In an artistic blend of fashion and purpose, iconic jewelry designer Shlomit Ofir has teamed up with American Friends of NATAL (AFN) on a limited-edition necklace. Aptly named “Wear Your Resilience,” the piece is focused on inner strength and everyday style.
A Symbol of Resilience, Healing, and Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG)
Rooted in symbolism, the pendant is shaped like The NATAL Tree, a visual metaphor for healing, growth, and the quiet courage that follows trauma. Inspired by the process of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), this is a wearable reminder that even the most broken roots can bloom again.
Crafted in sterling silver and finished in a luxe gold plating, the necklace arrives in a keepsake-ready box with a heartfelt note from both Shlomit Ofir and American Friends of NATAL, sharing the story behind the design. At $108, it’s the perfect gift for someone special, a present for yourself when inspiration is in order, or a way to support an organization that is helping those suffering from trauma and PTSD.
Jewelry That Gives Back
All proceeds support NATAL, Israel’s frontline organization offering psychological support to those affected by trauma, especially in the wake of terrorism and war. Since October 7, demand for services has skyrocketed, with NATAL’s helpline fielding over 5,000 calls daily. Funds raised will help expand clinical services, train new volunteers, and provide emergency care for those who need it most.
She Was Born to Shine
Let’s talk about Shlomit Ofir. The original dreamer-in-gold. She launched her namesake brand in Tel Aviv over a decade ago with a sketchbook, a love for clean lines, and a vision to make jewelry feel personal, not precious. Her designs are known for being delicate, poetic, and quietly powerful.
Her studio is women-led and proudly local, where every piece is handcrafted with intention. Today, Shlomit’s glow has gone global, with fans from Paris to New York to Tokyo. But no matter how far her sparkle travels, her message stays the same: beauty should feel like strength, and elegance should feel like you.
Symbols of Strength, Reimagined
Founded in Israel, NATAL has supported individuals living through trauma from terror and war, more than 26 years ago and long before the world started talking about PTSD in headlines. American Friends of NATAL (AFN) brings that mission stateside, forging partnerships, raising awareness, and funding the urgent work that’s saving lives. While the world rebuilds what's visible, NATAL, AFN and Shlomit Ofir are focused on what can’t always be seen: the emotional quiet pain.
