Here’s Betty’s pick’s and the stories behind them plus a $10 coupon good towards a rosary (see details below). 

Christian Cross Necklaces

“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 Friends Wish – A Beautiful Rosary

“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

This rosary (Devout) has lush amber beads which provide a great contrast to the purple and the cross.

The serenity of the translucent green Jade was the inspiration for the new Everlasting Peace  necklace. The cross of silver and green is a simple elegant design. Betty then transformed faceted Jade rondelle beads with a yard of sterling silver wire to create a light and airy strand.

Everlasting Peace is available now in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store.

 

The Jade in this original work is top quality. Great luminosity!

Betty's newest handmade cross necklace is the delicate silver filigree "Glory to God". The ornate 2-inch silver cross has Swarovski crystals in colors representing the precious gems of peridot, ruby, amethyst, sapphire and citrine. Instead of competing with these colors - Betty selected firepolish three-tone beads - clear, fuschia and blue. The necklace strand is hand linked chain using brilliant sterling silver wire and jump rings.

Glory to God - handmade silver chain with firepolish crystals and silver filigree cross

Added a new product category to Rose of Sharon Jewelry today - faith-based jewelry. There seems to be a shortage of beaded necklaces which feature crosses so Mom (Betty) and Sandra are working on one-of-a-kind necklaces for women to wear their faith. The first piece entitled Faith is Betty's beautiful Black Onyx and silver cross. A classically symbolic design accenting the rich black of Onyx.

Spent the day in the photo studio so there are some new designs in the store and then started designing a new insert for our bracelet packaging. The insert keeps the individual pieces from tangling and jangling and doubles as a keepsake bookmark for customers.

Arden home from Vegas tonight. No he wasn't off gambling without me - he was at the International Builders' Show. It was a great week for the cellular PVC decking he represents. Great news in a down economy.

My cold is still hanging on but I am tackling it with TheraFlu hot drink. Don't know if it is any better than ordinary cold meds but I do like sitting down (rest?) and sipping the honey lemon drink.
