Description
When a single Star of David just isn't enough, why not try 23? It may not hold a special meaning for the tribe (as far as we know), but it's the max we could fit on this chain. This Magen David necklace is perfect for those who truly embrace their Jewish roots, available in both silver and gold. The Magen David, also known as the Star of David or Jewish star, is considered a powerful symbol of Jewish identity, unity, and protection.

Mamaleh is Jewish jewelry with a Yiddish point of view, made "for the ones with chutzpah," as the brand puts it. It comes from Dara Katz, an editor and writer who started it while home on maternity leave during the pandemic. Late-night nursing sessions meant a lot of time online, and when she searched for jewelry with Yiddish words, she found it didn't exist. So she decided to design it herself.
The name was her grandmother's term of endearment for her, and it fit her new life as a mom. Katz grew up in Deerfield, Illinois, feeling close to the grandparents who brought Yiddish into her life.
The first line launched in February 2023 with necklaces spelling out chutzpah, mamaleh, mensch, oy and yente. Katz sees the pieces as a subtle "wink" between Jews, a way to start a conversation beyond Jewish geography. The line has since grown to Star of David necklaces, Yiddish studs and bracelets in gold and silver tones, plus objects, stickers and art prints.
