Provided below is an explanation of the Star of David as well as some Jewish motifs found in Kabbalah bracelets that have an association of some sort with this famous symbol.

The Star of David

The Star of David is a hexagram or the combination of two equilateral triangles. According to tradition, the six pointed star that was used as a shield by King David and his warriors brought about security and led to great victories. As a result, people wear the Star of David for divine protection.

Merkabah

An exclusive Kabbalah symbol, the Merkabah is in actuality a Star of David in its three dimensional state.  The intensely powerful structure is thought to release constructive spiritual energies that generate fortification and blessing for the person wearing or displaying it.




Seal of Solomon

The Seal of Solomon is a hexagonal figure that is made up of two interlaced triangles, creating the outline of a six-point star. It represents a synchronization of complements. Each symbol within the seal of the ring has its own distinguishing significance. The star of the seal is representative of Israel and is also sometimes referenced as the Star of David. The two interlaced triangles are believed to be symbolic of water and fire, renewal and creation, and remission and prayer.

The lines that come down from the lower points of the star are thought to be representative of the holy light shining down on Israel and King Solomon’s kingdom. Most of the time, duplications of the Seal of Solomon have Hebrew letters on them which portray positive feelings.

These are only some of the Jewish motifs that can be found in Kabbalah pieces.
