Mizpah is a Hebrew word for "watchtower." Mizpah jewelry would be worn by those separated from each other, friends, lovers, and anyone else. Mizpah jewelry was worn as a sentimental reminder and promise. A line in Genesis reads, "And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another."
