Shema Yisrael Circle Necklace, Openwork Nano Bible Pendant

This Shema Yisrael circle necklace takes a different approach to the same prayer. Instead of engraving the words on the surface, the whole of “שמע ישראל ה’ אלהינו ה’ אחד” is inscribed onto a nano chip set at the centre, and the metal around it is cut away into an open, radiating pattern.

The result reads as a piece of contemporary jewelry first and a religious object second. Light passes straight through the openwork, so the pendant stays visually light at 24 × 24mm and sits well on its own without competing with anything else you wear.

The circle is a deliberate choice, wholeness, continuity, no beginning or end, and it suits a piece built around a text that is meant to be repeated daily. Handmade in Israel in 925 sterling silver, finished in polished silver, 24K gold plate or rose gold.
