Soapstone Star with Chai
November 2004
Soapstone, sterling silver
Hand-cut Star of David with a
חי (
chai) carved on the face and bezel-set. Similar in execution to the
longevity cufflinks and earrings, except that with those I didn't have to actually cut the stone into a specific shape. Nothing like taking a hacksaw to a piece of talc!
