925 Sterling silver
Size: 1.1" X 3.7" / 2.7 cm X 9.5 cm
This is unlike any keychain you've ever had! Beautiful and meaningful, it is entirely made from sterling silver, including the keyring itself. It is based on an original amulet created in the Land of Israel in the 19th century.
Inscribed in Hebrew on the obverse of this amuletic pendant is the world "Shaddai", the Almighty inside a Star of David.
Amulets were intended to guard their owners' families and property from natural disasters, spells, and evil spirits. Some were used to heal sickess and cure infertility; others were meant to shield the traveler from peril, to promote success and bounty, and even to secure the affection of friends and lovers.
This item comes with a certificate of authenticity of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem together with a description of its historical background in English and Hebrew.
