Hold your heritage close to you with this 1/2" sterling silver and 14K gold Star of David necklace with a semi-precious stone on an 18" chain. There are many ideas as to what the symbolic meanings of the Star of David are. Some Kabbalists believed that the six points represented God's absolute and infinite power over the universe in all six directions: north, south, east, west, up and down. Kabbalists also believed that the triangles represented humanity’s dual nature (good and evil) and that the star could be used as protection to ward off against evil spirits. The structure of the star, consisting of two overlapping triangles, has also been thought to represent the relationship between God and the Jewish people.
