderful choice as it is as personal as jewelry can be. Just seeing her own name on a pretty piece of jewelry will make her love it. These pendants are available in an endless array of designs and shapes, including heart pendants, little girl pendants, beautiful tree of life pendants, simple elegant name pendants and even fabulous kotel pendants. A kotel pendant is an amazing Bat Mitzvah gift as it is full of deep meaning, shaped like the last remnant of the second holy temple destroyed by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago. Also known as the Western Wall or the Wailing Wall, it is a place that gathers people from all over the world who come to pray and place personal notes of wishes and prayers between the ancient stones. This is sure to connect the girl to her fantastic Jewish heritage on her special day.

Another great form of Bat Mitzvah Jewelry is Jewish pendants. These gorgeous pendants are shaped like different ancient Jewish symbols such as the Star of David, Hamsa, Chai, Mezuzah, Jerusalem and more. Each of these symbols has deep meaning, often spiritual, at times even mystical. The hamsa for example is an ancient amulet which is believed to protect its owner from the evil eye. The Star of David, also a protective symbol, is probably the most popular symbol, often seen on outer walls of synagogues.

Finally, aside from handmade gold and silver jewelry, one can purchase a marvelous pair of silver candle holders. Candle holders which are used by Jewish women on every Shabbat and holiday to light the candles with are a fantastic trademark for Jewish women. In some families, each young girl who has celebrated her Bat Mitzvah starts lighting her own candles as well, making these candle holders an amazingly perfect gift for the occasion.
So the next time you are frantically looking for that wonderful gift for the party girl, a wide range of Bat Mitzvah Jewelry waits. Enjoy!
