Description One of the great things about long-standing religious and cultural traditions are that they allow for an innumerable amount or reworking and aesthetic innovations, and this Gold Plated Shema Yisrael Pendant is just such an example. Crafted from the finest 925 sterling silver that has been gold played and featuring a design at the centerpiece which evokes the Shema Yisrael. The words of that all-important prayer are stylized in Hebrew, fit inside an elegantly-etched ring, and God’s name is not spelled out so as to avoid desecration. It is written in Hebrew text of the basic Jewish creed: Shema Yisrael, Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad (Hear, O Israel, Hashem is our God, Hashem is One) (Deuteronomy 6:4). God's name is not spelled out on the pendant, to avoid desecration. Made of 925 Sterling Silver (hallmarked), gold plated. Condition: new
