Our Versatile Custom Hebrew Rings Selection

Ani le dodivedodi li. The translation of this biblical phrase is “I am to my beloved as my beloved is to me”. The phrase originates in the bible, and it was written by King Solomon. King Solomon wrote a book called the Song of Songs. In it, he describes the intense love that G-d feels towards His people. He compares the relationship between G-d and the Jews to that of a husband and wife. Thus, the phrase “Ani Le dodivedodi li” has become a popular, and appropriate, inscription on custom Hebrew wedding rings.

In fact, it’s so popular that the variety of ani le dodi rings available is astounding. There are rings available in several materials – 14k gold, 14k white gold, 14k rose gold, 18k gold, 9k gold, sterling silver, platinum, silver and gold combinations, various combinations of shades of gold (such as yellow and white gold, rose and white gold, or even all three!) and more. One can obtain an ani ledodi ring not just in a variety of materials or colors, but in a variety of styles. There are wide ani le dodi rings, and narrow ones. There are embossed engravings, laser engravings, cut out letters, and raised letters. There are aniledodi rings with illustrations of Jerusalem on them, as well. There are some ani le dodi rings with other intricate designs along with the inscription.

Aside from all of the options available, one can further customize his or her ring by deciding exactly what color, style, thickness, font, and design he or she wants, and simply having the custom Hebrew rings made up for them exactly according to their needs.

As if that weren’t good enough, custom Hebrew rings are not limited to the inscription “Ani le dodivedodi li”. Your Hebrew ring can host a variety of different inscriptions, most of them biblical, all with inherently deep and meaningful messages. For example, “Matzati et sh’ahavanafshi” (I found s/he whom my soul loves), “ahavatolamahavtech” (I love thee an eternal love), “harei at mekudeshet li” (you are sanctified to me), “imeshkachechyerushalayim” (if I forget thee o’ Jerusalem), and “am yisrael chai” (the nation of Israel lives).

The phrase “harei at mekudeshet li” (you are sanctified to me) is the phrase that the groom proclaims under the wedding canopy just before he places the ring onto the bride’s finger. It is this utterance and the putting of the ring onto the bride’s finger that makes the couple officially married according to Jewish law.

“Imeshkachechyerushalayim” (if I forget thee o’ Jerusalem) is a phrase from the book of Psalms. It expresses the deep anguish G-d’s nation felt when they were exiled from Jerusalem, and the holy temple was destroyed. The nation of Israel continues to carry that feeling with them throughout their lives as they yearn for the rebuilding of the temple.

These custom Hebrew rings with other inscriptions are also available in all the styles, colors, and materials listed above. So follow your heart, pick your inscription, and order your custom Hebrew ring today!

The Ring That Speaks To You

My beloved ring. “Ani LedodiVedodi Li” (I am to my beloved as my beloved is to me) is hands down the most popular inscription on Hebrew wedding rings. Why is that so? For starters, let’s take a look at the meaning of the phrase. I am to my beloved as my beloved is to me. Isn’t that what marriage is all about? You have found the person you wish to spend the rest of your life with. Your soulmate. Your beloved. A “my beloved” ring certainly belongs to your beloved, no?

Next, let’s take a look at the source of this phrase. The phrase “Ani LedodiVedodi Li” is a biblical verse from the book, the Song of Songs (“shirhashirim”, in Hebrew). The Song of Songs was written by King Solomon, who was one of the first kings of the Hebrews. He is famous for being the most brilliant man that ever lived. He is also famous for undertaking the building of the very first holy temple in Jerusalem.

In the Song of Songs, King Solomon writes about the deep, loving relationship that G-d has with His people. The Song of Songs is written as a parable, describing the love between man and his wife. This is what G-d’s relationship with His people is compared to. It is romantic; it is deep rooted; it is full of love and admiration; and it is directly compared to a loving relationship between man and his wife. Wouldn’t you say that “Ani LedodVedodi Li” is none other than the perfect, absolute perfect, inscription on your Hebrew wedding ring??

But it doesn’t end here. There are hundreds of verses in the Song of Songs, dozens of which have the concept you’d be looking for in Hebrew rings my beloved. Take “Zedodiv’zere’i” for example. The meaning of this verse is “this is my beloved and this is my friend”. It is very similar to “Ani LedodiVedodi Li”, again with the” my beloved” ring concept. This, too, is describing the feelings between G-d and the Hebrews. If you like the my beloved ring idea, but don’t want to be exactly like everyone else, the phrase “zedodiv’zere’I” might just be the perfect inscription for you. It has the same source, written by King Solomon in the Song of Songs, and has similar meaning, but if you need that diversity, this phrase is for you.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of other options for you if you are looking for a Hebrew wedding ring with that kind of message. Some have slightly different translations, but have that same romantic piece to it. For example, “matzati et sh’ahavanafshi” (I have found that which my soul loves). This too is a biblical verse, and it may speak to you more than the others. If that is the case, certainly go for it!

Don’t forget to know all of your options when it comes to choosing an inscription for your Hebrew wedding ring. You are sure to find one that speaks to you. Good luck!

How to Choose Jewish Rings for Women

Planning a wedding is such an exciting thing – you get engaged, start talking about dates, what time of year you've always wanted to get married in, venues, and before you know it - endless lists begin to pile up. And of course the bride's list is ever-so-long and seems everlasting. But don't fret, we're here to help simplify one really important task – choosing a wedding ring for the bride, in this particular case a Hebrew wedding band. 

Here are the general steps:

1. Choose a base metal for the ring.
2. Select a Hebrew inscription
3. Decide on a ring style
4. Order the correct size

Now let's drill down into them a little more:

      1. Choosing the metal used for your base ring

We start with the basics: the physical ring. According to Jewish tradition a bride's wedding ring has to be worth a Pruta, an ancient coin that was a measure of something of value. For example, making a ring out of a thread or a blade of grass may be romantic, but it's not worth a Pruta and therefore cannot be used as a valid Jewish wedding ring.

For this reason, in ancient times in was acceptable that a wedding ring be made of a precious metal, almost always gold. Now this is a metal worth quite a bit! Although, with the course of time, also silver became acceptable for Jewish rings for woman.

Ok, so now you have to consider your particular bride and ask yourself which metal would suit her better – gold or silver? If you pick silver your life just got a little easier, but if you're going to opt for gold, you'll also have to decide which color gold would be best for your wife's Hebrew wedding band: yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold? Or perhaps a combination of 2 or all 3 colors?

If you and your bride-to-be have discussed this before, you may already have your answer. Otherwise, if you're going to be choosing on your own, consider what kind of jewelry she wears now. Yellow gold is classic, white gold has shiny brilliance, and rose gold gives a tinge of vintage-feel to most rings. Think what your lady would like best.

    2. Select a beautiful Hebrew inscription

The next step in selecting Jewish rings for women is considering which inscription you want the ring to have on it. The most popular inscriptions for Hebrew wedding bands are either biblical, or they come from traditional old Hebrew texts.

The most famous and most popular is "Ani LedodiV'Dodi Li" – meaning "I am to my beloved as my beloved is to me". The quote is taken from the biblical Song of Songs, traditionally believed to have been written by King Solomon, son on King David, some nearly 3000 years ago. That's one for eternal love!

Another well-known quote used for wedding rings inscriptions is "This is my beloved, and this is my friend." Also eternal words from King Solomon, many feel that their spouses are their best friends as well as true loves. So this may be a perfect inscription for your bride's Hebrew wedding band.

A third popular choice of inscription is "When I go forth to seek you, I find you seeking me." This is a quote from a famous poem by Yehuda HaLevi dating back to the middle ages. Naturally the reason this is a popular inscription is because it shows mutuality in a relationship between spouses and their yearning for each other, wanting to help and do for one another. There are more options to consider, check in with your jeweler who you''ll be purchasing from.

   3. Deciding on a ring style

Well, you'd think "I know what metal, I know which inscription, how much more complicated can it get?" Just a little more – but we'll simplify it for you. You can have the inscription you've chosen for your fiancée's Hebrew wedding band appear on the ring in one of the following ways:

• Engraved or etched classically into the ring
• Cut-out of the metal, creating a "window" in the ring so that her finger can be seen through it
• Elevated above the band's surface, giving the ring another dimension

Ah, yes, and don't forget there are spinning rings available too – where your wife will be able to spin the ring to view the entire inscription without needed to take it off her finger.

Some women find that this is an important feature for Jewish rings for women, because they like to be able to look at the ring, reminisce about their wedding, or read words of love on their rings and be able to carry those words with them at all times. Another style element to consider is embellishments.

Today you can have a Hebrew wedding band studded with diamonds or other semi precious stones. Such bands are great for studding because there re spaces between each word that give you just enough space to add a stone. If you're bride likes diamonds you could add those in. How about studding the ring with stones o her favorite color? Now that's an idea!

4. Sizing the ring correctly

So this may be last on our list but it is super-super important. You're going to so much trouble with wedding preparations, and the ceremony is going to be so meaningful and special – why put a damper on things with the wrong size ring? A woman wants to wear her wedding ring from the ceremony onward, without having to go to a jeweler, part with the ring, have the ring resized, go pick it up again, and all that jazz. What a headache.

Do yourself a favor – make sure to order the right size ring and save a lot of heartache.

This is especially important with a Hebrew wedding band because you have word-spacing to consider. If the ring needs to be made smaller – there may be 2 words with not enough space between them; and if the ring needs to be enlarged – the words may be too far apart. So try to be as exact as possible with your size.

Also, make sure that if you're ordering a wide Jewish Ring for a woman, you need to allow a little extra space for the ring to go over her knuckle, so you may need a half size larger. It's best to have your fiancée's ring sized by a reputable jeweler to ensure you have the right size.

Now all you have to actually do is get married – Mazal Tov!

The Tale of Men’s Hebrew Rings

We’ve had so many people contact us about buying men’s Hebrew rings. People from the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, and even the occasional customer from the Far East. It’s amazing to see that Men’s Hebrew Rings are popular worldwide, and not only with Hebrew Speakers. Since Hebrew is the original language of the Bible, many men find a spiritual connection to the Hebrew language, without even recognizing the block read-right-to-left letters that make up the inscriptions on these rings.

In fact, we’ve had customers order men’s Hebrew rings from non-Hebrew or non-English speaking countries too. Men have ordered Hebrew rings from us who reside in the Philippines, Kenya, Russia, Holland, and Brazil. So it would seem that men’s Hebrew rings have much of an appeal worldwide. And although these rings are often referred to as “Jewish rings”, they are not necessarily Jewish at all. They are only called this because of the connection to the ancient texts of the Hebrew Bible.

Probably the appeal stems from wanting to have a constant reminder or either love, G-d, or a greater, higher, and stronger power that pushes us to live and do good in the world. Especially with a beloved partner to the long winding road that is life. This is why men’s Hebrew rings are often bought as wedding rings or friendship rings.

The more couple-oriented inscriptions are the famous My Beloved rings that say “I am to My Beloved as My Beloved is to Me” (Ani LedodiVeDodi Li in Hebrew) on them. Other popular couples’ inscription are “I found whom my soul loves” (Matzati Et SheAhavaNafshi) and “This is My Beloved and This is My Friend” (Ze Dodi VeZeRe’i).

Other inscriptions often selected for men’s Hebrew rings are “May the Lord Bless and Keep You” (Yevarechecha Hashem VeYishmerecha in Hebrew) and “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” (Betach El Hashem BecholLibcha).

Despite the fact that men could actually wear any style Hebrew ring, naturally men’s taste differs to women’s taste and so certain designs are made for men specifically. Most often men’s Hebrew rings will not include very wide rings – as many of the women’s rings – because men usually prefer a more understated style on their fingers.

A great example of this is a 14k white gold Jewish ring that is a thin band, not at all wide, and the inscription written on it is etched by a laser engraving. The great advantages of such a ring are that it won’t get in a way of any man’s daily tasks, it’s understated yet present enough to be noticed, and the laser engraved inscription is done in an elegant Hebrew font which is not too flashy.

This 14k white gold Jewish ring is also available in yellow gold for any man who’s in the market for the more classic look. In shopping for men’s Hebrew rings one often find rings that are made from a certain metal or a certain color, for example – silver, gold, platinum, and rose, white, or yellow gold. Men should remember that any vendor or jeweler may have their chosen ring available in a variety of colors and materials. All one has to do is ask.
