The Torah tells Jews to affix mezuzahs to their door posts to remind them of G-d's presence and commandments in their daily lives. An actual mezuzah is a handwritten parchment paper housed inside an often beautiful protective case we typically see on a Jewish doorway. The mezuzah is said to protect the Jewish home. While only symbolic, mezuzah jewelry is also said to offer protection to those who wear it. Many mezuzah pendants have a “Shin” or “Shadai” written on the front. “Shadai” is one of the names of G-d and it is also an acronym for “Guardian of the doorways of Israel.”

When entering a Jewish home, right there on the doorpost is the mezuzah. A kosher (ritually correct) mezuzah contains parchment, called a klaft, consisting of the Shema Yisrael prayer written by a qualified scribe. This is done because of the commandment to "write them (the words) on the doorposts of your home and on your gates" in Deuteronomy 6:9. While many only place the mezuzah on the outside door, others place them on every door to a living space in their home.
Mezuzahs on doorposts are typically placed in highly decorative cases made out of a variety of materials, including painted wood, ceramic, and precious metals. Often, the Mezuzah is sold with a printed copy of the words, rather than a kosher scroll written by a qualified scribe as a placeholder.
On the back of the scroll "Shaddai", one of the names of G-d, is typically written. This serves a secondary purpose on a mezuzah, as the Hebrew letters shin-dalet-yod that make up "Shaddai" can also be an acronym for a phrase that translates "Guardian of Israel's Doors"
As with many symbols, the mezuzah is often said to have protective powers, and guard the home on which it is placed. Mezuzah jewelry can be taking that protection and symbolically bringing it with you. This jewelry is often marked with "Shaddai" in Hebrew, or just with the letter "shin", and is in the shape of a mezuzah on the doorpost. As mezuzah shapes vary from boxy to round, so does mezuzah jewelry, but it is still recognizable as the symbol used to protect a Jewish home made into a protective amulet, and a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Mezuzah is the Hebrew word for door post. It is the rectangular object found on the doorpost of Jewish homes. Mezuzah cases can come in many forms, some simple and some ornate but most importantly they contain a parchment scroll (Klaf) with 2 biblical passages from Deuteronomy. The Mezuzah distinguishes a Jewish home and is a reminder that the home is a holy place and you should act accordingly.
The front door and all interior doors of the house with the exception of bathrooms, closets and rooms too small to qualify as a room need a door mezuzah. The rule is that any room that is at least 4 cubits long by 4 cubits wide (approximately 6.3 feet by 6.3 feet) and has a full doorway requires a mezuzah. If you only have one mezuzah it should be placed on your front door. You can also have mezuzot in your office/place of work.
It is customary to leave your mezuzot when you move if you know that the next occupant is Jewish. If you want to swap the cases out for other ones you may do so, as long as you leave the kosher scrolls up for the new tenant.
A mezuzah pendant is a symbolic representation of the door mezuzah. It cannot have a kosher scroll in it because that would mean you would have to remove the pendant every time you entered a bathroom. You also would not be able to get the klaf wet. Therefore, the pendants generally do not contain a klaf, some might have a symbolic piece of parchment inside but it is not a kosher klaf.
It is customary to touch the mezuzah then kiss your fingers when you enter into a room. The mezuzah serves as a reminder to live by the 613 commandments and that G-d is watching you. It has come to be a good luck ritual for many and the mezuzah is said to offer protection as well.
Many believe the mezuzah is good luck and offers protection to those who live in a house with a mezuzah. This dates back to the 10 plagues when G-d passed over all the houses with symbolic mezuzot in the killing of the first born. According to 13th century scholars, no demon has power over a house with a mezuzah. If a family has suffered bad luck or misfortune it is customary to check the mezuzah to make sure the klaf is still kosher and if you replace it you can change the energy in the house.
The mezuzah is affixed to the right side of the door, approximately 1/3 of the way from the top of the door. In most traditions the mezuzah is slanted / angled inwards though some affix it straight on. Some people also have a car mezuzah which is more symbolic and has the travel blessing on it. The mezuzah is also a very popular design for a Jewish pendant or necklace.
