The Otef series of Jewish pendants was created in response to the events of October 7th, symbolising the resilience of the Jewish people in the face of profound tragedy.
Each 14K gold pendant features a symbol representing a different aspect of our national and spiritual life, from the ancient six-branched menorah, through the iconic Magen David, the defining prayer of Shema Yisrael, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and the simple Chai, affirming the centrality of human life and dignity.
All of these symbols are enclosed within a perfect circle, set with seven beads, serving as a quiet but enduring reminder - so that we never forget.
