An open, adjustable sterling silver band engraved with the words “this too shall pass.” One end curls into a dandelion seed head, the other releases scattered seeds on the wind — an old image of transience. Slip it on before a difficult day, or offer it to someone moving through change.

Meaning & Intention
The dandelion is one of nature’s quietest teachers. It blooms full and golden, then in a breath becomes a fragile sphere of seeds waiting for the wind. Nothing about that shift is a loss; it is simply the next chapter.
Stamped alongside the words this too shall pass, the image becomes a small, wearable acknowledgment that every state we are in, difficult or joyful, is already moving toward something new.
This mantra has traveled through centuries and cultures because it holds two truths at once: it steadies us in hard seasons and humbles us in easy ones.
The open band echoes the same idea. Unlike a fixed circle, it has room to shift and settle, much as we do as we move through change — an image of adapting rather than resisting.

Questions & Guidance
Is this ring sold as a pair?
No. It is sold individually as a single adjustable ring.
How is it different from the original design?
This is the petite version of the best-selling ring, made in a smaller scale for a more delicate look on the hand.
Which finger works best?
Because the band is adjustable within sizes 5.5 to 7, it can be shifted between fingers as the mood or intention changes. Many wear it on the index or middle finger, where it catches the eye during the day.
Would this suit someone going through a hard time?
Yes. The mantra was chosen for exactly those seasons. Held before a difficult conversation or offered as a gift during grief or transition, it names impermanence without minimizing what is being felt.
