  1. My favorite pieces of jewelry are my wedding set & my eternity rings (Birthstones – 1 for each of my 2 children) They remind me of the most important people in my life!

  2. My favorite piece of jewelry is a necklace my husband and both sons gave me. It is a silver pendant in the shape of four people hugging – a mother, father, and two children. This necklace symbolizes the love and bond between the most precious people in my life that God has given me. My husband is my best friend, and I am honored and humbled that God has entrusted me to be the momma of two precious boys. Ultimately, this necklace reminds me of the love of Christ – because without Him, our little family would not have the bond and love that we do!

  3. My grandmothers original wedding ring. He mailed it to her from Hawaii when he was stationed there during the war.
    I love the story behind it. And my grandparents were my first strong example of loving God and living joyfully in him. My grandmother is still my favorite person to talk with about our Lord!

  4. My favorite piece of jewelry is the string of pearls that my husband bought for me while on a mission trip to Jamaica. He knew that it was hard for me while he was gone and this was a wonderful surprise when he returned.

  5. What an amazing and wonderful ministry opportunity you have through Proverbs 31 Ministries! My favorite piece of jewelry is a sapphire cross necklace that my brother gave me for my 15th birthday. It is so special to me because he passed away just four months after giving it to me. It helps me remember that no matter what we go through, God is always there for us! It is also a reminder that I will see my brother again someday and I am so looking forward to that day :-).

  6. WHAT AN AWESOME WAY TO HELP OUR SISTERS IN CHRIST. MY HEART SWELLS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROGRAM AND ORGANIZATION IS DOING FOR THEM. GOD IS TRULY AT WORK HERE! thank you for sharing the story and the awesome work that is being done for these ladies. how thankful they must be to all of you, I THANK YOU for making changes in this broken world that matter to the people who are all blessed by this. You are making us all very proud :)

  7. My wedding ring and my necklace with a cross…they are both from my husband. We have been married for 23 yrs. I love my husband very much. The two pieces remain with me always. :)

  8. My favorite piece of jewelry is the brooch my mother gave me when I was young :) She told me that whenever I felt inadequate, to remember her and the errors we all make in life. I miss her so much :)

  9. My favorite piece of jewelry is my wedding set. To me it is a symbol that my husband will love me forever, it tonds me of the vow we spoke as encourages me to fight for our marriage every day. It also reminds me that I am not only his bride but the bride of Christ and he will never forsake me.
    Thank you for doing this!

  10. Other than my wedding band, my “Nathan” ring is my favorite. It reminds me everyday that God has given me a special little miracle. We can’t have kids through pregnancy, but God blessed us with a son through adoption. I am eternally grateful for this. I treasure this ring as much as my wedding band.

  11. My wedding band for sure. But my boys have gotten me one of those charm bracelets and they get me a new charm for different occasions. Love it!

  12. My favorite piece of jewelry is a silver locket that my husband gave me. It holds his photo as well as my son’s. A little treasure where I am able to keep them both near me.

  13. An amethyst signet ring that was my late husband’s when he was a little boy. It is bent and beaten up, but I love it.

  14. My wedding ring set I’ve been honored and blessed to wear for 20 years and a necklace I received on my first Mother’s Day.

  15. My favorite piece of jewelry is a necklace with a pendant honoring St. Jude. Last year was one of the most difficult of my life. My husband and I both were suffering from depression (which is a bit of an understatement), and our marriage of 22 years nearly ended. He was hospitalized in September, we separated in October, and fortunately by Thanksgiving we were on the path to reconciliation. I ended up in an outpatient psychiatric day treatment program to help me recover from a long history of past hurts, depression, and codependent behaviors. During those months I prayed not only to God, but to St. Jude to ask for help and intercession for myself, my husband, and our marriage. The program I attended was a faith based program, which I desperately needed as I had all but lost my faith.
    During that 2 week program, I ordered the necklace because God had already answered prayers about my marriage and He continued to do so during my treatment. I wanted to honor St Jude for being an advocate for my “hopeless” situation. As a result of my treatment, I have regained my faith in God, and now put him before anyone else. I know He is my strength and my rock, and that He is all I need. My husband and I are rebuilding our marriage and I feel like a new person who has hope and joy. That necklace serves as a daily reminder of healing.

  16. My favorite piece of jewelry is a cross necklace. I was in a domestic violence shelter that God hand picked for me. I never thought I would in that kind of situation, God put Christian woman all around me! When it was time for me to move out the woman who had held me, prayed for/with me, and helped me get my life back together gave be a cross necklace. That was 2009, I wear it everyday, it reminds me of what God can and will do when you stop trying to do it all yourself and rely on Him! I have since remarried a wonderful Christian man, I thank God for his grace and forgiveness. If not for the cross we wouldn’t have them.

  17. My favourite piece of jewelry is my engagement ring. We have been married for four years but I feel like our journey began when my hubby proposed. Because he is a builder everyone made jokes that I would proposed to with a rusty nail bent into a ring! I had a great fun showing off my beautiful diamond ring ;-)

  18. My antique never been worn wedding ring that my husband found after I showed him my grandmother’s ring. It is unique and remind me every day what Godblessed me with! :)

  19. I wanted an anniversary band that would incorporate the birthstones of my family. I was struggling with how I wanted it to look, when my daughter went to our friend (who is a jeweler) and demanded he make a ring for me. He immediately dropped his current projects and helped her find a mold and stones for the ring. She picked out the birthstone for hers and her sister’s birthdays. It was the most unexpected gift I’ve ever received.

  20. I received a “pearl and diamond” necklace, earrings and bracelet for Christmas from my grandson. He told me “It must be worth a thousand dollars”. Price didn’t matter because he picked it out and was so proud that he got his MeMe some jewelry for Christmas. Priceless!

  21. My favorite piece of jewelry and the one I never take off is my wedding band :-) It represents almost 35 years of a committed marriage and our devotion to each other.

  22. I do not have a lot of jewelry. I have a wedding/engagement ring and a few pieces of costume things. My favorite by far is the Redeemed bracelet I have that was part of a fundraiser for Village of Hope Guatemala :)

  23. My favorite piece of jewelry is my wedding band. It is very simple piece with several small diamonds. The reason it means so very much to me is that this ring was my grandfather’s wedding band. I can still picture his hand wearing that ring. It symbolizes the long marriage between my grandparents and the hope that my own marriage will follow their example. It is always the story behind the piece of jewelry that means the most to me. Whenever I wear something, I smile thinking of the person that gave it to me and why they chose that piece for me.
