Triumphs and Trials

3 NEW Jewelry Designs & meaning to go with each one!

April 28, 2016

I have struggled with infertility on and off for nine years. I know what it is like to long for a child and wonder if you will ever have a baby that looks like you or one that has my husbands eyes and my curly hair.  After 5 year of trying we witnessed a miracle and have a sweet angel. We have now been trying to give her a little sister or brother for another 4 years. Through this process we have been on a roller coaster of emotions. I have wanted something to wear with meaning but I also don’t want to advertise I HAVE INFERTILITY across my chest. So I have been researching symbols here are some that have special meaning to me.  It started with The Oak tree. 

“The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. it’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.”

-Napoleon Hill / Symbolism.wikia.com

Sometimes I feel like i’m out in a storm getting beat down. I sit and watch some of my best friends and family go through some really hard things and I watch how strong they are becoming as the “Stand in the open”.

I hope that this necklace captures the spirit of the oak, when times are hard you can draw strength from The mighty Oak Tree.
