ORIGINAL
MOBIUS JEWELRY FROM DVBNY. MADE IN THE USA!
Considered the
most important prayer in Judaism, it is both an affirmation of
faith and a declaration of belief in one G-d.
The entire
Shema (or sh'ma) consists of the daily prayers that commences with
Shema Yisrael and comprises Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11:13-21, and
Numbers 15:37-41.
This unusual
pendant has been finely engraved with the first line of the
V'ahavta (Deuteronomy 6:5), from the first portion of the prayer.
The two letters ayin E and dalet D are enlarged in the first
sentence, together form the word eid, meaning witness, a testament
to the sovereignty of God.
In English:
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I
command you today shall be in your heart. And you shall teach them
diligently to your children, and you shall speak of them when you
sit at home, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down
and when you rise up. And you shall bind them as a sign on your
hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And you
shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your
gates.
This
extraordinary necklace moves the tradition of poesy jewelry into
the twenty first centruy, in its sophisticated form and highly
technical degree of craftsmanship. The geometric shape of the
pendant is known as a Mobius strip, after the German mathematician
August Ferdinand Mobius. It represents the seeming paradox of a
plane without end, or one of infinite length. As such it became an
accepted mathematical symbol for infinity. The circlet will move
about the chain when worn, constantly changing its appearance.
Creating one shape, then another. The more one observes its seeming
simplicity, the more complex it becomes. The message remains
constant, the form never rests. All are craftman made.
Each piece is
accompanied by a storycard explaining the history or derivation of
the inscription. Chain: 18" [46mm] sterling cable chain.
