encouragement gifts

Carolina Quiroa from Guatemala designs this dreamy sterling silver necklace with a pendant that features the word 'faith'. This inspirational necklace is the perfect reminder to always have faith.

Balinese artisan Karang Adiguna crafts a luminous design inspired by flowers. This sterling silver pendant necklace features an orchid petal with a shiny high polish finish, making an accessory perfect for any occasion. Orchids symbolize beauty, love and luxury, adding a special meaning to the item.

Three lovely charms grace this pendant necklace by Eka Devi. A sterling crescent moon and an ornate globe-shaped bell mingle with a rainbow moonstone oval that sends out silver rays. Considered the sacred stone of the moon goddess, moonstone is related to motherly love, support and encouragement while being protective of women and nature.

Also called "angel necklaces" and "harmony balls," such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. Some wear it on a short chain like an amulet. Others prefer a chain that lets the pendant reach to the belly and the delicate sounds are thought to soothe the mother and the baby she is carrying. Some believe it summons a guardian angel, thus making it a symbol of loving protection.

Delicate filigree leaves embrace the mystique of chrysocolla. Alfredo Inga sets the beautiful stones in handcrafted silver jewelry. Petals embrace the gem in a beautiful pendant on an ornate necklace. Matching earrings intensify the effect.
