Holiday Jewelry Gift Guide 2012

Pure Love's Top 10 Picks

“I hear that in many places something has happened to Christmas; that it is changing from a time of merriment and carefree gaiety to a holiday which is filled with tedium; that many people dread the day and the obligation to give Christmas presents…(Julia Peterkin, A Plantation Christmas.)" Yet, there is no need to cringe at the thought of giving gifts- at least for her - on Christmas day. Pure Love has some fabulous handmade pieces that would make for great Christmas presents. Below are my top 10 picks.

10. Ashes 

 $95.00

This striking necklace is 28.5” long and it consists of sterling silver hardware and smokey quartz. Smokey quartz, in general, is a fairly durable stone that is used as a gift of love; this is most likely, because smokey quartz symbolizes warmth and love. Furthermore, it is known to amplify energy and facilitate growth and awareness; hence, it is excellent for meditation.  Consequently, this necklace would make for a great gift of love during the holidays. 

 

9. Native

$25.00

These black lightweight earrings has true ethnic charm. In the Native American culture bears are believed to symbolize physical strength and leadership, while arrowheads represents the hunter and the adventurer in each person. Thus, the upside down bear-like beads paired with the arrowheads in this piece represents courage. Consequently, these earrings are not for everyone; they are designed to be worn by a courageous soul.

  5.Sacrifice

$28.00

Crosses are always a great gift to give, especially to a Christian; they're a reminder of God's grace and love - "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." (John 3:16) This piece incorporates a large sized cross along with red and black crystal beads.
