Purple Windows to the Soul

Item # JE-045  $42.00



When I was in grade school my parents sent us to a private school.  This meant we all had to go to chapel every day, just after first period.  The chapel had 10 stained glass windows along the sides, and a super ornate rose transom window at the back, above the balcony.  The shapes and colors were so vibrant that they provided lots of fuel for imagination, even if the chapel service wasn't.  These marquise-cut amethyst drops remind me of those moments stolen from attentive prayer and bible reading.

These Drops were obtained from a supplier with a fair trade agreement with India. Instead of simply getting a fair trade certification, which pays for a large amount of administrative fees, this particular supplier checks on the groups she has agreements with several times a year, ensuring that all employees are well treated and paid for their artistic efforts.

All findings and settings are 0.925 sterling silver.
