Title: Christian jewelry Post by: kittiara on January 21, 2005, 04:12:04 PM I admit to not having checked if there was a thread on this already , I just wanted to ask about it.
Is Christian jewelry okay to wear? Or is there anything about it in the bible (as in not wearing religious symbols etc). I used to have a necklace that was silver, thin, with a pendant in the shape of a book - hard to explain but it had two silver parts that came together and looked like a book, with the engraving "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the bible tells me so". I really loved it, sadly don't have it anymore after moving a lot of times, but I would love to have and wear something like it again. It might bring some comfort when needed, as such things can do.

There are not too many scripture verses about jewellry. I have had some interesting experiences meeting women who were lovely gold cross jewellry. I would often ask them about their jewellry and what it meant to them. Often they would reply that the jewellry was a gift but they were not Christians. So why are non-Christians wearing Christian symbols? They would tell me it was just sentimental or "fashion". If you were a cross, you might be put to questions about your faith. You should decide what your jewellry means to you.l I don't often hear too many complaints about Christian symbols in jewellry. I did know a women who taught at a public school who was upsetting parents by wearing a pentagram (wiccan pagan symbol). I don't know if public schools were you live are so secularlized that Christian symbols on jewellry are not allowed. They are not allowed in France and some Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia. So we might be thankful if we are allowed to wear our Christian symbols freely.
