This necklace features a Star of David (hexagram) pendant. The “BAB” marking refers to the manufacturer – “BA Ballou & Co.,” which has been operating since 1876 in Rhode Island, USA. It is one of the most famous American jewelry companies, famous for its high-quality “gold-filled” products.
* Gold filled (GF) technology gold-plated jewelry is many times more durable than standard gold-plated jewelry.GF is a US patented and very durable type of metal. GF jewelry is made at very high temperatures by layering 2 or 3 metals, one of which is gold. “Gold filled” gold-plated is performed by layering gold around the base metal, forming several layers of pure gold, carefully and several times enveloping the entire product. In this way, gold-plated jewelry does not change from contact with the skin, does not cause allergies, and is not afraid of water.
