Mizpah jewelry was a token of love, friendship, or remembrance, often given during times of separation. The word Mizpah comes from the Bible (Genesis 31:49):
"The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another."
During the Victorian era, Mizpah rings like this served as sentimental keepsakes, symbolizing a deep bond and the hope of reunion. They were commonly exchanged between lovers, close friends, or given in mourning to honor a lost loved one.
