The Diamond Store offers three of the main Jewish symbols as part of their pendant range. They are mounted in white or yellow gold and have very attractive pave set diamonds.
The Magen David (shield or Star of David) is actually a relatively new Jewish symbol and is supposed to represent the shape of King David's shield (or the emblem on it). Today the Magen David is a universally recognized symbol of Jewry and appears on the flag of the state of Israel, and the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross is known as the Red Magen David.
The Chai symbol is used extensively in items of jewellery and is the Hebrew word for living, with the two Hebrew letters Chet and Yod joined together. The concept of Chai is important in Jewish culture with a typical toast being l’chayim (to life). Gifts to charity are often donated in multiples of eighteen which is the numeric value of the word Chai.
The hamesh or hamsa hand is an inverted hand with thumb and finger pointing outward. The design usually has an eye in the centre of the hand or various Jewish letters in the middle. This hand pattern represents a protection against the evil eye which has historically been a popular superstition among the Jewish people.
Whether you want to purchase one of these pendants for religious or decorative purposes, The Diamond Store currently have some excellent special offers which are well worth taking advantage of before the already limited stocks run out.
