FAQ
How long is the chain?
The necklace comes on a fine chain measuring 17.7 in (45 cm) — a classic length that settles gently at the collarbone, just below the base of the neck. It sits comfortably on its own and layers easily with shorter or longer chains.
Which finishes are available?
The Chai necklace comes in a gold and a silver finish, both with the same pendant design. Select your preferred finish above before adding it to your cart.
Will the necklace tarnish or fade?
With proper care, your necklace will keep its shine. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping, and keep it away from perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store it flat, on its own, so the chain doesn't tangle.

What does the Chai symbol mean?
Chai (חי) is the Hebrew word for "life," written with the letters chet and yod. Together those letters carry the numerical value of 18 — long considered a number of blessing and good fortune, which is why Chai jewelry is such a common gift for birthdays, graduations, and new beginnings. Worn close to the heart, it's a quiet affirmation of life.
