La'ad
Brooch: responsibly sourced 9 karat yellow gold, responsibly sourced sterling silver, heat coloured titanium, Brazilian heliodor (yellow beryl).
While wheat holds great cultural significance for many ancient civilisations, as well as modern empires and nation-states, this life-sustaining plant is native to the Middle East and is nowhere more deeply woven into the fabric of peoplehood than in this region. For Jews, it is difficult to overstate the fundamental role wheat has played in our formation as a people.
Wheat appears in the Torah (the original and foundational version of the Bible) from the very beginning, featuring in the book of Bereshit (Genesis) in the stories of Adam and Chava (Eve) and Yosef (Joseph). It is also one of the Seven Species (Shivat Ha’Minim)—a group of plants mentioned in Dvarim (Deuteronomy) as divine blessings of the Land of Israel. Alongside figs, barley, grapes, pomegranates, olives, and dates, wheat was a staple of the ancient Israelite diet and played a central role in daily life and religious rituals—an importance that continues to this day.
In Judaism, wheat is far more than just a food source—it is a symbol of sustenance, wisdom, divine blessing, and spiritual refinement, deeply intertwined with Jewish history, law, and mysticism.
Dimensions: 9.5 × 13.5cm (approximately 3.74 × 5.31 inches).
*Please note that the titanium pin that fastens this brooch is 1.5mm thick and therefore works best on looser woven fabrics.
