Luxury Religious Gifts

Whether you’re religious or not, you can give a meaningful, luxury religious gift to someone who you know will appreciate it. At AC Silver, we occasionally find ourselves lucky enough to have items – both silverware and jewellery – that would make for perfect religious gifts. Take a peek at our top picks that can be found among our vast collections.

Candlesticks and Candelabras

Candlesticks and candelabras are great luxury religious gifts. Candles are frequently used in religious rituals and spiritual means as both functional and symbolic lights Within the Catholic Church, for example, the light signifies prayers and the emerging light of God. The burning of votive candles are not only a common sight within the church but a have a soothing effect on the mind. A gift of antique silver can be treasured well beyond a life time, and serve as a reminder that there is light even in the darkest times. For those who celebrate Hanukkah, this sterling silver hanukkiah might be the perfect gift. Lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah, this ornamental piece is sure to be appreciated.

Cross Jewellery

A gift that would be perfect for Christians of all kinds can be found in cross pendants. A very traditional gift for religious women in particular, a cross pendant can be an ornate, statement piece of jewellery, or a more simplistic piece that can be worn more often. These styles of pendants are perfect to show someone that you acknowledge and appreciate that element of their lives, truly a meaningful religious gift.

We’re exceptionally lucky at AC Silver to have a vast range of cross-shaped pendants. We have large, ornate pieces as well as more understated items, serving a wide range of recipients.

Judicia Gifts

If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for a devout follower of the Jewish faith, we have some beautiful pieces in mind. This antique silver Torah breastplate was crafted in London in 1924 by Sigmund Zyto. It features various bird designs, as well as a star of David to the centre – one of the most recognisable symbols of Judaism. The hinged doors at the centre of the breastplate are modelled after the Tablets of Stone, famously inscribed by Moses on Mount Sinai and featuring the Ten Commandments written in Hebrew. It has clearly been crafted with great care and it is sure to be appreciated by anyone who knows the ins and outs of Judaism.

Another Jewish gift can be found in this Torah Pointer, also referred to as a yad. Torah pointers are used to keep one’s place whilst reading the sacred text, as touching a Torah directly is strictly forbidden. The Torah scrolls kept in Jewish temples are often very old, and great care is required whilst handling them. Even ‘new’ Torah scrolls, however, are not to be touched with bare hands.

The star of David sits atop the yad, and the traditional style feature of a pointing hand is at the tip. A yad such as this one, then, would make for an excellent gift for someone deeply interested in the Jewish faith.

Communion Sets

As a present for a first communion or for any Christian with a special interest in the various sacraments and practises of their faith, communion sets make the perfect gift.  This communion set features a chalice, a paten, and a wine flask. Typically, these are reserved for usage during the Christian sacrament, Eucharist, also referred to as Holy Communion. While the Eucharist is practised by Christians of all subdivisions, it is most commonly associated with Catholicism. This Victorian set is made with cranberry glass for the wine flask, adding a certain unique beauty that is not always found in religious gifts. The patten features ornate engraving that further adds to the beauty of the selection.

The Thabeik bowls have no ceremonial or religious purpose; they are purely ornamental. The shape of the Burmese silver bowl is based on alms or begging bowls used by Burmese monks of the past. This antique thabeik bowl has exceptional detail, embellished with fine panels of decoration featuring a series of iconic Burmese figures in high relief, wearing courtly and traditional dress. This silver ornament would make an exceptional gift for any antique lover.
