July 2007Sterling silver My friend Jenn, having overcome several challenges in her life, decided to publicly to reaffirm her faith and to be baptized within her church.

The loop of the bale (shown here without a chain for clarity) makes the down piece look kind of like a shepherd's crook, giving it some nice Twenty-Third Psalm action as well. Show more
