Turquoise Pomegranate Necklace
The design of this beautiful handmade 24K gold necklace with turquoise beads is inspired by ancient Turkish jewelry. The necklace ends have little gold pomegranates. Pomegranates symbolize eternity and fertility. The pomegranate was named by the Phoenicians, who were active in spreading its cultivation, partly for religious reasons. Jewish tradition teaches that the pomegranate is a symbol for righteousness, because it is said to have 613 seeds which corresponds with the 613 mitzvot or commandments of the Torah. The pomegranate has been cultivated around the Mediterranean region for several millennia. The turquoise beads were used to symbolize hope and freedom.
