This unique pendant, made from Sterling silver and 9 K gold, provides protection from the negative influences of the evil eye.
In Jewish tradition, fish is strongly associated with prosperity and abundance. In the Book of Genesis, the fish were blessed with thriving in infinite quantities and so it became a symbol of fertility. Fish are linked to another special quality: as fish live in the water, they cannot harmed by the envious stare and ill will. The fish, thus, is believed to fight the evil eye and negative energies
The fish symbol bears a strong association with Biblical Joseph. "Ben Porat Yosef Alei Ayne" is a portion of Jacob's blessing to his sons, from the Book of Genesis.
In Jacob's blessings to his sons, Jacob calls his youngest son Joseph "Ben Porat Yosef" as he blesses his name, which means a fruitful or abundant son (Genesis, 49:42). In Jewish tradition, Joseph is considered righteous and virtuous, and so it has become common custom to use his name as a virtue against evil eye to provide blessing and protection.
The gold part is engraved with the combination of Alef-Lamed-Dalet, one of the 72 names of God, which is believed to ward off the evil eye.
This pendant of multiple symbolic meanings provides blessing and protection to its bearer. |
