[split] Can anyone translate this for me please? - ruthenium - 03-21-2019

I have a similar question, and seeing how helpful everyone has been, I was wondering if you could help me with the word

תמימות

I am interested in its meaning. I understand that it can mean innocence, naïveté, completeness... How weird would it be to wear on a piece of jewelry, like a bracelet? It’s something my husband calls me- he does have a Jewish heritage, but like mine, it is only on the paternal side. Would this be a culturally acceptable way to honor that part of my heritage?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and opinions. I don’t want to commission something that turns out to be insensitive or absurd rather than meaningful.

It means "naivete" or "innocence." Mostly "naivete."
