From Solomon’s Song of Songs, Chapter 2, verse 16, the most passionate declaration of love in the Bible. Engraved in Hebrew on each side of the pendant. The Hebrew letter forms are in an Italianate style of the 16th century. The chapter begins: 1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. And closes: 17 Until the day break and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
