- Lot Description
Probably Israel, 20th century. An elegant carnelian pendant inscribed with the expression "Mazel Tov" (meaning good luck or congratulations) and fitted with a 63% gold (equivalent to 15K+) setting. Although mazel tov literally means "good fortune" this phrase is traditionally used differently than to wish someone "good luck" in hopes that something will turn out well. Instead, it is used to recognize that something worth celebrating has already happened. So a more accurate meaning is "congratulations". In addition, there is an engraving on the back of the loop, perhaps a signature. A beautiful piece of wearable Judaica! Total weight: 9.2 grams. Gold quality: 63%, equivalent to 15K+. Size: pendant + attached circular loop 1.75" L x 1.125" W (4.4 cm x 2.9 cm); 2.75" L (7 cm) including suspension loop; cord measures 20" L (50.8 cm)
According to Leo Rosten's humorous classic, "The Joys of Yiddish", "Don’t 'mazel tov!' a man going into the hospital; say 'mazel tov!' when he comes out. Do not say 'mazel tov!' to a fighter entering a ring (it suggests you are congratulating him for having made it to the arena), or a girl about to have her nose bobbed (which would mean 'and about time, too!')."
Provenance: private Dunn collection, Coral Springs, Florida, USA, acquired in the 1990s
