Star of David Amulet Pendant with Chain
Star of David Amuletic Pendant
The magical power of this amulet lies mainly in the names of God inscribed on it. Etched at the center are the Hebrew words “El Shaddai” (Lord Almighty, one of the names of God); each of the star’s six points is inscribed with a letter, which together create the words “Magen David” (Shield of David). A loop for hanging is attached to the top of the silver pendant.
This beautiful and delicate piece, suitable for any age and gender, is sure to make an exciting addition to your jewelry collection.
Did You Know? The use of amulets dates from ancient times and continues to this day. Amulets were intended to protect the wearer, his family, and his possessions from natural disasters, spells, and the evil eye. Some were thought to bear healing properties or aid fertility; others protected the wearer on his travels, conferred blessings and good fortune, or elicited the good will and love of others. The magical power attributed to Jewish amulets stems from the versions of God’s name or Biblical verses inscribed on them. For extra protection, the name of the wearer was sometimes added.
