What are sensual jewelry? Biblical symbol that lives and affects to this day
Silver Hoshen jewels occupy a special place in the world of Jewish art and Judaica art. They draw direct inspiration from the sensuality of the high priest, as described in the parsha of Tzadva in the book of Exodus (chapter 28:21). The original breastplate was a key part of the priestly garments, a sacred garment that served as a tool for divine guidance through Urim and Thumim – two special stones that gave answers to the questions of the people.
Nowadays, modern chashen jewelry is a work of art that preserves this symbolism: pendants, bracelets and earrings with 12 stones, each representing a tribe from Israel. They are not only beautiful – they remind us of the eternal connection between the individual and the people, between man and God. Find out the full selection atChoshen Jewelry Category , which includes dozens of products embedded with colored crystals representing the 12 tribes.
History of the breastplate – from the stories of the Torah to contemporary Judaica art
The breastplate is first mentioned in the Torah as part of the desert dwelling, built during the time of Moses in the Sinai Desert, around 1313 BC. It was square, 4x4 inches (about 10x10 cm), made of pure gold with a silver frame, and attached to a pontate (cohen's chest) in rings and gold chains. Inside were 12 precious stones, arranged in three columns of four, engraved with the names of the tribes – a magnificent sight that symbolized the unity of the people of Israel before God.
Throughout history, the breastplate has influenced Jewish art: In the First Temple of Jerusalem (built by King Solomon, 950 BC) and in the Second (re-initiated 516 BC), it was a central symbol. During the period of exile, Jews preserved their memory through literary art and decoration in synagogues, such as those in Spain and North Africa in the 12th-15th centuries. In the 19th century, with the revival of modern Judaica, jewelry began to be produced with its inspiration – mainly in Jewish communities in Europe and the Middle East. Today, in Israel and the Diaspora, Hoshen jewelry is part of the celebration of Jewish identity, especially around holidays such as Rosh Hashanah or Bar Mitzvah.

The original breastplate – a symbol of unity and divine guidance
The breastplate was not just an ornament it was a sacred vessel. According to the midrash, the stones shone to indicate God's will, and the Urim and the Tomim (their names suggest "light" and "tom") provided direct answers to the questions of kings and prophets. This made him a symbol of wisdom, protection and direct connection to the sky. Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchak, 1040-1105) interprets that the stones symbolized the tribes as God's "eyes" on the people of Israel, and asks them for "light" (guidance).
In Kabbalah, the breastplate is associated with the upper spheres the 12 stones represent the 12 tribes as the coercive of divine power, and the square structure symbolizes a balance between the four worlds (nobility, creation, action). This symbol passed through centuries of postcards, from the Babylonians to the Holocaust, as a reminder of Jewish resilience. In our jewelry, this symbol relives through high-end designs like 925 Silver Hoshen Ring Set in 12 Crystals with Decorations , with delicate decorations and Bible-inspired design, at a sale price of 185.90.

- Reuben – ruby (red) – a symbol of passion and regret.
