I looked it up, it seems confusing, it says its a religious madallion meaning our God in heavan but people confuse it as being Jehova. It also says the symbol has been seen in the 2000 year old dead sea scrolls. Neat find, who knows who wore that!

It is also used as a pagan talisman.  I've been trying to find some things about the symbols on it out of curiousity.  Will have to stop looking today though and maybe try again tomorrow.

Spooky:
That is called 'Levi's pentagram"

19th century occultist Eliphas Levi constructed this pentagram. It is commonly interpreted as a symbol of mankind, as many pentagrams are. However, it is a symbol of many things that unite in the existence of mankind, as is evidence by the variety of additional symbols involved.
The four physical elements are represented here by a cup, wand, sword, and disk. These associations were common in 19th century occultism both through tarot cards (which use such symbols as suits) and ritual tools.

The eyes at the top might represent spirit. While all elements were commonly assigned a point on the pentagram, the position of spirit was of particular significance. Levi himself believed point-up pentagrams (such as this one) to be good, with spirit ruling over matter.

Alternatively, it's been suggested that the absence of a symbol in the upper left (with the first syllable of Tetragrammaton) might represent spirit.
The idea of macrocosm and microcosm is that mankind, the microcosm, is a miniature reflection of the universe, the macrocosm. Thus, all of the elements can be found within mankind, and so can influences of the astrological planets. Each here is represented by astrological symbol:

 Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus in the center, as already described.
 Mars on the upper left point
 Venus (again) on the upper right point
 Saturn on both lower points
 Jupiter on the upper point

That should date from 1900 to 1960 (ish).. It was replaced commonly by the "baphomet" pendant in a lot of cases.

And no, I am not a pagan or a satanist.
