Rose of Sharon Jewelry

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). 

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

In November, Rose of Sharon Jewelry introduced our 1st cross necklaces for men. These masculine necklaces are wonderful expressions of faith. Each one-of-a-kind cross necklace fits most men comfortably.

But ladies the good news:  Our men’s cross necklace are suitable for us, too! If you like the bolder cross and want a bit longer necklace, you’ll appreciate these new Christian necklaces, too. And one design was made with matching earrings for you!

Why not buy one for him and yourself? Haven’t men for years been giving us gives they really want? I remember a little red silk teddy. . .

11th	Victory – Vermeil (gold over silver) cross necklace with turquoise colored Howlite bead
12th	Witness – Antique silver cross necklace (this has earrings so he can get the necklace and you get the earrings)
13th	God’s Guidance – Turquoise and coral necklace with gold cross
14th	His Mercy – White Turquoise Cross necklace
15th	Fellowship – Black onyx and silver cross necklace

 

Reason #3 – Why invest in handmade jewelry? Your money goes to support a small business person working hard to create and promote a creation made from the heart. Unless department store jewelry, you are building a relationship with an artist and helping them continue to share their gift with others.

 

Each of these beautiful one-of-a-kind necklaces were created by Betty (my Mom) and are available in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry online store.

Vermeil is 14 or 24K gold over sterling silver.
