Angels and jewelry: guardian angel, archangels and angel numbers

Angels appear in Christianity, Judaism and Islam, and in many other traditions, as messengers or protectors. In jewelry they are seen above all as medals, pendants and wings. What follows describes beliefs and traditions, not verifiable facts.

Guardian angel #

According to Christian tradition, each person has an angel that accompanies and protects them. It is a very common gift at births and baptisms. See medallions.

Jewelry with angels #

• Angel medals and pendants.
• Angel wings, as a symbol of protection or remembrance.
• Jewelry to remember a loved one who has died.
• Giving an angel, as a gesture of care and good wishes.

Archangels #

Different traditions name Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, and Uriel. Other names such as Chamuel, Jophiel or Zadkiel appear in later esoteric traditions. They are given different roles: protection, message, healing or wisdom.

Angel numbers #

A modern popular belief holds that seeing certain repeated sequences, such as 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 777 or 1111, is a message. It has no scientific basis; for many people it is a way of giving personal meaning to coincidences. There is personalized jewelry with numbers or dates carrying that meaning. See personalized and engraved jewelry.

Symbols of angels #

Wings, the halo, the trumpet and the sword are frequent representations.
