Faith hope and love - three new listings

A more excellent way - sterling silver bracelet with faith hope and love - $43


This graceful sterling silver bracelet has three oval charms built into its length: faith, hope, and love. When life is overwhelming you, just look down at your wrist and re-center yourself on the only things in life that will outlast you; the things which really matter: faith, hope, and love.
 

Faith Hope and Love antique brass and lapis bracelet with curlicue hook clasp - $25


Before Paul wrote his famous treatise on the merits of love in 1 Cor 12, he wrote about the greatest spiritual gifts: gifts of healing, teaching, prophecy. He instructed the Corinthians to earnestly desire these spiritual gifts. And yet, at the close of the chapter, he qualifies this teaching by saying, "Yet I show you a more excellent way.”

He went on to explain that, unlike the other gifts, faith, hope, and love are abiding gifts, meaning they will outlast all others. When the world is finished and all else fades away, these three will remain: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love.

This antiqued brass bracelet has the charms “faith hope & love”, an adorable and secure curlicue hook and loop clasp, and delightful lapis charms. When life is overwhelming you, just look down at your wrist and re-center yourself on the only things in life that will outlast you; the things which really matter: faith, hope, and love.




 
 
This bracelet is identical to the one listed above except for its clasp. The popular variety of lapis in this bracelet has beautiful inclusions of chrysocolla (copper silicate), a highly prized blue-green gem stone. The links and findings are of an antique-look, oxidized brass metal.
