Ruby Heart Bangle Bracelet with Black Enamel, Victorian Style by J Dauphin
The Ruby Heart Bangle by J Dauphin draws on the sacred language of Victorian Revival jewelry and the spiritual symbolism of the heart in Torah and Kabbalah. Crafted in 14k gold-plated brass and hand-painted with black enamel, the bracelet features a dangling heart charm set with a ruby—a symbol of devotion, strength, and divine fire.
Engraved with the inscription “Purify your heart and the infinite light will dwell within,” this piece speaks to one of the deepest mystical truths: that the heart must be refined to receive divine presence.
In the Book of Psalms, King David prays, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalms 51:12). This eternal plea reveals that purification of the heart opens the soul to the indwelling of divine light. Likewise, the Torah teaches, “And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell within them” (Exodus 25:8)—not merely among them, but within them, in the heart of each being.
In Kabbalistic tradition, this indwelling light is the Shekhinah, the Infinite Presence that can only dwell in a vessel of purity, humility, and compassion. The Zohar teaches that the purified heart becomes a throne for divine light, radiating illumination into the world.
The ruby, long revered as a stone of fire and courage, represents the inner flame of the soul—its passion for truth and longing for union with its Source. In Jewish mysticism, red corresponds to Gevurah, the strength to overcome illusion and refine the self through love and discipline.
Wearing this bracelet becomes a spiritual reminder: to purify the heart, to open oneself to divine indwelling, and to walk through the world as a bearer of light.
