Antique Jewish Silver HaParnassah Agate Pendant Necklace Hebrew Amulet Judaica
Up for sale is a rare and finely crafted antique Jewish silver-tone amulet pendant mounted with a hand-engraved agate gemstone, complete with its original brass chain.
This traditional Judaica amulet features intricate beaded and dotted silver metalwork framing an oval agate cabochon. The stone is meticulously inscribed with the sacred acronym פאי חתך (P-A-Y Ch-T-Ch), an essential Kabbalistic formula renowned for invoking HaParnassah (livelihood, financial prosperity, and sustenance)
Kabbalistic Significance of פאי חתך (P-A-Y Ch-T-Ch)
The inscription on the stone holds deep mystical meaning rooted in Jewish tradition and Kabbalah:
Source Text: The acronym is derived from the final letters (Sofei Tevot) of Psalm 145:16 (from the Ashrei prayer):
פותח את ידך ומשביע לכל חי רצון
("You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.")
The Name "פאי": Takes the final letters of the first three words (פותח את ידך — פ א י)
The Name "חתך": Takes the final letters of the next three words (ומשביע לכל חי — ח ת ך / ר). Note: The letter Final Khaf (ך) and Resh (ר) are often stylistically interchanged or combined in traditional amulets referring to the Holy Angel "Chatch," the divine messenger tasked with distributing sustenance.
Purpose: Amulets bearing these specific letter combinations have been crafted for centuries across Middle Eastern and European Jewish communities as a talisman (Segula) to draw blessing, protection, and success into business, work, and household livelihood.
