Sometimes, jewelry does more than shine—it speaks. Not loudly, not with flash, but with something deeper. Something ancient.
Take the Jerusalem Cross, for instance. This isn’t your typical fashion piece. It carries weight. History. Faith. Each line and edge traces back centuries, echoing pilgrimages and sacred paths walked long ago. For many, it’s not just a cross—it’s a memory passed through generations, worn close to the heart.
And then there’s malachite—not as loud as diamonds, but undeniably alive. Swirls of deep green that seem to move when the light hits them just right. This stone has stories too. People used to believe it could protect you, even heal you. Whether or not that’s true, there’s something comforting about its energy.
At Tabash Souvenirs, these aren’t manufactured trends. They’re personal, hand-touched, shaped in workshops where faith and craftsmanship still matter. Every piece? It’s made right here in Jerusalem—by hands that have done this work for years.
The Meaning Behind the Cross
Look closer at the jerusalem cross jewellery, and you’ll notice something unusual—five crosses in one. The big one in the center, surrounded by four smaller ones. Some say it represents the five wounds of Christ. Others say it’s about the message of faith spreading to every corner of the earth.
Whatever it means to you, the cross holds space for reflection. That’s what makes it so special. People wear it not to show off—but to remember. Some wear it during baptisms or carry it on pilgrimages. Others give it as a quiet gift—something sacred to pass along.
And what makes the Tabash version stand out?
It's shaped by artisans who live just steps away from where this symbol was born.
It comes in variations—silver, gold-plated, olive wood—each with its own feel.
It’s not mass-produced. It’s made slowly, properly.
Malachite: Stone of Earth and Spirit
Malachite, on the other hand, speaks in color. Deep green. Almost forest-like. No two beads ever look quite the same. Some have wide rivers of black running through them. Others, tight spirals like tree rings.
People have used this stone for centuries—not just for its beauty, but because they believed it offered protection. Even now, you’ll find folks wearing it for balance or energy. But even if you’re not into that kind of thing, malachite is just... calming to look at.
And when it’s turned into a necklace? It’s surprisingly versatile. Goes well with a white shirt or layered with gold chains. Worn alone, it speaks softly. Worn with others, it sings.
Not Factory-Made. Not Fashion-Fleeting.
Tabash Souvenirs is a small, family-run place. No giant warehouses, no bulk machines. Just people who’ve been doing this kind of work for over 40 years. They source their olive wood from Bethlehem. They buy gemstones from trusted hands in the old city markets. And they still believe in crafting with care.
They’ve shipped to people from every corner of the globe—from tourists picking up something special, to those who never made the trip but wanted a piece of Jerusalem at home.
What makes them different?
They don’t cut corners.
They don’t follow trends.
They believe in the quiet power of meaning over mass appeal.
If You’re Thinking of Buying...
Some tips—not as a sales pitch, just advice:
Pick something that speaks to you. Don’t just buy jewelry. Choose a story.
Ask questions. Where it’s from, who made it, what materials were used—these things matter.
Layer thoughtfully. A small Jerusalem Cross on a short chain looks stunning with longer malachite necklace beads.
Gift it only when it feels right. Jewelry like this isn’t for everyone. But for the right person? It lands deep.
