This bracelet symbolizes the promises and hope we have in Psalm 23.
The Lord is my Shepherd, (white crystal) I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, (green crystal)
he leads me beside quiet waters, (blue crystal) he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness (clear crystal) for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (black crystal)
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, (brown crystal) they comfort me.
You prepare a table (brown crystal) before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil (yellow); my cup (purple crystal) overflows.
Surely goodness and love (pink crystal) will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord (gold crystal) forever.
Handcrafted with Sterling Silver
and Swarovski® Crystals.
About Laura Krämer, designer of The Psalm 23 Jewelry Collection
Laura Krämer, born and raised in Southern California, has been "beading" since 2000. Beading became simply a hobby to pass the time as Laura was laid up in bed for 4 weeks recovering from bilateral bunionectomy. A friend who came to visit brought Laura some beads and taught her the basics of jewelry making. Laura's original intent was to pass the time and even make some jewelry for herself. Instead she began making jewelry as gifts for friends who came to offer her a meal during her recovery. Before she could even walk again, people were giving her orders to buy her jewelry designs.
But God has much larger plans for Laura...
In 2003, Laura's Pastor, Fraser Venter of Cucamonga Christian Fellowship in Rancho Cucamonga, California challenged his congregation to meditate daily on Psalm 23 during a five-week sermon series.
Laura said, " I usually need something tangible to help me have a focal point in my daily reflections. I would read the Psalm each morning but felt that there has got to be a better way to reflect on and memorize it while going through my daily routine."
During this time, she was at work creating new jewelry designs while Psalm 23 whirled about in her mind the two ideas collided as one thought. She reflects today, " I am not known for scripture memorization, but as I began to read each verse and found a matching color that would correspond, I continued throughout the passage." The words of the Psalm seemed to come alive as she worked and prayed through the scripture passage that day.
A Message of Hope
People often share their stories of how God is using this inspirational jewelry to provide hope, healing and blessings in numerous ways far beyond what we had ever anticipated. Their stories include the loss of a loved one, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, military and armed forces personnel, depression, drug addiction and grief. The list continues to grow, both within the United States and around the world.
With each jewelry piece we include "Psalm 23- A Message of Hope," CD that includes the message series Pastor Fraser gave, we hope it will inspire you and help you in your own spiritual growth. Laura also shares her personal story on the CD as well. As a further commitment to ministry, Laura K Designs, Inc. donates a portion of the proceeds back to ministries within Cucamonga Christian Fellowship reserved to help sponsor counseling and other Pastoral Care ministries.
