The Origin of "This Too Shall Pass"
The phrase traces back to a Persian fable about a powerful king who asked his advisors for a sentence that would be true in every situation, whether he was happy or sad, winning or losing. They returned with four words: "This too shall pass."
In Jewish tradition, the story is often attributed to King Solomon. The idea appears throughout the Talmud and Hebrew wisdom literature: nothing in this world is permanent. Joy passes. Pain passes. What remains is how you carry yourself through both.
Why People Wear "This Too Shall Pass" as Jewelry
For many people, this phrase is more than a saying. It's a daily anchor.
During hard seasons, it's a reminder that the difficulty won't last forever. During good times, it's a call to be present and grateful, because this moment will also move on.
Wearing it on a ring or bangle keeps the message physically close. You feel the engraving when you touch it. You spin the ring when anxiety builds. The phrase becomes something you carry with your body, not just your mind.
Spinner Rings and Anxiety Relief
There's a reason spinner rings have become popular for anxiety management. The repetitive motion of spinning the outer band gives your hands something to do, redirecting nervous energy into a calming rhythm.
When the spinner band carries the words "This Too Shall Pass" or the Hebrew "Gam Ze Ya'avor" (gam ze ya'avor), the physical act of spinning reinforces the message. It's a grounding technique you can use anywhere: in meetings, on the subway, before a difficult conversation.
Our This Too Shall Pass spinner ring is available in gold and silver, with the phrase engraved in English on one side and Hebrew on the other.
The Bangle Version
If rings aren't your style, the same message is available as a This Too Shall Pass bangle bracelet. The bangle is reversible: English on one side, Hebrew on the other. Flip it depending on your mood or who you're with.
Both pieces are part of our larger motivational jewelry collection, which features spinner rings and bangles with messages of faith, strength, and gratitude.
