Antique American Gold Amulet, Dated May 5, 1914

About the Item

This exceptional small, circular amulet, crafted in rich American gold, exudes a timeless elegance. Designed to be worn close to the heart, it features a polished ring at the top for secure attachment to a chain, allowing its wearer to carry its spiritual significance with them always. The front of the amulet is meticulously engraved with the sacred Hebrew name of God, "שדי" (Shadai), a divine name associated with protection and strength. The precision of this engraving highlights the artisan’s deep respect for the spiritual weight of this inscription. On the reverse, the amulet bears a poignant personal touch – the creation date, "May 5, 1914," gracefully etched below the rim, marking its place in history. Below the date, the original owner’s name is inscribed in an elegant, majestic script, adding a layer of intimate connection to this cherished piece. With its blend of spiritual symbolism, historical significance, and fine craftsmanship, this amulet captures the spirit of early 20th-century American Judaica, making it a rare and meaningful artifact.
