Vermeil Magen David Necklace

$440.00

Arguably the most recognizable symbol of Judaism, our take on a Magen David is a bit worn and a smidge imperfect. Like the Jewish people the star has come to represent, our pendant is weathered, but not broken — a little off-kilter in the most perfectly imperfect way. We’ve been tested by time, empires, and diasporas, and we are still here.

Designed to be reversible, this pendant carries the message Am Yisrael Chai | עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי — a daily reminder that the nation of Israel lives.

18k Gold Vermeil :  Vermeil is a legally defined, premium technique that requires a base of sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) coated in a thick layer of real gold. Our vermeil uses a rich 18k gold layer at 5 microns thickness (double the industry standard of 2.5 microns), making it the most durable form of gold plating available.

A Note On Wear: Unlike solid gold, vermeil will naturally patina over time, especially with daily wear, exposure to water, sweat and lotions. With mindful care — removing before showering, exercise, swimming, or sleeping — your piece should remain luminous for years. The symbolism stays forever; the finish just asks for a little kavod.
