"Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." (Nathaniel Hawthorne)

I love this quote from Nathaniel Hawthorne.  From this delightful quote you can see word jewelry in action. Word jewelry is a collection of sterling silver word charms and word necklaces that have words engraved on the silver word charms.

There is also another way to use word charms...combining them with other charms and pendants like this one:


This necklace comes from a website dedicated to silver Animal jewelry.

Reading from the Bible can be up;ifting and inspirational as well. Sometimes religious crosses can help you remember these positive Biblical verses as well as serve as a Christian reminder of your faith.



For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. ~ John 3:16-17




Indeed, the same can be said of
Christian crosses as the terms Christian crosses and religious crosses are essentially the same. Christian crosses can serve to inspire the christian soul and serve as a inspired reminder of the special words found in the Bible.



When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12



In case you haven't noticed, these Holy Bible passages of scriptures come from the Book of St. John.  The book of John is one of my favorite gospel books. and in the top five of all New Testament Books. What are your favorite New Testament books?



I am inserting a few Christian crosses as example crosses for this post. They are my favorite looking crosses from this HandCraftedCollectibles collection. What are your favorite crosses from their collection?



 
All of the crosses shown in this blog are the sterling silver type of Christian cross.



Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. ~ John 5:19-20



As you can see by these favorite silver cross necklaces, the religious cross genre is huge. We'll post a few more pictures of the religious cross necklace but you really need to click on religious cross and see the huge collection they have, over 6,000 sterling silver cross

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

Celtic Crosses

Celtic Crosses

Celtic crosses as a genre are made up of the Irish cross and the Celtic cross.  Celtic crosses are as popular in christian cross jewelry as they are in Celtic jewelry making them one of the most popular cross over types of silver jewelry.




The primary differences between an silver Irish cross and a silver Celtic cross is a Celtic cross has some or all the traditonal Celtic symbols and an Irish cross is a Celtic cross with the presence of one or more Irish symbols.



The Celtic cross above is a Celtic cross until the Irish clover symbol was added inside the Celtic circle. To see an amazing collection of both the Irish cross and the Celtic crosses click on Celtic cross.

Celtic Jewelry

Celtic Jewelry

Silver Celtic jewelry is are remarkable type of jewelry. Celtic jewelry has Celtic cross necklaces and Christian trinity knot jewelry. Then there are Celtic rings and Celtic necklaces to mention just a few types of Celtic jewelry. All this makes Celtic jewelry a cross over type of jewelry.



Cross over jewelry like silver Celtic jewelry is cross over from the point of view of the fact that in one genre of silver Celtic jewelry is crosses from silver Celtic jewelry to Christian jewelry and because it's a pagan type of jewelry it falls under religious jewelry.

Sign Language Jewelry

Sterling silver sign language jewelry is based on some form of the silver sign language jewelry pendant like the one shown below. The only issue is seldom do those collections have as detailed 3D ASL pendant as this one.

Religious Jewelry

Religious Jewelry

Sterling silver religious jewelry is the broadest themed jewelry in existence. Inside religious jewelry there is specific types of jewelry that fit into religious jewelry like Christian jewelry, cross jewelry, cross necklaces, Jewish jewelry, Buddha jewelry, Hindu jewelry and Celtic jewelry.

Technically Christian jewelry is is sometimes a more popular genre but it is limited to only Christian related jewelry.  Outside of a Christian country, religious jewelry may be more popular where non Christians reside in great numbers. But here in America Christian jewelry is more popular and more of a narrow focus.

Positive Daily Affirmations

Positive Daily Affirmations

Positive affirmations are single powerful words that when often repeated become part of who you are.Positive daily affirmations can be more than mere words but a strong positive sentence or statement.  Often times a positive affirmation can be a quote, poem or verse.  The concept behind positive daily affirmations is that they inspire positive thinking and because they are repeated daily or more the affect your mind and the outcome of your actions in a positive way.



We will look at a few examples of positive quotes or verses and look at how affirmation jewelry can help us remember the positive daily affirmations we are working on.



Affirmation jewelry is made up of affirmation charms or pendants that have words engraved on them. The affirmation charms come in two types of Affirmation heart charms and one Affirmation circle charm.

Our first example is a postive good quote from Lady Gaga:

"It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you."



To remember the core message of this quote you could get "life" and "destiny" affirmation charms and a silver chain. Wearing this affirmation necklace reminds you of this inspiring quote.



Here is another great positive quote:

"Cheerfulness is the very flower of health." (Proverb)

To remind you of this proverb wear the Cheer and Health affirmation charms.

These positive affirmations can be a powerful motivater and very inspiration approach to positive thinking.



"Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling."
Margaret Lee Runbeck 

Use the Happiness affirmation charm. Hopefully through these examples you can see how great sterling silver affirmation jewelry.
