Vintage Sterling Silver Star of David Chai & Heart bead charm necklace

Dainty vintage sterling silver Jewish Star-chai-heart charm bead on a 16" rope sterling necklace.

The Star of David, a six-sided star is known among Jews today as Magen David was also called Solomon's Seal and consisted of two interlaced triangles. As such, the Star of David was originally the secret symbol of the stargazing priests, later adopted by the Israelite Kings David and Solomon and subsequently by Jewish and the Hebrew people as a whole. The symbol of intertwined equilateral is thought to bring good luck.
