Description
The earthy philosophy of the phrase "This too shall pass," or in Hebrew, Gam Zeh Yaavor, can be traced back to ancient folktales from Persia and Turkey.
King Solomon ordered his minister to find that which would 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 told him to wait and disappeared. He came back with a ring, engraved with "This too shall pass". Upon receipt, King Solomon smiled.
This charm has the phrase in both Hebrew and English and is the perfect gift to temper the hard times and keep you steady (and it's a favorite saying of artist Emily's grandpa, one of the wisest, most content people she's ever known!).

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.
