This Collection is inspired by the Dead Sea Scrolls, the ancient, authentic and amazing manuscripts found hidden in caves near the Dead Sea.

The original documents are thousands of years old, yet they were discovered only 50 years ago. The artifacts are written in Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic on leather or papyrus. (One is even on copper.) For this jewelry collection, Bonaimo has taken quotes from a book of English translations. She found these particular words to be poetic or touching. Each design has individually hand stamped letters on silver, copper and brass. These pieces can be also be customized with your favorite quote.
