This beautiful two-tone pendant combines two of the most iconic symbols of the Jewish faith: the Magen David (Star of David) and the Chai. Crafted in solid .925 sterling silver with a radiant gold-tone finish, the pendant features a unique textural contrast. The front is polished to a bright shine with clean openwork, while the reverse displays a rugged "nugget" texture—a design element popular in late 20th-century jewelry that adds depth and structural integrity to the piece.

At 1.8 grams, it is a lightweight, comfortable piece perfect for daily wear or as a meaningful gift for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Hanukkah. The bail is sturdy and marked "925" for authenticity.
