Passover, time to remove the negatives

Saturday, April 4, 2009

It's not just time to think about Easter, it's also time to think about Passover. Growing up in a Catholic family I freely admit I didn't give Passover much thought in previous years. However, during the last few years I have paid attention, because my brother is dating a lovely gal who does celebrate Passover.

So I wanted to make sure we have some Passover gift ideas out on the floor.

In this photo you see a gorgeous silver necklace with sentimental charms. A sterling silver pendant and necklace hold the Star of David, a black pearl with swarovski crystal, and raw emeralds.

According to legend, the emerald has the power to protect the chastity of the wearer and to ward off evil spirits. In Jewish literature Simeon wore an emerald breastplate. But if you want to swap, the jewelry designer says it has easy access to switch and change gemstones to go with whatever you want.

If necklaces won't work there are also some beautiful earrings you can find which express your faith as well. Like the Haggadah Seder Passover earrings green and white Bali Sterling silver found in Rachel Treasures' Etsy shop.

Seeing as how I am not really much of a jewelry gal, I also like looking at other items which would help express a specific meaning. So looking through Agru's Etsy shop I came across this Matzoh Plate. It is a lovely stoneware plate with the Hebrew word "Matzoh" on it.

Of all the beautiful Passover gifts I stumbled across, this clock is my favorite. The clock is actually made from an old Passover plate, with ancient words from the Bible, describing foods eaten at Passover. The crafter did some tinkering and added hands along with a clock mechanism. Wah-la!

I think it is stunning. Even as a person who does not celebrate Passover, I find this clock to be quite alluring. Something about it almost seems magical.

Happy Passover!
