Augis presents this stunning open-work Star of David medal in 750/1000 (18K) yellow gold. A heartfelt gift idea, it will beautifully adorn the neck of its lucky wearer.

The Star of David (Magen David or Magen David, literally "Shield of David") is the symbol of Judaism. It consists of two equilateral triangles - one pointing upward, the other downward. Today, it appears prominently on the flag of the State of Israel. According to Jewish tradition, it represents the emblem of King David and is seen as a symbol of the Messiah (of Davidic lineage). It can be said that the expression "Star of David" carries a historical weight, while "Seal of Solomon" evokes a more magical connotation and mystical aura - same denotation, but distinct connotations.

Until the 15th century, the Star of David - also known as the Seal of Solomon - was a protective magical symbol featured on amulets. It only became the emblem of Judaism, much as the crucifix is for Christianity, after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in the 15th century, further cemented by the rise of the printing press.

With a diameter of 16 mm, this round medal is crafted in 750/1000 (18K) yellow gold with a high-polish finish. You'll appreciate the luminous reflections of the polished yellow gold. An oval bail completes this jewelry piece, with an average gold weight of 0.80 grams.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the open-work design of this product, engraving is not possible.
