Inscribed in Hebrew: "Chai" or life, on front, and "18" on back. The ancient process known as 'gematria' assigns numeric values to the Hebrew alphabet so that each word is attribut ed to a number. Eighteen is the sum of the letters in 'Chai'. Gifts are often made in denominations of eighteen for this reason. Giving this symbol conveys your best wishes to the recipient to have a long and full life. Sterling Silver Square Pendant Size 3/4" Chain Length 18" Made in the USA Show more
