This is an Israeli sterling silver Magen David (Star of David) pendant necklace set with vibrant lab-created blue-green fire opals. The openwork geometric hexagram design incorporates six smaller triangular star points around its perimeter, each set with a cabochon synthetic opal display.

The reverse side of the pendant features a hand-incised artist/maker signature in Hebrew lettering reading "מרים" (Miriam) alongside a 925 sterling fineness stamp. Suspended from a fine sterling silver snake chain fitted with a functional spring-ring clasp stamped STERLING. The piece retains a natural light silver patina with minor micro-abrasions consistent with gentle handling.

Authenticity Assessment

Examination confirms the authenticity of the materials and regional craftsmanship. The 925 incised stamp and STERLING clasp marking confirm standard .925 sterling silver fineness across both pendant and chain. The six embedded stones display structural iridescence and color pattern consistent with synthetic laboratory-grown fire opal (commonly utilized in modern Israeli Judaica jewelry production). The hand-chiseled Hebrew inscription "מרים" (Miriam) on the reverse exhibits authentic hand-tooling variance, consistent with artisanal studio output from Israeli jewelers.
