BRACELET’S MEANING
There are 10 Stainless or 14k Gold plated beads on each side that represent the Ten Commandments.
The red, gold, and green crystals represent Faith, Hope, and Love: (1 Corinthians 13:13), and the greatness of these is LOVE.
The cross represents your Christian faith to the world.
The two green crystals on either side of the clasp function as
a reminder to:
GO into the world with LOVE and FORGIVENESS in your heart.
TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.
ECONOMY!
We are living in an uncertain economy with rising prices that are out of control. We have extensively searched the global market to select a manufacturer who would replicate exactly our exclusive bracelet design, adhere to our quality standards, and provide us the best prices on the planet!”
“As an interesting aside, the range of prices was 165% involving our search from Oct 2022 to Jan 23, and from high to low. At the high end of the spread the bracelet became less cost effective, without significantly raising the price of the bracelet. We believe this option is less desirable.”
Howard Highsmith, President of Highsmith Group
