Woman of Valor Bracelet by Laurel Elliott

This contemporary bracelet features text about the virtuous woman as known from the Eshet Chayil or the Woman of Valor, a hymn of praise to the virtues of women. According to some interpretations it was originally composed by Abraham as a eulogy to his wife Sarah. To others, the poem is an allegory to the divine and to the soul. Inscribed: "Who can find a Virtuous Woman? For her price is far above rubies. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her."

 

The shape of this bracelet is a geometric form known as a Mobius strip, after the mathematician August Ferdinand Mobius (1790-1868). It represents the seeming paradox of a plane without end, or one of infinite length. As such, it became accepted as a symbol for infinity.
