Chai Pendant - Wishbone Design

Chai Pendant - Wishbone Design

Chai - Hebrew Letters Chet and Yud - Chai translated meaning Life.

Chai Pendant has a "Wishbone" design - with a petite Israeli Diamond. The forked furcula bone which lies between the breast and neck of a chicken, or other fowl, is popularly called the wishbone or Merry thought-the latter being the much older term-named after the custom which has incorporated it since at least the 17th century. Two people take hold of either side of the bone, some insist they must use their little fingers only, and pull until it breaks. Whoever gets the largest piece can make a wish which, if not told to anyone, will come true. Nowadays mainly done by children, the custom is first described by John Aubrey in 1686, although the word 'Merry thought' appears in earlier 17th-century contexts.
