In this necklace, baroque pearls, faceted citrine crystals, and aquamarine dance together to form a delightful display of gems while the chain itself is sterling silver overlaid with 14k gold.
Most of the pieces available to the WAR world through the Founder’s Corner are made by rescued or at-risk women who gifted me personally, but the story behind this necklace is different. This particular piece was made by a Thai woman we all call “the grouchy one.” From day one, I’ve visited her store for inspiration and ideas because she has a knack for unusual pieces that wear well. No one likes to go there with me though because she’s a grouch! I’ve learned in life that grouchy people are unhappy people. It reminds me of watching Sesame Street with my kiddos long ago, and how we would talk about “The Grouch.” I decided this woman needed some “loving on.” After the experience of Covid-19, the first time I walked back into her shop she practically jumped up and hugged me. I had finally broken through the veneer! Covid-19 had intensified her loneliness and threatened her business. My guess is her other customers gave up on “the grouchy one.”
Wear this necklace as a reminder that the grouchy people in our lives are desperately lonely and more in need of our attention than anyone. Mother Teresa said, “There is a worse poverty than the lack of things… it’s the poverty of the soul called loneliness.” Indeed, our nation is a third-world country when it comes to loneliness. Love on those lonely people in your life. Deep within their heart is a desperate person crying for love, and just like each of us, they are gems, cut and shorn like the facets on these stones.
Where this product came from
Supportive Product
World Wide
Stories capture what goes unseen. They open closed doors, reveal hidden evils, and celebrate recovery. Stories reach across the globe, finding their way into our hands and hearts. Voices once silenced by abuse, addiction, and abandonment become loud cries for justice through the power of the written word. Heart-wrenching accounts of slavery and exploitation awaken communities to dark realities and call them to action. All this begins with you. When you make a purchase in support of rescued and at-risk individuals, you do not just gain a book or a bracelet—you help to rewrite the stories of rescued and at-risk women, transforming knowledge into rescue and words into a way of life.
