The Star of David is a very well known symbol and modernly also worn as jewelry.
Wearers ascribe protective qualities to the Star of David, or Magen David, just as in the days of King Solomon.
For background information about the Star of David and also some beautiful jeweled specimens,
you might be interested to visit the commercial Star of David jewelry page by the artist David Weitzman.

The Star of David, a six-sided star or hexagram
is known among Hebrews today as Mogen David
(perhaps similar is Latvian Mi(r)dzina Tauta = the (star) folk sparkles)
It was also called Solomon's Seal
and consisted of two interlaced triangles.
The Star of David is appropriately called a "STAR"
and - in our "very speculative" view -
it represents a double-triangulation which "maps"
the position of the major stars of the heavens
with the major axis along the Milky Way
from Sirius to Aquila.
As such, the Star of David was originally perhaps
a secret symbol of the stargazing priests,
later adopted by the Israelite Kings David and Solomon
and subsequently by the Hebrew people as a whole.
