14K Yellow Gold

chai 30

Chai means life, and the two Hebrew letters spell it out on your collarbone in solid gold. The diamonds are there to catch the eye, not to explain anything.

Chet and yud, the two letters that spell chai, cut from solid 14k yellow gold and set with 0.07ct of natural diamonds. Chai carries a numerical value of eighteen, which is why Jewish gifts so often come in multiples of it. Women wear this one for a bat mitzvah, for Hanukkah, and for the years in between, and it is the piece our customers most often buy for a daughter. The Hebrew is legible, not stylized into abstraction, which matters when the whole point is the word. The diamonds are natural rather than lab grown, set into the gold instead of applied to the surface, and the whole thing is solid 14k yellow gold with no plating to wear away. It is Judaica that survives being worn rather than saved.
