One of a Kind

"Then Jesus said, 'I am the light to the world, and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.'" - John 8:12 TPT When I first started to work on this pendant, I wasn't sure what it would signify.  Thoughts ran through my head about levels of faith, the seasons that we go through, but those didn't seem to fit.  It finally came to me while I was spending time in His word, specifically Isaiah 9, after completing the pendant - Jesus shines through us and all around us. He is our guiding light, "Prince of Peace", our "Good Shepherd", and "our Everlasting Father."  We are called to be salt and light.  This gorgeous amethyst gemstone is truly one-of-a-kind.  It radiates light from the center outward just like our Savior does within us.  He is the light of the world and He is the light within each of us - let Him shine through you. Pendant is made from a circular semi-precious gemstone of naturally-occurring white Quartz and Amethyst composite from Zambia set in solid fine silver with a solid sterling silver bail. Sterling Silver chain sold separately - available here. Pendant is approximately 1 inch in diameter. Comes with brown leather chain necklace with sterling silver lobster clasp

We are changed by the renewing of our mind according to Scripture. As we fill our minds with that which is good, right, and true, we become more like Jesus.  Rainforest Jasper, or more accurately, Rhyolite, goes through a metamorphosis (change) as well. This beautiful semi-precious gemstone that considered to be full of hope, renewal, invigoration, and energy was once liquified volcanic rock full of hot air.  As that material cooled, crystals and other structures began to form - it was renewed.  It was changed from something less than ideal into something beautiful. Each earring weighs less than 6 grams (The average weight of dangle earrings is 5-8 grams.) Gemstone is bezel-set in solid fine silver Approximately 1.33" inches in length For pierced ears French hooks in solid sterling silver  [Can be made into two matching pendants for a small additional charge; please note custom order details in FAQ.]

Let’s start with just the words “He knows best”. There’s He – God, Yahweh, Abba, Creator, Jehovah; knows - He knows “the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:10); and best, not better but best. He knows best. He knows the plans that he has for you. He knows what is best for you. He knows what He has planned for you according to Jeremiah 29:11 He has a plan “to give you a hope and a future” and He knows what it will take to get you there. He knows best. When I started on this particular piece of jewelry, the opal was actually bought with the intention to become a pair of earrings. There is a mirrored piece of beautiful Peruvian blue opal with a pattern like I’ve never seen before or since, but as I crafted the bezel wire that goes around the gemstone, sized the fine silver back plate, soldered everything together, assembled the top of the earrings with the posts, connected all of the pieces, and began to set to opal itself, I realized that somethings were not falling into place the way that I had planned.  The earrings were heavier than I had anticipated. I continued to work on setting the opals into their freshly crafted bezel settings and waited to set the gemstones that were meant for the top of the earrings. I had to have patience and just work on the step that I was on instead of trying to skip ahead even though I so wanted to.  (Sometimes we have to have patience, because while we think we know what we’re doing, if we rush into it, we may mess the whole thing up.)   See, I could hardly wait to see the completed piece that I had been envisioning, but I could see that there might be another plan, so I placed the blue opal into the bezel setting of the second earring and fit the bezel walls around it.  Again, I noticed that it seemed a little heavy and that they weren’t perfect mirrors of each other.  In fact, there was a pretty obvious difference between the two opals.  It was then that I realized why it was so important that I waited to set those top gemstones as I had to make a decision. Though I did not like the decision that I was making, undoing something that I had done, I had to cut a part of my hard work off and split something that I planned as being a pair into three separate pieces. This pair of absolutely gorgeous gemstones that I thought were going to be a pair of earrings were going to now be two pendants, because they were too heavy to be earrings and didn’t match.  That’s when I remembered that there’s a Scripture that talks about the plans of man are many but the purpose of God will prevail.  As I gave up my plans and lopped off of the top of the earrings, I saw two incredibly similar, but very, very different pendants emerge.  I realized how incredibly unique and beautiful they were. They may look almost the same, but they are so uniquely different.  His plans that He knew from the beginning prevailed – now there’s a pair of post earrings that will get used for something else that He has already inspired and two amazing pendants all because He knows best (and His plans will succeed).
