TRUE LOVE




"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." John 15:13 
The recent new of the events that unfolded in Libya on 9/11/2012 have been tugging on my heart  lately and it drew me back to the bible verse John 15:13.  The ultimate price one can pay is to lay down his life. Marinating on this verse made me think of the cross. I decided to create a piece symbolizing the ultimate love.

Rose Quartz is often thought of as the stone of love. Since it symbolizes love, I decided to use it as the focal point of this necklace. I wire wrapped the rose quartz stone and paired it with a small cross charm.  The cross symbolizes the ultimate price Jesus paid by laying down his life.  Jesus paid a debt he did now owe because he loved us (sinners) so much.  It truly is the ultimate sacrifice.  

This necklace is currently available in my etsy shop which can be found at www.LuvAlisa.com.
