Nose-jewels: Only mentioned in
(Isaiah 3:21) although refered to in
(Genesis 24:47)
(Proverbs 11:22; Hosea 2:13) They were among the most valued of ancient
female ornaments. They "were made of ivory or metal, and occasionally
jewelled. They were more than an inch in diameter, and hung upon the
mouth. Eliezer gave one to Rebekah which was of gold and weighed half
a shekel...At the present day the women in the country and in the
desert wear these ornaments in one of the sides of the nostrils, which
droop like the ears in consequence."
