Chai pendants in .925 sterling silver.
What Chai means. The two Hebrew letters chet and yod spell chai — life. Their numerical value is eighteen, which is why gifts in Jewish tradition are so often given in multiples of 18: eighteen dollars, thirty-six, and so on.
Finishes. Polished for brightness, antiqued so the letterforms read clearly against the background.
When it is given. A bar or bat mitzvah, a birthday, or as an everyday piece — Chai is worn as commonly as a Star of David and reads as a statement of life rather than of identity alone.
