As you may have seen lately the Kabbalah Red String has been worn by many people the world over regardless of religion. We are proud to offer one of the largest selection of Kabbalah jewelry and of course the Original Red String Kabbalah bracelet, that is the authentic Red Kabbalah String from the Kabbalah Center in Israel. We invite you to find out about the Red String technology and the story behind it.

About the Kabbalah Red String

Long ago, the ancient Kabbalah scholars revealed a powerful technology of protection. Its purpose is twofold: to protect us from the envious looks of others, and to help us eliminate feelings of jealousy and resentment in ourselves. The technology is the Red String: a strand of Red wool worn around the left wrist.

The teachings of Kabbalah do not include prohibitions or commandments. Instead, the kabbalah speak of positive and negative energies. The negative energies of jealousy and envy emanate through the eyes—which gave rise to the very vivid and very ancient term, the Evil Eye.

The Evil Eye is part of the wisdom history of all humanity. It was spoken of by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. It was written of in the Bible. It has been accorded fear and respect by kings, queens, and conquerors throughout the ages. The ancient Greek seafarers painted eyes on the prows of their ships as protection against this power. The Romans called it "Oculus Malus". To the Scots it was "Droch Shuil". Kabbalah scholars refer to it as "Ayin Harah". According to the Kabbalah, this form of negative energy can affect our lives and well-being. It can hold us back from achieving our destinies and it can also cause us to lose what we have already achieved.

How the Kabbalah Red String Works

Worn around the left wrist, the Kabbalah Red String works in the same way as the vaccines of modern medicine. When we receive a vaccination against a disease, a weakened strain of the illness is integrated into the vaccine. Spiritual immunizations are based on a similar principle. Kabbalah teaches that colors have specific frequencies and energies. Red, for example, is the color of danger. By binding a Red String to ourselves in a very specific manner, we shield ourselves against the dangerous negativity that might be directed our way, a spiritual vaccine against the destructive forces of the Evil Eye.

The color Red is one part of the technology. The rest begins in Israel, where a length of Red String is wound around the tomb of Rachel, the Matriarch of the Bible. Rachel is considered by Kabbalah scholars to be the mother of the world, and her greatest desire is to defend all of her children from evil. Throughout her life, Rachel acted as the protector of all humankind. According to Kabbalah, the burial sites of the righteous are a portal to the energy they created in their lifetimes. The Red String is brought to Rachel’s tomb where it is infused with her force of protection, for no power is stronger than a mother’s natural protective love. Each and every Red String from the Kabbalah Center must undergo this process in order to be considered an authentic form of protection against the Evil Eye.

Wearing the Kabbalah Red String

The Red String is individually sized and worn around the left wrist. The left side of the body has been identified by Kabbalah scholars as the area where energy enters. The left arm and hand pertain to the concept of receiving; the right arm and hand embody the power of imparting. Negative forces, therefore, enter the body through the left side. By wearing the Red String on the left wrist, negative energies are intercepted at the precise point of entry. The string is tied in a carefully prescribed sequence of seven knots, each of which symbolizes a separate spiritual dimension that infuses our reality.

Have someone you love and trust tie the Red String to your left wrist. First, have them tie the string closely around your wrist with a simple knot. Repeat by knotting the string six more times for a total of seven knots. Now make a promise to yourself that you will refrain from negative thoughts or talk about others. This harmful behavior will interfere with your effort to gain personal fulfillment and protection. Then have the person finish by saying the Ben Porat Prayer (read from right to left) which prevents others from giving us the evil eye.

Kabbalah Jewelry and The Red String Bracelets

A lot of attention is being given these days to the study of the Kabbalah, that mystical segment of Jewish studies that is supposed to give explanations as to the relationship between the spiritual and the physical; or between the realm of Heaven and the physical realm of Man on earth.

Along with the books and other material available to those who try to undertake Kabbalah studies with a group or on their own, a considerable amount of charms, amulets and other items are being marketed as Kabbalah Amulets and Charms. These items vary in design as well as cost, with some of them being quite expensive if made of gold and incorporating precious and semi-precious stones.

The validity of these items is still debated, as many Kabbalah scholars say that jewelry items of any kind, even with so-called religious significance, are forbidden by Jewish law. Forbidden or not, the popularity of these charms is well known as many of them are alleged to bring the wearer good health as well as happiness and prosperity.

Designs for these charms are varied and can be extremely simple, such as the well known Kabbalah Red String which is in reality a braided red string with perhaps a small charm such as a Hamsa Hand or Heart included. Many types of jewelry said to be derived from Kabbalah names are said to give protection against evil, otherwise known as the Evil Eye. These charms may include a Hamsa Amulets (palm) known as a Chamsa in Hebrew (Five), with the watchful eye design in the center. The Five fingers amulet in some Jewish teachings are to symbolize the five books of the Torah, Judaism's most sacred book of laws. The eye in the middle is the 'All Seeing Eye' or Eye of the Almighty, said to be always on the lookout against the forces of evil.

Wearing Amulets and Charms derived from the symbols of the Kabbalah is becoming more and more popular, and many famous personalities and movie stars are wearing them with the hope of obtaining benefits from their powers. As to whether or not these items are really beneficial, that is up to the opinion of those who wear them. As some modern biblical and Kabbalah scholars are saying; "it they make you feel better, then why not wear them?"

Brass has a similar appearance to gold and is an alternative for those who cannot afford expensive jewelry. However, brass jewelry does entail some extra care and responsibilities. Like silver, never get your brass jewelry wet and be sure to wipe away any traces of water that makes contact with the surface. Even a bit of moisture can cause a brown patina to form though this is not necessarily a bad thing if that is the type of look you prefer.

Even with stringent care, most brass jewelry will eventually show signs of tarnish over time. Even if you keep it dry, it can still absorb moisture from air and from your sweat. However, you can restore its original look by using a polish cloth or steel wool, which is available at any hardware store.

You can also gently clean the brass with a toothbrush. To get a deeper clean, you can create a cleaning agent using a mixture of baking soda, lemon juice and warm water. This is the only time it is acceptable to expose the jewelry to liquids. Be sure the brass is completely dried afterwards.

It also helps to know if your brass jewelry is lacquered. This is a polymer coating that protects the surface from tarnishing. If the brass is lacquered and still shows signs of tarnish, then the coating has likely worn off and air moisture is leaking into the brass. If this is the case, then you can take the jewelry to a professional to have the existing coating stripped and reapplied.

When not in use, store the jewelry in an anti-tarnish bag; be sure to completely remove the air from the bag before sealing it.

Brass jewelry is among the finest when it comes to design and affordability. With just a little maintenance, you can retain its natural appearance and prevent tarnishing and visible scratches.

Silver is an element commonly found in jewelry. Most jewelry made from silver contain sterling alloy, which is a mixture of silver combined with other types of metals to make the material more durable. If you own expensive silver jewelry, then you will need to meticulously care for the pieces to keep it shining and in good condition.

When the jewelry is not in use, be sure to keep them in an anti-tarnish cloth or bag. This is a napped cloth flannel that absorbs chemicals and gasses in the air that can cause silver tarnishing. Do not wash or get the cloth wet as this will cause it to lose its effectiveness.

When it comes to cleaning, using a polishing cloth is a good idea. There are some recommendations swirling on the Web that toothpaste is a great product for cleaning sterling silver. However, just because toothpaste cleans your teeth does not mean it is an effective cleaning agent for jewelry. Toothpaste is abrasive and can cause scratches.

If you use your jewelry often, it may begin to develop a patina. These are darkened areas on the jewelry surface accompanied by a glow. Some people actually like this look and if this is the case, then by all means leave it as it is. However, if you wish to restore the silver back to its original look, then use a polish cloth. Never wipe the jewelry with a paper towel as it contains fibers that can also scratch the surface.

The less often you wear the jewelry the better. If you must wear it, then be sure it is the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you remove at night. Never leave it on when entering the shower or when going to bed.

With the right care, your jewelry should retain its glossy shine and remain tarnish and scratch-free for years to come.

Jewelry Gift Ideas for Easter

Jewelry is the perfect gift for someone you hold dear. About a month before the Easter holidays, it’s time to start thinking of gifts for the special people in your life. Although the Easter holiday is primarily a Christian Holiday, it holds great significance for both Christians and non-Christians alike.

To Christians, the holiday is a celebration of salvation. A celebration of hope realized in the resurrection of the Savior of the world. To non-Christians it is an opportunity to spend time with family and friends. A chance to take a break from everyday life and just sit back and enjoy the company of those we love. It is an opportunity for all people who celebrate the holiday to express their feelings to the people they hold dear.

One of the best ways to express your feelings of affection is through jewelry. Since it is the Easter holiday, your gift would be even more special if it were jewelry specially designed for the occasion.

A crucifix is a great idea for both Christian and non-Christian friends or family. Christians wear the crucifix as a symbol of their devotion and a proclamation of their faith and religious beliefs. The crucifix is also fashionable amongst non-Christians as a fashion accessory.

There are various styles of the crucifix, from the more decorative crucifix to the simple crucifix. They are also made from a wide variety of materials. These include wood, copper, gold, silver and marble. It would be a good idea to find out the personal preferences of the person you plan to surprise to ensure that the gift is fitting.

Saints are venerated by both Christians and non-Christians. People are fascinated by the exemplary lives of the saints and the traditions that surround them. Many people, Christian and non-Christian, wear medals and charms with symbols of saints on them for protection or as a sign of devotion to the cause the saint represents. A saint medal makes a great gift for Easter. Medals come in all shapes and sizes. They can be incorporated in charm bracelets or as the center piece of a necklace. They can also be made up as earrings. This is a versatile gift.

Easter bunny bracelets and earrings are a great gift for young children. There are also bracelets that incorporate the story of the life of Jesus Christ while on earth. Others tell the story of Easter i.e. the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

There are many jewelry pieces to choose from when selecting a gift for Easter. It is important that you investigate the personal preferences and beliefs of the people you plan to surprise with jewelry to ensure that the gift is well appreciated.

Jewish Star of David Gifts & Jewelry

The six pointed Star of David, Judaism and Israel's distinctive symbol, has also had a significant usage as an art symbol. Whether it be paintings, sculpture, or in a myriad of jewelry designs, the 'Star' (also called Magen David or Shield of David) is commonly used in various art all over the Jewish world.

Originating in decorative frescos in Jewish houses of worship, including beautiful ornate stained glass windows, the Star of David can be found in paintings by famous international artists, including Marc Chagall, Samuel Bak, and Michael David, are well known in international art exhibitions. Many paintings were also made during and after the Holocaust, depicting Jews and Jewish property marked with the notorious yellow Star of David is a sad reminder of a very dark period in Jewish history.

In both Jewish religious art, and in Jewish jewelry, the Star is also made in a variety of forms, and artistic designs are only limited to the artist's imagination. From more traditional forms of single drop pendants in gold and silver as noted here, to modern and even elaborate creations, using a variety of materials Including diamonds and other precious stones and coins and medallions, art forms for the Star appear to be unlimited. Those who are interested in mysticism, including studying the occult and the Kabbalah, a very popular pastime nowadays, finding jewelry and other kinds of art based on this symbol is very easy, especially on the Internet. Along with Kabbalah jewelry, related art forms using what is known as Solomon's Seal and the Shield of David are also sought after by many.

Tourists visiting the State of Israel can find a wealth of jewelry and artwork of all forms using the Star of David, as well as other symbols, including the Hebrew word "Chai", meaning Life. Jewelry and souvenir shops abound all over Israel, especially in the larger cities such as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Besides the rich selection of jewelry incorporating this well known symbol, a large collection of Jewish religious and ceremonial items made from silver and other metals, as well as decorative glass and ceramic ware is also available on online shopping sites, such as EBay, and websites specializing in Judaica and religious oriented items and giftware.

Citrine Quartz Jewelry

Citrine gemstones come from the Quartz family and are also known as gold or Spanish Topaz. Like all members of the quartz family, Citrines have hardness of 7 on Moh's scale of mineral hardness, one category less than the Beryl group which composes precious gemstones such as Aquamarine, Emerald and Ruby. The knowledge of use of this lemon yellow colored mineral (hence the name Citrine) has been for at least 2.000 years; and like Topaz, Garnets, and other Quartz stones, is a common component of fashion and other types of jewelry, where it is faceted and mounted into broaches, pendants, rings, and earrings.

Because of its unique color, Citrine is often worn in fashion accessory jewelry during the Autumn season, and is the most common birthstone for the month of November. The mineral is historically found in commercial quantities in Spain, France, parts of Scotland, and also in Germany and Hungary. More recently, it has also been mined in Brazil and Uruguay.

Although some forms of Topaz stones are similar to Citrine, the unique fiery yellow refractive features of Citrine set it apart in its captivating beauty, and finely cut, unblemished stone can cost much more than other kinds of quartz derived gems. Citrine is a "delicate" stone when it comes to cleaving and polishing it, however, so great care must be made by the cutter to ensure the stone's qualities are not damaged during processing.


Citrine is a stone that holds the strong energy of Willpower. Filled with sun energy, it also helps lift the spirits by promoting a happy disposition. In addition, Citrine is a gemstone of abundance and creativity. Spiritually, Citrine encourages individuality, self-confidence and courage. It is believed to help overcome depression and free people from oppressive influences, allows them to be courageous and able to express themselves.

Citrine gemstones, whether rough or polished, can be found in mineral and unique gift shops, and jewelry composed of these stones are commonly found in jewelry shops, as well as accessory jewelry departments of higher quality stores.

Murano Glass In Handmade Jewelry

Murano is an island in the Venitian lagoon, it lies about a mile north of Venice and is famous for its glass making and particularly lampworking. Murano was settled by the Romans, then from the sixth century by people from Altino and Oderzo. First the island prospered as a fishing port, and a center for trade, from the 11th century, it began to decline as islanders moved to Dorsoduro, in 1291 all the glassmakers in Venice were forced to move to Murano due to the risk of fires. In the following century, exports began, and the island became famous, first for glass beads and mirrors, "aventurine glass" was invented on the island, and for a while murano was the main producer of glass in Europe.

The island later became known for chandeliers, although decline set in during the 18th century. Glassmaking is still the island's main industry. Stained glass and glass blowing were extensively developed in Egypt and Assyria and was brought to the fore by the Romans, and had its greatest days in European Cathedral building in stained glass-rose-windows.

Murano Glass has not kept pace with production, but is still home to more glass masters than any other single place on earth. The Venetian glass is a type of glass made in Venice (murano) Italy, world renowned for being colorful, elaborate and skillfully made, many of the important characteristics of these objects had been developed by the 13th century.

When the Venetian glass industry moved to murano, Byzantine craftsmen played a role in the development of Venetian glass, an art for which the city is well-known for. By the 16th century Venetian artisans had gained even greater control over the color and transparency of their glass, and had mastered a variety of decorative techniques. Despite efforts to keep Venetian glassmaking techniques within Venice, they became known elsewhere, and Venetian-style glassware was produced in other Italian cities and other countries of Europe.

Over the years Murano Glass beads have been used in a wide variety of handmade jewelry, some of which can be seen at the Handmade Jewelry section at MostOriginal.com.
