Ruth/Miriam TimbrelNovember 2009 Sterling silver, 14 karat yellow gold Commissioned by a very patient friend of mine, this pendant is packed with meaning. Her Hebrew name is Ruth Miriam, which is reflected everywhere in the design of the piece. The top of the front face is a stylized representation of wheat done in 14K yellow gold, which alludes to Ruth 2: 23 wherein Ruth " stayed close to the maidservants of Boaz, and gleaned until the barley harvest and the wheat

My purpose in putting it into this amulet is to ensure that this protective intimacy is always with the wearer

We're pricing the setting as though it were silver

I replaced them with three stalks of heliconia flowers

This petite and elegant bracelet sits lightly on the wrist

whose light allows us to find our way even in the darkness

but its rings were first discovered by Galileo Galilee 1610

We discussed themes like the Tree of Life or a mother-and-child

and with long-term choices--indeed

casting their light into every corner of the hamsa

doesn't mean moon but is used to indicate overcast weather or even night
