Fashion & Compassion Bracelet Giveaway
Welcome to those of you who read my Proverbs 31 devotion called Home Shaping. {If you haven’t read it yet, click here to catch up with the rest of us}
As mentioned in the devotion, I am giving away a bracelet from Fashion and Compassion.
We at Proverbs 31 Ministries are partnering with Fashion & Compassion to support at-risk women and youth, while offering a unique handmade product.
Semi-precious gemstone beads have been hand-strung using dark brown leather cords, while a stunning hammered brass button featuring the words “Psalm 62:7″ completes the bracelet. The button is handmade and is the centerpiece of this trendy, wrap-style bracelet. The bracelet includes two adjustable closures measuring 14″ and 15” in length.
Fashion & Compassion is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women overcome poverty and injustice through Christ-centered economic empowerment. This bracelet was made by exploited and at-risk women and youth in Charlotte, NC and Mexico. A portion of the proceeds benefit programs fighting sex-trafficking and serving at-risk youth in Charlotte, NC.
A tag with the product story, autographed by the artisan, is attached to the bracelet. Please join us in prayer for these artisans in their struggle to find salvation, refuge and freedom in our Mighty God.

Besides my wedding ring, I have a sterling silver bracelet that my husband gave me when we were first dating..some 20 years ago! Like my wedding ring, I am never without it! It is my favorite piece of jewlery! It has such special meaning to me!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a cross in tones of blue and turquoise. It has a beautiful glow to it, and it is always comforting to wear the cross.
My favourite is a charm bracelet given to me by my husband – over the 15 years we’ve been married, he’s added charms to celebrate various life events – new babies, our little angel gone from us too soon, musical notes to remind me to sing every day and a heart to remind me of his love for me. So precious to be reminded daily of my many many blessings in life x
My wedding ring is my favorite piece of jewelry because it represents the second greatest gift God gave me, my husband, who is my example and best friend.
My noah’s ark collection, my husband gave me my first piece and I became a collector every since.
My favorite piece of jewelry is my mother’s engagement ring and wedding band. It is especially meaningful because she passed away 20 years ago and it is the only thing I have of hers.
My favorite piece of jewelry is my necklace which says “Grandmas Kids.” Below this is a half circle which displays the charms (boy or girl and ‘gemstone’ of the month in which they were born) of 17 of our 21 grandchildren. They are literally very close to my heart when I am wearing it and I feel especially blessed!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a necklace made of assorted colored beads and noodles. It was the first necklace my daughter made me when she was in kindergarten. It is beautiful, and I feel loved every time I look at it.

I have a sterling silver ring with the word Christ on it. Every time I glance at it during the day I am reminded of my Savior.
My favorite jewerly item is a heart necklace. I like it so much because it is really easy to put on(no clasps to mess with). A second favorite would be any of the pins(brooches)that were my mother’s. They remind me of her.
A diamond heart necklace my ex fiancé gave me. It was intended as a valentines present, but that was also the day I found out my baby is a girl. She’s two now and he’s gone, but the necklace reminds me of the first time I saw her.
My favorite piece of jewelry would be my opal and diamond ring from my great-grandmother, Oma. She lived with my family when I was young, and I would always put it on when I would play dress-up. She never got mad about it, and she always let me play with it. She was my best friend growing up, and even though she died almost 15 years ago, I can still feel close to her through the memories attached to the ring. :)
My engagement/wedding ring and my husband’s wedding ring are my favorite pieces of jewelry. In addition to them being symbols of our vows to one another, the diamond in my engagement ring and the diamond chips in his wedding band, belonged to my grandmother, so they are family heirlooms as well.
I have several pieces of jewelry that are very special, though the one that I feel is the most precious to me is a white gold ring with a tangerine colored cameo. It belonged to my Mom’s mom who passed away when my Mom was just 9 years old, from ovarian cancer. My Mom always wore it everyday and there was always a warm tenderness as she looked at it on her hand when she spoke of her in a loving and tender way of the generosity and kindness that her mother possessed. My Mother had this same character- A Proverbs 31 woman. We lost my Mother 9 years ago this past Saturday to ovarian cancer as well. She is my role model- she was a Proverbs 31 woman in every way. I strive to have the spiritual closeness to God that she did. I miss her so. Having this ring is a special gift of two very special women in my life who loved God and his ways and put him first and reflected this to all who knew them.
My great grandmother’s wedding ring. It is small and petite just like she was and reminds me every time I look at it what true love looks like. My own wedding ring too :)
My engagement ring…..the diamond in it was my husbands gran,others and mothers. It’s amazing to have something that has been apart of his family for so long
On our 21st anniversary my sweet hubby had me take him to the jewelry store. 8 months prior, he suffered a stroke and I was and continue to care for him. He bought me a beautiful pair of diamond studs that I have never removed since that day!
I have several pieces of jewelry that are my favorites. But, top of the list is an antique ring that belonged to my late grandmother. I wear it daily and get compliments on it often. I have fond memories of her and can still see her with this ring on her hand. She was truly one of a kind – just like this ring.
My favorite piece of jewelry is the last necklace and bracelet my husband gave me before he died! It does and always will hold a special place in my heart!
My favorite piece of jewelry is a diamond solitaire necklace that my husband gave me on our 25th anniversary (almost 18 years ago now). I almost lost it a few years ago when the rabbit holding the diamond wore through on one prong. Fortunately, my daughter saw what was happening and I had it reset and saved the diamond!
The giveaway bracelet is beautiful! Blessings.
I have a Family circle necklace depicting 2 parents and four children. My friend gave it to me on my youngest son’s (4th child ) birthday. He had passed away 6 months prior. I cherish it.
I have two very special pieces of Jewelry purchased by my husband. For our 28th wedding anniversary we went to the Mall. It was after my husband’s first stroke and it was part of his physical therapy (or so I thought). On that day we were looking in the Jewelry store windows and he saw something at a National Store and wanted to look closer. We went to the food court and he disappeared for a bit. He came back totally downhearted because the salesman at this establishment told him she could not help him fill out some paperwork. He had some shakiness and it was difficult to read his writing. I offered to fill it out but he refused and said I will figure something else out. I had my original wedding ring on and one of the small diamonds was loose. So we took it to Whitehall’s to see if they could fix it. While I was being kept busy by the young woman working on my ring, my husband was talking at the other end of the counter with another young man. The next thing I know the young lady returns my ring and asks me if I will please go and get her a smoothy at the food court. Well I was glad to. She had sent me to the farthest eatery from the store. Her friend also had trouble making the smoothy and had to start over a couple of times. (they were still keeping me busy). Looking back it was so sweet. The two sales folks took my husband to a desk and proceeded to fill out the paper work for him using his drivers license and a credit site online. He was looking at a wedding set that was a one of a kind design being clearanced, and really did not think he could afford it. But they told him that was ok they would know shortly and however it turned out they would work something out so he could get me a gift that day. When the paper work came back the young man said what is her size. He told them and this set was a perfect fit and when everything was said and done, he was able to get the set and have money to spare. These 2 young people took service and caring to an entire new level. When I returned to the shop the young man and Johnny were grinning and the young lady had tears in her eyes. They had wrapped it but Johnny wanted to make sure it fit so I opened it and the only time it has been off my hands since was when they soldered the pieces together. These rings not only symbolize the love and caring of a marriage that is almost 37 years strong, but a true show of grace and God’s love from two strangers. This was one of my sweet turning points in understanding Grace and how it comes from unexpected places from our Eternal Father, These two will never know how much they touched a couple and many others as this story has been repeated. Oh btw I did not see the rings until after the sale was done!
Did not mean to write a book, but what can I say? God Bless!
My favorite, My birthstone necklace for each of my five children. Yesterday was Sanctity of Human Life Sunday and I continue to say a prayer for those hurting. God Bless you!
I like the stackable bracelets. If I have a bracelet on I usually have multiple bracelets on. =)
