Guardian of Secrets
The Jug pendant is inspired by an archaeological discovery of a jewelry hoard in Israel, dating back to around 1100 BCE. The treasures were hidden inside a ceramic vessel, wrapped in cloth and buried within an Iron Age home. At the time, ancient Israel stood at the crossroads of major civilizations — Egypt, Phoenicia, and Mesopotamia. Life was largely agrarian, but craftsmanship, trade, and writing flourished. Ceramic jars like the one that held the hoard were essential in daily life, used to store grain, water, oil, and valuables — symbolizing both material and spiritual preservation. The shape of the pendant echoes the vessel — a symbol of containment, care, and inner richness. Just as a jug fills with water, a person fills with knowledge, memory, and experience. The beauty lies not in remaining full, but in the ability to be emptied and refilled — again and again.
