Another favorite Christian seal is the fish. This seal dates back to the first century and became a way of identifying other Christians, particularly when they were being persecuted. But it was risky to speak openly about their faith. Back then, they would draw the fish seal in the dirt to let others know. Today, Christians proudly wear their fish religious jewelry to let everyone know their faith.
Other favorite Christian garnish items are the praying hands pendant, Saints medallions and the dove of peace charm. Any of these worn in gold or silver makes a great gift for a baptism, christening or confirmation.
Another customary seal is the Star of David. This is the equivalent of the cross for the Jewish faith. This star is a six-pointed hexagram that was supposedly emblazoned on King David's shield or his shield held that shape. Whether way, it is a very prominent seal in Judaism and Star of David jewelry is a common gift to teens when they transition to adulthood.
Another common seal found in Jewish jewelry is the mezuzah. Commonly worn as a pendant, a mezuzah is a cylindrical object that is used to hold special words and scriptures on parchment scrolls. These make gorgeous pendants or even a charm for a bracelet. The Chai seal is another favorite charm for necklaces and bracelets. It is the Hebrew word for "living".
* Why Wear These Symbols?
There are about as many reasons why person wears religious jewelry as there are types of jewelry. First of all, it is a statement of faith. Wearing Christian, Jewish jewelry or any other religious item is a way to retort and let others know what the wearer believes in. Aside from just displaying faith, some pieces are worn for protection.
There are many Saints who supposedly look over the person who wears a medallion with their image. The cross has long been seen as a weapon against evil (think vampires!).
However, it does not always mean a trust in something. There have been times where it has been trendy to be seen wearing a large ornate cross on a long chain. If Hollywood is wearing it, fashion jewelers get affordable pieces out to the social so they can emulate them. Whatever reason, these pieces speak volumes about faith and fashion.
