Description
Rooted in ancient Persian and Turkish folktales, the phrase Gam Zeh Yaavor, "this too shall pass", has been a quiet source of steadiness for generations.
King Solomon himself once ordered his minister to find something that could make a sad man happy and a happy man sad. The minister traveled the kingdom for six months, and the night before it was due, he wearily asked a peddler in the old city of Jerusalem if he had such an item.
The peddler disappeared and returned with a ring engraved with these four words. Upon reading it, King Solomon smiled.
This sterling silver necklace carries that same timeless phrase in both Hebrew and English: a grounding, wearable reminder that no moment, however heavy, lasts forever.
The perfect gift to offer comfort, perspective, and a little ancient wisdom to someone who needs it most.

Emily Rosenfeld has made jewelry her whole adult life. She started during a gap year in college, kept going after graduating as an English major, and learned the trade working for other designers. In 1991 she started selling her own designs, running the business for two years out of a Murphy bed closet in Oakland, California.
Judaica arrived in her second year in business, when her stores began asking for Jewish pieces. Her graphic, representational style took easily to Stars of David and chais, and mezuzahs were the first Judaic pieces she designed, a chance to work in carved wax instead of only sawing metal. She thinks of jewelry as a talisman, "an adornment with power."
Her inspiration comes from plants, textiles, prints and embroidery, and her songbird mezuzah grew out of evenings listening to birdsong with her son. Her mezuzahs, kiddush cups, tzedakah boxes, keychains and sterling silver necklaces and earrings come out of a light-filled studio in a converted factory building in Western Massachusetts, shared with other artists. The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History's store carries her work too.
