My mother brought and always wore her MIZPAH ring when my father did in 1975, I have worn it since she died in 1997. It is too big for my fingers so I wear it on my thumb. I have never taken it off as I treasure it, and love the meaning (translation)

"The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another."



I have been told it is quite "trendy" to wear a ring on your thumb..............

It will be lovely to wear the ring with Dad on it, and I am sure he will be pleased to know you treasure it so, Uzzi.

I have been wearing Dads ring for over a year now. It was the ring mum bought him but he never wore as a builder and told Mum to keep for me.
She didnt but I have it. It would have always been too fancy for Dad ........anyway I am thinking of engraving it. JT is fantastic as it was his initials and mine married but I want to engrave it for my Dad.Dad will fit in the space

Any ideas
