In ancient Israelite culture, jewelry was not merely ornamental but also a symbol of status and identity. It was customary for a maiden to adorn herself with jewelry, especially in preparation for significant events. The rhetorical question implies the absurdity of such forgetfulness, highlighting the natural inclination to remember and cherish what is valuable and integral to one's identity. Spiritually, this suggests that God's people should naturally remember and cherish their relationship with Him, as it is central to their identity. a bride her wedding sash?
