Frequently Asked Questions
Authenticity & Origin
Every Moriah piece is set with a genuine stone recovered through the Temple Mount Sifting Project. Each collection is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Dr. Gabriel Barkay and Zachi Dvira, Co-Directors of the Temple Mount Sifting Project. View Certificate
In 1999, ancient artifacts beneath Jerusalem's Temple Mount were nearly lost. Archaeologists received state approval to establish the Temple Mount Sifting Project to recover and preserve this material. Moriah's founder, Avi Tavisal, has taken part in the sifting himself, and Moriah Collection holds exclusive, patent-protected rights to set these genuine stones into jewelry — continuing to support the project's work with every piece created. Every Moriah piece carries a certified fragment of that discovery.
Moriah holds exclusive, patent-protected rights to the stones recovered by the official Temple Mount Sifting Project. When you buy from Moriah, you're buying from the source, not a reseller.
Yes, naturally- Jerusalem Stone gradually absorbs heat and minerals from your skin, so its color can shift subtly the more you wear it. It's part of what makes each piece personal to its owner.
Yes. We ensure that the inscriptions on our jewelry are suitable, allowing you to enter the restroom while wearing it.
Religious & Halachic Questions
No. While the Temple Mount complex is considered holy, the stones come from an area known as Solomon's Stables, which holds historical but not religious significance. We've consulted halachic authorities, who confirmed the stones are fully permissible to wear.
Yes. We've consulted halachic authorities who confirmed the stones are not holy and are fully permissible to wear- including in everyday settings. Opinions vary among rabbis on ascending the Temple Mount itself; wearing the jewelry offers a way to feel connected to the site regardless of that personal choice.
Care & Warranty
Jerusalem Stone is natural and soft, so like any natural stone, it can crack if dropped. That's why every piece comes with a 5-year warranty - if your stone breaks, we repair it free of charge.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, perfume, soap, and cleaning agents, as the stone is natural and sensitive to moisture. For professional cleaning, contact The House of IDC.
