Shekel Sterling Silver Cuff Links

Purchase Shekel Sterling Silver Cuff Links

Shekel Jewelry - adapted from a coin in the collection of the Jewish Museum, NY. In 66 CE(Common Era in liu of AD), the Jews rebelled against Roman rule and began to mint their own coins, called shekels, as a sign of their independance. The coins mounted in this jewelry were cast from a half-shekel in The Jewish Museum collection which dates to the first year of the revolt. The imagery and inscriptions are entirely Jewish in nature: a chalice with an ancient Hebrew inscription denoting the date and denomination; and a branch with pomegranates, one of the Seven Species of Israel, surrounded by the inscription, 'Holy Jerusalem'. Each cuff is made from .925 sterling and measures 4/5" wide.
