Betty’s Christian jewelry mixes stylized crosses with colorful beads and crystals as do her handcrafted rosaries. Betty shares her favorites – all perfect for Christmas giving.
Here’s Betty’s pick’s and the stories behind them plus a $10 coupon good towards a rosary (see details below). 
“I spent the past few winters with my brother and his wife in Yuma, Arizona. Our mutual interests in jewelry-making took us into Mexico regularly to scope out locally made silver beads. I discovered a small vendor with wonderful selection of sterling silver crosses. He was hesitant to deal much until he realized I was interested in over a dozen different designs.
We also spent weekends in Quartzsite, AZ where the annual rock and bead show attracts thousands to the fair-like atmosphere. Assorted vendors, who personally traveled around the globe, offered more unique interpretations of the “old rugged” cross.”
As a Christian, I enjoy being able to share my faith through my creativity. My collection of crosses has grown significantly so I’ll be able to create beautiful original works for some time.
The soft green Jade of this cross suits the name – Everlasting Peace. Green is such a wonderfully peaceful color.
My favorite silver cross features a crown. The bold design is offset with a lovely open sterling silver chain.
The white topaz gemstone adoring the sterling silver cross is so lovely. This necklace I call Morning Star.
“A dear friend was admiring an assortment of cross necklaces I was packing to take to Sharon’s house when she asked if I could make a rosary for a gift.
I’m fond of the beautiful hematite and gold crucifixes and matched them with different beautiful beads. Each hand wired rosary has a wonderful feel in the hand. Each twist of wire represents patience and faith.” - Betty

Day 4 Promotion: Make a purchase of $150 or more from any Rose of Sharon store (links below) and we’ll send you a FREE pair of white pearl earrings as a gift! Promotion expires midnight PST 12/3/10.
When you think of white jewelry, pearls are the first to come to mind. While pearls come in a variety of colors, white pearls are the classic standard. Freshwater and cultured pearls are farmed in Asia and their more organic shapes and colors (not the perfect round versions from Breakfast of Tiffany) are budget-friendly alternatives to the A+ pearls.
Another option is faux or glass pearls. Jackie Kennedy Onassis was known for her pearls which were actually “fake”. Michelle Obama regularly wears large bold and colorful faux pearls.
Here are 5 great handmade necklaces in white from the women of Rose of Sharon Jewelry. Any one of these would be perfect for daily wear or special occasions.
Always and Forever is a lovely double strand of vintage glass pearls with coordinating earrings. These pearls (from my late Granny’s stash) are over 50 years old but have the same high quality luster as when they were first created.
Mom added some vintage gold beads for extra sparkle.
This necklace is part of our New Life Jewelry Art collection at ArtFire.
48-inches of fabulous vintage glass pearls! This necklace was created by my late Granny (Jenny of Rose of Sharon Jewelry). She was so excited to see it posted in the ArtFire store.
I’d love to see this go to someone who treasures the elegance of this versatile necklace.
There are lots of “whites” – ranging from those with a blue under cast to those with a yellow base. These have a very slight yellow cast which means they are called “off-white”.
This is called an “organic” necklace because the natural freshwater pearls have wonderful “love rings”. Love rings are tiny natural rings that encircle the pearl . The finishing touch to this long multi-strand beauty is a wonderful crystal slice with another crystal dangling within. A great choice for the gal who loves her jewelry “a la natural.”
We laid this necklace flat to get all the curves into one picture but it isn’t the most flattering pose. When you wear this necklace it really accents your neckline and is much
prettier than the picture. This one is scheduled to be reshot soon – if some lucky lady doesn’t get it first!
Betty’s Abiding Love necklace features a sterling silver cross on lovely white pearls.
White isn’t just for weddings. It is the perfect neutral and works with a wide color range from other whites to dark colors (for a pop of contrast.)
You can find these and other wonderful one-of-a-kind necklaces in all of our online stores.

From baby blue to deep (almost black) blues, blue is the most popular color. Think of the lush colors of sapphire, the deep rich Lapis blue or the pale blue of chalcedony. Natural blue stones and gems are coveted and more costly.
However, many blues in beads and stones are successfully achieved with man-made dyes giving give us boundless options in design. Dyed products are an industry standard and satisfy our desire for colorful jewelry.
Blues can be a peaceful choice like in this multiple blue necklace with a blue peace sign.
Blue is a peaceful color and makes a great choice for areas of rest in your home such as a bedroom.
Dark blue lovers are thought to be intelligent, self-reliant and willing to take on responsibility.
Sandra Lee’s Blue Cloud design uses my favorite hue of blue in the crystals. This necklace has an interesting inner strand of faux pearls plus a bonus pair of earrings!
This lovely soft sapphire blue crystal necklace and bracelet set features a silver filigree flower.
People who wear light blue are said to be thoughtful and analytical.
This Heavenly Blue ornate cross necklace is a wonderful example of white, blue and silver color theme. This beauty was handmade by Betty.
Blue is considered the color representing heaven (hence the name of this necklace).
The blue double strand necklace is a wonderful example of dyed coral. Before Dawn also features a Blue Quartz flower.
Blue Quartz is thought to have properties which improve your organization and increase mental clarity.
May you always find the peace and heaven that blue can bring to you!
