The Victorians turned a biblical verse from the Old Testament into a sentiment, a gift and a fabulously thoughtful piece of jewellery. The word "MIZPAH" originates from the Hebrew for "watchtower" and it is mentioned in the bible in Genesis, "May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other." This fabulous vintage pair of pendants is designed to be split to be worn by two people who are separated by life, and distance but not in their hearts. I already have mizpah tokens ready for my children for when they leave home - to know I am always with them as they spread their wings.

FAQ
Sizing
What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.
We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
