I originally found Agape Love Boutique because of this piece–her Water of Life necklace. So pretty. So unique. And, Maria-Isabel, the artist behind the store, gives 75% of the profits from the sales of this necklace to Compassion’s Water of Life which works to provide safe water, healthy lifestyle education, and sanitation services to people in need around the world.
Definitely a great way to shop with purpose.
I also found at her store a necklace that I fell in love with that doesn’t support a charity but is so full of purpose that I can’t help but share about it.
She created a mother’s necklace design that not only recognizes the children you are mothering now but also recognizes children you are not mothering–maybe babies miscarried, maybe a baby placed for adoption, maybe a child who passed away. There are the pearls in the nest–and white pearls outside the nest, on the chain to remember.
I love it.
She even has a necklace for mothers who perhaps lost their only child.
Isn’t that stunning?
I’m thinking it could make a very special birth mother or foster mother gift.
And, as a mama who has experienced the sorrow of losing 4 babies, I needed this necklace.
I sat down with my children and let them each pick the color pearl they wanted to represent themselves. Even Lydia chose her own color.
And, I now have a precious treasure to remember all my treasures. When I wear it, Lydia touches the pink pearl and says, “Lydia.” Totally warms my heart.
