A slim stainless steel cuff stamped in block letters with the words “This too shall pass.” The phrase is an old piece of wisdom about impermanence, meant to steady you through both hard moments and fleeting highs.

Meaning & Intention
This too shall pass is one of the oldest pieces of wisdom passed down through generations, often traced to Persian poetry and later echoed by Sufi mystics, Jewish folklore, and Abraham Lincoln alike.
At its heart is a simple truth: nothing in life is permanent, not the storms and not the sunshine. The phrase is meant to meet you in extremes, pulling you back to center in hardship and in fleeting highs alike.
Stamped directly onto the metal, the words become a physical anchor. A glance at the wrist can create a little distance between you and the feeling, enough room to breathe.
As a cuff, the piece also holds the symbolism of an open circle, unbroken but not closed. Change flows through; you flex, adjust, and keep going.
