The term “Mizpah†comes from the Book of Genesis and means “May God look after Me and Thee while we are absent from one another†and was often given as a good luck for a safe return. And the word Mizpah can be seen here in this 18ct antique diamond Mizpah ring made in 1876.
With an elegant tapering band that goes from 6.5mm wide at the top to 3.5mm on one side are the letters “MIZ†and the other “PAH†with the gorgeous mine cut diamond in the centre.
This style of ring not only sits so well on the finger, but it is also a wonderful testament to a bygone era and will continue to be loved and cherished and a fantastic talking point every time that it is worn.

The term Mizpah is found in the Bible in Genesis Chapter 31, Verse 49 that refers to Mizpah as a watchpost, symbolising a place of sanctuary. It refers to when Jacob and Laban agree at Gilead to a Godsent peace, and they build a memento of stone and named it like their wise covenant MIZPAH, saying, “The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from anotherâ€.
Over the years, and indeed centuries, the term Mizpah has been looked upon as that will give good fortune a safe return for those that are apart. It does not refer to any monetary gains as other sayings, amulets or talismans may have, but rather safe being and safe passage.
