Contemporary silver pendants consists of a variety range of subjects such as abstract designs , classic style, religious topic and many more ideas. David star known in Hebrew Magen David  or the Shield of David is a generally recognized symbol of modern  Jewish identity and Judaism.  Its shape is made by 2 triangles  forming a hexagram, combination of two  equilateral triangles.  The star of David has been adapted into a variety of many culture, but in different meanings.

Nowadays it is symbolizing thcm approximately.e state of Israel’s flag since the first Zionist congress in 1897. Before that it was used in Christianity to decorate churches in medieval time. Only later 19th century it has been used by eastern European Jewish communities as their Jewish symbol.

The Zohar (Kabbalah) gives a spiritual explanation as for the star of David triangles. The first triangle has the connection of G-D , Torah and The sons of Israel.  The second triangle is reflected by G-D , the study of Torah and the study of the Zohar. By doing these learning the Torah and the Zohar you approach yourself to G-D.

The fact that in a triangle each of The three corners of the triangles are connected with each other .  It demonstrates that the Jewish soul is itself knotted to G‑d Through the Torah study and observance. By that connection between the Jew and G‑d and the Torah study it merely brings it to light.
