| More Info: | Proverbs 31 Bracelet A Woman of Noble Character The woman of noble character described in Proverbs 31:10-31 has long been studied by women striving to attain the same Godly character. The Proverbs 31 bracelet gives such women the opportunity to not only carry these important words of wisdom in their heart, but also around their wrists! This celebrated chapter of timeless wisdom is brought to life through bold colors and thought-provoking symbolism; each bead or charm represents one or more verses. Follow along as this symbolism is revealed… Beginning with the end displaying the red bead, the meanings are given in the order that the beads and charms appear on the bracelet. The small, clear, silver-lined beads scattered throughout the bracelet represent the “snow” (vs. 21) or trials of life that may come at any time, and yet this woman has no need to worry because she holds strong to her virtues and is well prepared. The first red bead reminds us that “she is worth far more than rubies,” (vs. 10). Verses 11&12 confirm this value, “Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all of the days of her life.” The clear bead with gold flex represents the product of her work. “She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands,” (vs. 13). The first charm displays “Proverbs 31” on one side, and on the other a picture of a ship. “She is like a merchant ship, bringing her food from afar,” (vs. 14). The first yellow bead represents the sunrise. “She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls,” (vs. 15). The purple bead signifies grapes. “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard,” (vs. 16). Verse 17 also tells us that she is resourceful and hardworking. The next yellow bead represents the light of her lamp. “She sees that her trading is profitable and her lamp does not go out at night,” (vs. 18). The long blue bead, representing a spindle, is meaningful for its shape, rather than its color. “In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers,” (vs. 19). The second charm pictures a hand with a heart inside, which points us to verse 20, “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy." The other side of this charm displays artist Deirdre Olson’s signature “Dei,” the mark that this bracelet is an original design. The large red bead next represents her love and concern for her family. “When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet,” (vs. 21). The small purple bead represents her. “...she is clothed in fine linen and purple,” (vs. 22). The size of this bead is also significant. She is humble and views her family (the previous red bead) as more important than herself. The third charm pictures two intertwining circles (wedding rings) representing the strength of her marriage. “Her husband is respected at the city gate,” (vs. 23). Ultimately it represents the strength and importance of all of her close relationships. The other side of this charm pictures a sash, a common piece of clothing in her day. “She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes,” (vs. 25). The next yellow bead reminds us that her virtues are as valuable as gold, worthy of great treasure. “She is clothed with strength and dignity… She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue,” (vs. 25&26). Another clear bead with gold flex represents grain and reminds us that she “does not eat the bread of idleness,” (vs. 27). The final charm reveals the word “blessed” on one side and “fears the Lord” on the other. “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also… Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all,” (vs. 28&29). Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised,” (vs. 30). The remaining two beads represent the two doors of a gate. The color blue also signifies a blue ribbon, reminding us that there is reward for her faithfulness. “Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate,” (vs. 31). | ||
