Religious Jewelry and Self Worth

Religious Jewelry and Self Worth


I've been researching Religious jewelry for Women on the web for eight years and I have always seen religious jewelry as a means of reflecting ones faith. Using Christian jewelry to be a subtle shinning light by wearing cross necklaces, cross earrings or cross rings etc.

But I've recently heard of a situation where a young lady is if firmly planted on gospel sod, who loves her Savior but has had some self esteem issues. A small but important thing happened to change her appearance and her self esteem grew like a wild fire.

I got to thinking that things that "improve" ones look could improve ones self esteem. I realized that Sterling silver, the new gold, is an affordable way to wear jewelry. Also in the same though process realized that religious jewelry could do several things for the wearer:
  • Reflect ones faith in ones religion.
  • The fashionable religious jewelry could be that missing piece in your wardrobe that gives the little bit more self esteem you may need.
  • Be a fashionable way to visually remind you of Gods love for you everytime you see or feel the jewelry.
  • Promote your religion.
Even though I am promoting my line of religious and cross jewelry and cross necklaces for women the idea is still a legit idea and we provide high quality true .925 sterling silver Women's cross jewelry as well as jewelry for other religions.

Click on Women's Cross Necklaces and see the thousands of selections that we provide just in the Christian jewelry arena as well as sterling silver religious jewelry that covers Buddhist jewelry, Hindu jewelry and Jewish jewelry.

Mens Cross Necklaces

Mens Cross Necklaces


Mens cross necklaces are increasingly popular as men are wearing more cross necklaces to show their fatih in their Christian ideals.

What makes a mens cross necklace? How is a cross necklace different than a mens cross necklace? There is the old adage that a cross necklace by any other name is still a cross necklace. What makes them different is a matter of opinion. What size and what style appeals to men is what makes it a mens cross necklace.

One could say that a mens cross necklaces are ones where the cross pendants are larger or the cross necklace is more of a manly design. That all may be true but that's not all that determines what a mens cross necklace really is. There is no way one can say Cross necklace "A" is a mens cross necklace and cross necklace "B" is a womens cross necklace. The reason is peoples opinion varies as much as people vary.


Now, having said all that, HandCraftedCollectibles.com, the worlds biggest collection of sterling silver cross necklaces does its best to determine by eight years of sales experience and opinion to divide cross necklaces into individual collections of mens cross necklaces, women's cross necklaces, Celtic cross necklaces, Filigree cross necklaces, Fleur de Lis Cross Necklaces, and Ankh Cross Necklaces.

Man In The Maze Jewelry

MAN IN THE MAZE JEWELRY

The Man in the Maze jewelry celebrates a unique symbol used by a few Indian tribes of the North American Indian culture. This symbol is known to have existed in American Indian hyroglyphics and basket weaving.


We have a nice collection of Man in the Maze Jewelry like Man in the Maze charms and pendants.  These man in the Maze symbol is also known to have been identified as far away as Greece. It is known though mostly as a American Indian Jewelry symbol.

Here is a little more detail on the great symbol of the Man in the Maze:



There is a ancient Indian legend that says when a person is born into this world, they enter a maze of life. The beginning is at the top where Elder Brother is waiting to show the way.

The legend tells of the dead ends, detours and obstacles. The struggle to understand what can affect the physical, emotional, and spiritual growth that guides them through the maze.


If the path through the maze is traveled in harmony and balance with nature, the legend says that dreams will be found at the center of the maze, where Sun God waits. He then passes them on to the next world.

Mnay love the Man in the Maze Necklace for symbolism that is borrowed from the culture of the Native American Indians. Here's how some people look at the man in the Maze.

The symbo of the Man in the Maze is understanding the meaning of life. The maze depicts the choices we make in our journey through life. The maze illustrates the search for balance of the four aspect of the mind and body: physical, social, mental and spiritual. Successful completion of the maze help with safe passage to the other side.


Whether its a Man in the Maze charm or man in the maze pendant, as far as the jewelry is concerned it is usually worn as a man in the maze necklace. We also have a pair of maze earrings.

In jewelry, the maze can be different depending on the silversmiths artistic view.

Christian Jewelry For Men

Christian Jewelry For Men


I have been selling Religious jewelry for eight years with HandCraftedCollectibles.com. Additionaly I'm a devout Christian. I follow surveys and read a lot of articles about the state of christianity around the world. Some surveys show in the western world that Christianity and other religions are on the decline.

That saddens me not because the decrease in religions means a decrease in selling religious jewelry but from a personal religious point of view it makes me fear for their souls. Selling Men's Cross necklaces is great so that people can show their Christian beliefs but if people don't believe anymore then theirs a lot more at stake than men's cross pendants.

Reading about surveys and "experts" analysis is one thing. But the proof is in the pudding. This may seem anecdotal but it is what it is. I am on FaceBook and I came across a Facebook group called "Calling all CHRISTIANS – Let’s see how many Christians are on Facebook". I joined the group when they were about 300,000 to 400,000 members. in a week and a half or two weeks it has gone past 1.3 million members and is still growing at a huge rate.


What this means to me is that Christians are out there and they are alive and well and committed to their faith. The members I've come across and the messages I have read indicate they are great Christians with a strong faith in Jesus Christ. I am proud to be part of the group. It gives me hope as a fellow Christian.  If I am being honest I have to say that as a distant second thought as a Christian and Religious jewelry retailer I'm glad those people are out there. But mostly I am grateful these people exist to show Christianity is alive and well.

Cross Necklaces are a great and popular way to display ones christian values and the best place to get them and the place with the largest sterling silver selection is HandCraftedCollectibles.com.

Check out another place the has some great reviews on sterling silver jewelry.

Celtic Jewelry

CELTIC JEWELRY


Celtic Jewekry is one of the most popular types of thematic jewelry and has been at the height of popularity for over eight years. The reason why I say eight years is that is when i first started selling Celtic jewelry. it was the most popular thematic jewelry category of any precious metal.

Over the years it has not only held onto its lead but widened the margin of that lead a lot.

Why is Celtic jewelry so popular? I have been asking myself that question for eight years. The answer is I don't know for sure. Here are a few ideas of why I think Celtic jewelry is so important:
  • Every type of Celtic Jewelry is VERY symbolic.
  • There are shapes and sizes and designs that appeal to almost everyone.
  • The geometric designs appeal to many.
  • The rings are frequently used for Celtic wedding rings.
  • Celtic jewelry design was originally pagan but many of the symbol are now used for Religious jewelry.
  • The Celtic Cross necklaces are widely popular as Religious jewelry.
  • The Celtic Trinity Knot Jewelry is widely used as Religious Jewelry.
  • Celtic jewelry is mysterious because not all symbols have a true meaning from the days of the Celts.
Whatever the reason Celtic jewelry is vastly popular and that makes for a great gift to give just about anyone including yourself.
