The word "Kabbalah" is derived from the Hebrew root "to receive, to accept", and in many cases is used synonymously with "tradition". According to Jewish tradition, the Torah (Torah - "Law" - the first five books of the Old Testament) was created prior to the world and advised God on such weighty matters as the creation of human kind. When Moses received the written law from God, tradition has it that he also received the oral law, which was not written down, but passed from generation to generation. At times the oral law has been referred to as "Kabbalah" - the oral tradition. Jewelry adornment has been an important part of Kabbalist and Jewish attire for over 4000 years in the form of amulets and decoration. The first ever jewelry pieces in history were amulets used as protection. Many of the symbols used in modern adornment are the same as they were 4000 years ago. For instance, taken from the Kabbalah, the combination of these three powerful Hebrew letters - Alef, Lamed, Dalet, evokes the consciousness of PROTECTION.
