One of my friends has this wonderful jewelry company, Vera Vara, and let me tell you—it’s not just amazing because she’s my friend. Sure, that might make me a little biased, but it’s genuinely awesome! How do I know? Because I personally own a few of her pieces, and they are chef’s kiss—classy, timeless, and just the right amount of sparkle without blinding anyone in the grocery store.

Recently, as I’ve been diving deeper into my faith, something unexpected happened. Out of nowhere, a package showed up at my door. No, it wasn’t Amazon (although that’s a weekly visitor at this point). It was from my friend at Vera Vara. Inside? A beautiful silver necklace with a double cross pendant and a stunning ring, also with a cross. I was stunned.

I mean, who doesn’t love surprise jewelry? But this wasn’t just any ordinary “Oh, I thought you’d like this” moment. This felt special. It was like a divine nudge wrapped up in Vera Vara packaging. I was so moved—not just by her generosity but by the fact that these pieces felt like a reminder from above. Call it divine timing or just really good gifting skills, but it resonated with me on a deep level.

If you haven’t heard of Vera Vara yet, let me give you the scoop. My friend’s jewelry isn’t just about looking good (though trust me, you will look good). Each piece is crafted with purpose, especially her new faith collection. The designs are elegant, yes, but they’re also a reflection of deeper meanings—reminders to stay grounded, centered, and connected to what truly matters in life. Whether it’s a necklace symbolizing protection or a bracelet meant to represent strength, her pieces go beyond aesthetics. They embody values like faith, resilience, and love, blending beauty with meaning in a way that speaks to the soul.

So naturally, when I received those cross pieces, I couldn’t just put them on and call it a day. Nope. I grabbed my camera, got a little artsy (okay, a lot artsy), and took some product photos for her new faith collection. Let me tell you, trying to photograph jewelry in good lighting is basically a spiritual journey in itself. But in the end, the photos turned out as beautiful as the pieces themselves.

If you’re looking for something meaningful—whether it’s to symbolize your own journey or as a thoughtful gift for someone special—take a look at Vera Vara’s faith collection. Trust me, it’s more than just jewelry. It’s a reminder to have a lil’ faith. Oh and the trend this fall is to layer your necklaces. In the phot below I’m wearing the sliver Vera Vera double cross necklace and another necklace.
