Miss Alexis Zimberg of Washington, DC (originally from Detroit, MI). Adopted August 11, 2011 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Composed by me and the armiger with some advisory help of Michael Medvedev. Digitally mastered by Alexander Greifenstein (Guild of Heraldic Artists, Russia).

Jewish roots of the armiger are in Hungaro-Slovako-Ukrainian region (cities of Mateszalka, Berekszaz, Munkacs etc), so the indented division stands for Carpathia (Carpathian Ruthenia). Some of the armiger’s ancestors are from Bialystok, so Gu and Ag are for Poland (Vert, Ag and Gules are Hungarian; Or and Az are Ukrainian - etc. etc).

Magnificent. I do like the diaparing.

What is the translation and significance of the motto?

 

I am not Jewish, but, I would be happy to adopt that design.

 

Congratulations to all of you.

Dear Iain, it is Hebrew ‘"b’sharet" (not to be mixed with Yiddish "bashert" - fate, fated, destiny etc.). The translation depends on context, but in its common sense the meaning is close to "in service", "[to be] of service" etc. This word is tattooed on the girl’s finger ‘reserved’ to bear a wedding ring (she have not yet has one:)

Very interesting design.  I love the unique division line.  I’d like to see the English blazon for this if you would.

Edit: My attempt:

Per fess enarched indented Or and Vert, in chief on a mullet of six points Azure a hexagram (Star of David?) Argent, in base on a mullet of six points Argent a hexagram (Star of David?) Gules

A superb and interesting design for a lozenge. Well done!

Out of curiosity I too would be interested in knowing how to blazon this in English.

Very, very nice!  Both the design itself, and the emblazonment, are top-notch heraldry.  The designers, and the young lady, should be proud. (Now if you can interest her in joining our Forum…I’m sure Kathy would enjoy the company!)

Well, I don’t think I’m very good in English as ‘blazonator’, but I cannot find any defects in the version kindly proposed to us by Kevin (thank you, dear sir!).

The arms are actually quite simple, totally geometric - so there was no place for real artistry here. The main problem was to find a balance of sizes, angles and colours (tones). Nonetheless we were busy with that for two weeks:)

Michael Medvedev’s version:

"Per fess enarched indented Or and Vert, in chief on a mullet of six points Azure a hexagram [Star of David] Argent, in base on a mullet of six points Argent a hexagram Gules"
