The star of David was worn by most of the congregation unbelievers and believers alike. When asked, the rabbi said that there was no clear origin of this charm, so I researched it and he was basically right, except there was some evidence that it was first used in a synagogue 1800 yrs. ago. (Other references connected it with some spell casters and some other unsavory practices)..but who really knows? .

Is not the cross a charm as well? Also hasn't the Cross been used as well for unsavory practices like cross burnings ect...... The bottom line is that they are both statements and generally the Star of David is recognized by Jews as simply being Jewish or in agreement with. It has been adopted by the Jews as a symbol of Jewishness and nothing more.
