HOPE ANCHORS THE SOUL





It’s been a while since I’ve updated my etsy shop with anything new.  I really feel like I’ve dropped the ball this year.  It’s not that I meant to, but sometimes life just takes over. 
While in Los Angeles recently I decided to start stocking up on some beading supplies. When I hit the jewelry district and ran across these beautiful Amazonite beads, I knew I HAD to get them. Since summer is right around the corner, I decided on replicating my most popular design into a fresh crisp, summertime color pattern.  That’s when this necklace was born.
From time to time I like to just research the stones I use.  Upon researching a little bit about the Amazonite stone I ran across what some believe it means. Apparently it’s a stone of truth, honor, communication, integrity and hope.  The word HOPE jumped off the page at me.  It is a word that has become a cornerstone focus in my personal life the last couple of years. It brought Hebrews 6:19 - Hope Anchors the soul - to my mind. Hope is probably the single most important factor in life.  Without hope, we truly have nothing. It is something to cling to and preserve when times are difficult.  Some days having hope in what God has promised us is the only way to make it through.  It is my desire that this piece can bring comfort to those who wear it by giving them the simple reminder of the hope we may have in Gods promises.  
This necklace is now available in my etsy shop (www.LuvAlisa.com). I also have a version made in bronze as well.  Feel free to stop in and take a look around.
