Necklace

14K Yellow Gold

chai-1-14k

No stones, no texture, no flourish. Two Hebrew letters in solid gold and nothing else asking for attention.

Chet and yud, spelling chai, cut from solid 14k yellow gold at 1.78 grams. Chai means life and carries the numerical value of eighteen, which is why Jewish gifts arrive in multiples of it so often. This is the version for a woman who wants the word and not the sparkle. It layers under a diamond piece without competing, and it holds up to being worn every day for years because there is nothing set into it that can work loose. Bought for a bat mitzvah, worn long after. Solid 14k yellow gold means no plating, no coating, and no base metal underneath, which is the difference between Judaica she keeps and Judaica she replaces.
