This mizpah jewel and original box is the perfect addition to any jewellery lovers collection. A rare style brooch which is becoming increasingly difficult to source, we adore the message behind the piece as well as their beauty as a stand alone jewel.
The term ‘Mizpah is found in Genesis 31:49, it means ‘watchtower and is used as a prayer, meaning “May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other. The Victorian era was filled with symbols and declarations of love and remembrance.
This brooch is a wonderful historical jewel that epitomises the Victorian style. Gothic boarder surround the bold letters at the centre giving the entire piece an eye catching feel. This also has the added rarity that it comes with the original box. Victorian jewellery boxes such as these are as sort after, and sometimes more, than the jewels they hold within. This is a lovely example in itself.
Usually given as a token of love between lovers, friends or family, this piece would be beautiful gesture of a gift. It would also amazing a gorgeous choice if an unusual and unique antique wedding band filled with history
