A timeless look. A triple strand of cultured freshwater pearls in varying lengths have been hand-strung on jewelers' thread and offer an elegant touch to any outfit. Necklace is made of 5-6mm culured freshwater pearls and the strands are 16", 17.5" and 19" in length. Bracelet: 7.5".

The Endless Faith necklace recalls the simple woven palm leaves found in churches across the world each Palm Sunday and will serve as a reminder that symbols of faith can be found in the simplest things. The slight, graceful curves of the crosses flow like woven green leaves but stand firm in precious sterling silver. Rows of the Ultimate Diamond Alternative, DiamondAura, are precisely microset to give the pendant an etheral shine that dazzles with even more fire than natural diamonds. The pendant dangles from a 16" sterling chain (with 2" extender and a lobster clasp). Add this remarkable necklace to your Sunday best.

Show your true colors with this lovely Old Glory pin/pendant. On September 14, 1814, U.S. soldiers at Baltimore's Fort McHenry raise a huge American flag to celebrate a crucial victory over British forces during the War of 1812. The sight of those 'broad stripes and bright stars' inspired Francis Scott Key to write a song that eventually became the United States national anthem. Key's words gave new significance to a national symbol and started a tradition through which generations of Americans have invested the flag with their own meanings and memories. Let your patriotic colors show with this bejeweled enameled pin that can also be worn as a pendant. Jewelry specifications:

- 3/4 ctw lab-created blue sapphire

-DiamondAura diamond alternative

-Gold-finished; 1" x 1"

Inspired by the namesake of St. Ambrose Academy, the St. Ambrose Fire pendant and earrings incorporate the Academy's colors.

Much like St. Ambrose, the patron saint of bee keepers, beggars, and learning, the hand-painted stones in these pieces reflect a reality that the path to learning, knowledge, and faith is often not a uniform, unswerving experience. Rather our path to wisdom may mirror the flight of the bumblebee- perceived as erratic and chaotic to the external observer but clearly purposeful and goal-driven.

This set designed to show the complexity of the human spirit as we come to live our faith, and that regardless of what obstacles or impediments we may encounter, it is the sum of our efforts and the resulting enlightenment that reveals our true selves.

Philosophers of the first Cycle viewed faith and reason, or more broadly religion and philosophy, as diametrically opposed pursuits. St. Thomas Aquinas sought to enlighten us that these are not opposing forces but rather complementary sources to increase our understanding of our faith.

Applying reasoning to examine our faith, rather than adopting an exclusionary mindset, provides for an awareness of higher truths of faith than would be attained by relying on reasoning alone. The synergy between the colors of the stone provides energy to nourish the tree of knowledge so that it may grow to heights beyond our imagination.

My hope is that the wearer of this piece will strive for knowledge in all areas of life.

4-Way Scapular Medal

Our standard size, Four Way Scapular medal is extremely unique, in that it includes the St Benedict Medal along with the Sacred Heart, Miraculous and St Joseph. This is what makes this Four Way Scapular Medal one of the most popular - four medals in one place. In 1910, Pope St. Pius X introduced a Scapular Medal which may be substituted in most cases for any of the various scapulars. Valid enrollment in the (cloth) scapulars must, however, be made before the substitution. That is why we include a traditional brown, cloth scapular to use for investiture, along with a "Brown Scapular Blessing Card"

Medal size: 1 1/4"

Chain length: 30"

These are official "Scapular Medals," as they meet the requirements set by St. Pope Pius X. In 1910, Pope St. Pius X introduced a Scapular Medal which may be substituted in most cases for any of the various scapulars. The condition for this substitution is that this medal has an image of Our Most Holy Redeemer, Jesus Christ, showing His Sacred Heart, and the obverse that of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Valid enrollment in the (cloth) scapulars must, however, be made before the substitution. That is why we include a traditional brown, cloth scapular to use for investiture, along with a "Brown Scapular Blessing".

About Dog Tags

"Dog tags" is an informal term for the identification tags worn by military personnel, because of their resemblance to animal registration tags. The tags are primarily used for the identification of dead and wounded soldiers. In a sense, the Scapular Medal is our "Catholic Dog Tag." The Brown Scapular, revealed to St. Simon Stock in 1251, was a way for us, upon our death, to be identified as a child of God. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel said, "This will be the sign of the privilege that I have obtained for thee and for the children of Carmel; whoever dies clothed with this habit will be preserved from the eternal flames."

According to Father John Hardon's Catholic Dictionary, the scapular medal may be worn for any reason, even for reasons of convenience. The Scapular Medal has all the same indulgences that are associated with the cloth scapular. There are numerous stories that attest to the miraculous nature of the Brown Scapular (and Scapular Medal). The Brown Scapular (and Scapular Medal) is a powerful weapon against Satan and can help us along the road to holiness.
