christian jewelry a gifts of love and loyalty

Christian jewelry is another category of Catholic gifts that is always popular and always appreciated. Probably the most popular next to artwork. Again, there is a huge collection of choices, ranging from the very basic to the very exquisite. Necklaces in the form of gold or silver crosses, crucifixes, and medals are appropriate for both men and women. Other jewelry products that make for fantastic Catholic gifts include chastity rings, prayer bracelets, and rosaries. Most of these items can be personalized with an inscription of your choice to truly make them a meaningful keepsake.

Claddagh rings and bracelets are two more examples of popular Celtic jewelry items that are replete with symbolism. Rings that have the Celtic knot design symbolize eternal and undying love; this is why they are exchanged by the bride and groom in present day wedding ceremonies – to signify their fidelity and never-ending commitment to each other. Such rings and bracelets are also given to relatives and friends as an indication of love and loyalty.

Whether given as gifts or maintained as personal keepsakes, these unique pieces can be enjoyed just for their beauty alone.

Christian jewelry - Witness Bracelet

More and more people are embracing their Christian faith, but they want to share it rather than shout it. Silversmith, Kay Zoretic has found a way to help them do that. A somewhat shy Christian herself, Zoretic remembered a little bracelet made by children learning about the Christian faith in Vacation Bible School. Using handmade silver beads from Indonesia and Thailand, along with gemstones in the seven teaching colors. She recreated the Witness Bracelet, instead of the little plastic beads.

The faith Christian jewelry pieces have expanded into an entire collection call Quietly Christian. This grouping includes the original Witness Jewelry in both bracelet and necklace form, message pieces which include Zoretic's hand forged silver bracelets, pendants and necklaces - featuring stamped messages, words of affirmation, favorite scriptures and quotes - and finally, the Fishers of Men pieces. All the Fishers of Men pieces incorporate elements of the sea and are in reference to the words of Christ to Peter and Andrew when He encouraged them to take up their nets and follow Him to become Fishers of Men.

Encouragement Bracelets have also found their way into the collection. These are based on Philippians and are created for people who are going through a difficult time.
