Shel zahav is Hebrew for "of gold". It's what we make, and all we make: the Star of David, the chai, the hamsa, Jerusalem in Hebrew letters, the menorah, the olive branch, in solid gold and nothing else.
We make them for people who love Israel, Jewish and Christian, some who have been a dozen times and some who haven't been yet. What they share is a feeling for a place and a people, and these are the pieces people have always worn to say it, to themselves and to the people they love.
Most of what we make is given. A chai for a bar mitzvah, a small Star of David for her bat mitzvah, a pomegranate for the new year, a tag for a son, Am Yisrael Chai for a friend in Israel. So we make each piece to be given: well finished, honestly priced, and made to outlast the occasion.
Every piece is made to order in the gold you choose. 14k is where most people start. 10k brings the price down. 18k is the richest color we offer.
Shel Zahav
Not yet. Shel Zahav is shown here as a sample store on the Emblem template. The prices are real sample prices for each piece in each gold, but nothing here can be ordered.
Yes, solid gold all the way through. We work only in gold: no plating, no gold-filled, no silver underneath, and nothing set into it. Each piece's page says which gold it's shown in, and you can choose another.
They say how much of the metal is pure gold. 10k is 41.7% gold: harder, a little paler, and the lowest price. 14k is 58.5% gold, the American standard, warm in color and tough enough for every day. 18k is 75% gold: richer and deeper yellow, a little softer, and it costs the most. The rest of each is other metals that make it hard enough to wear. The price follows the gold in it, so the same piece costs more as the karat goes up.
For a gift to wear every day, 14k. For a child, or to keep to a budget, 10k is strong and looks like gold. For a piece to be handed down, or for someone who loves a deep yellow, 18k.
Yes. Each piece is cast and finished for you in the gold you choose, so allow a few weeks. If it's for a bar or bat mitzvah, a wedding or a holiday, order with time to spare.
A chai, which is the word for life; a Star of David, small for a girl and bold or on a tag for a boy; a name in Hebrew; or Am Yisrael Chai. Our gift page has more.
The sizing page has both. Most necklaces come on a 45cm (about 18 inch) chain, which sits just below the collarbone.
Gold doesn't tarnish. Wash it now and then in warm soapy water with a soft brush, dry it with a soft cloth, and take it off to swim or to clean. The care page says more.
Write to us any time. We answer within a day, and faster the week before a holiday.
