Star of David Chai Necklace, Sterling Silver | BUNIQE
$72.00+ $90.00+
Two symbols in one pendant: a Star of David with the Hebrew word Chai cut cleanly through the middle.
The star is open, so the light passes through the letters as you move.
NECKLACE DETAILS
────────────────
• Style: Open Star of David with a cut-out Hebrew Chai
• Material: 925 sterling silver, or the same silver with 24K gold or rose gold plating
• Pendant Size: 25 mm x 25 mm, about 1 inch across
• Thickness: 1.2 mm
• Chain Style: Box chain
• Length Options: 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 inches
• Handmade to Order
The pendant is cut from one flat sheet rather than cast as a solid plate.
That is why the triangles read as clean lines, and the Chai sits inside the center hexagon as open letters rather than an engraved surface.
Cutting the letters through the metal is slower than stamping them, and it is the reason the word stays sharp for years instead of wearing smooth.
Sterling silver is the base under every finish.
The gold and rose gold versions are the same silver with a plated layer, so the weight and feel are identical across all three.
It suits a first Star of David for a bar or bat mitzvah, a quiet daily piece for someone who wants the symbol without a large pendant, and a gift that says something specific rather than something pretty.
HIGHLIGHTS
──────────
• Star of David and Chai in a single pendant, not a charm hung beside another
• Letters cut through the metal, so they cannot rub away
• Flat 1.2 mm profile that sits close and does not catch on clothing
• 925 sterling silver base in all three finishes
• Box chain in five lengths, so it works layered or alone
• Nickel-free
• Suits men and women; the design is not gendered
• Handmade to order in Israel
HOW TO ORDER
────────────
1. Choose your Material Finish: Sterling Silver 925, 24K Gold Plated or Rose Gold Plated.
2. Choose your Necklace Length from 14 to 22 inches.
3. Add to cart. The pendant arrives exactly as shown; there is nothing to type.
CHOOSING A LENGTH
─────────────────
14 inches sits at the base of the throat and is usually for a child.
16 inches sits at the collarbone.
18 inches is the most-ordered length, and just below it is where a 25 mm pendant reads best.
20 inches sits on the chest, above a shirt neckline.
22 inches sits lower and is the usual choice for men.
PRODUCTION & DELIVERY
─────────────────────
• Handmade to order
• Processing Time: 1-3 Business Days
• USA: USPS First Class Mail, approximately 6-9 business days
• Outside the USA: FedEx Express, approximately 3-6 business days
• Tracking provided
• Beautifully packaged in a premium gift box
A SYMBOL WORTH WEARING
──────────────────────
The Star of David says where someone comes from.
The Chai says what they want for themselves.
Putting them in one pendant is not decoration; it is the shortest way to carry both without explaining either.
That is why this piece is bought for the moments that mark a beginning, a bar mitzvah, a bat mitzvah, a first year in a new country, and why people keep wearing it long after the occasion.
GOOD TO KNOW
────────────
Q: Is the gold solid gold?
A: No. The base is 925 sterling silver in all three finishes, with 24K gold or rose gold plating. If you want this design in solid gold, message me before ordering, and I will let you know the cost.
Q: Will the plating wear off with time?
A: Yes, plating is a surface layer, and it wears off with daily use, faster on skin that is acidic. The sterling silver version is the one that remains unchanged indefinitely.
Q: Can I have a name or a date engraved on it?
A: No. This pendant is cut, not engraved, and adding an engraving would cross the open letters. If you want a Hebrew name on a piece, message me, and I will point you to the ones made for that.
Q: Is it for a man or a woman?
A: Both. At 25 mm, it is large enough to read on a man at 22 inches and small enough to sit quietly on a woman at 16 or 18.
Q: How thin is it?
A: 1.2 mm. It is light on the neck, and because the star is open rather than solid, it does not feel like a coin against the skin.
Q: How do I look after it?
A: Keep it dry, and away from perfume, lotion and cleaning products. Wipe it gently with a soft jewelry cloth after wearing. Silver darkens with air, which is normal and can be polished back.
Q: Does it come in a gift box?
A: Yes, every order ships in a premium gift box, ready to give without rewrapping.
