January Giveaway: Agape Jewelry

January 11, 2012 By Jenna 76 Comments

Hey Readers! I have a fantastic giveaway for you this month from Agape Gifts. Agape Gifts is a family company that specializes in custom Catholic jewelry (but it would be great for any Christian!) Laura from Agape is generously giving away a beautiful sterling silver and crystal necklace valued at $75!  
How can you win this beautiful piece? Complete any or all of the following options. For each one you do, leave a separate comment letting me know.
1. Visit Agape Gifts and tell me which item is your favorite
2. Follow this blog via RSS, email, Facebook, Twitter and/or Pinterest
3. Follow Agape Gifts on Facebook, Blogger and/or Twitter

This giveaway will close on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 11:59pm. I will announce the winner on the 18th!

***
Now that you’re done entering, let’s learn a little more about this awesome company, shall we?
1. How would you describe your jewelry?
My jewelry is distinctly unique in that each design piece is made once and not repeated, at least not exactly; therefore the jewelry boards have a broad variety of creative construction as well as a diversity in materials. I also explore the engineering portion of jewelry design which denotes my pieces as Agape Gift’s or Laura’s trademark of clever handiwork. I am currently hoping to look into patenting a design – but that takes a lot of financial backing.

2. From where do you draw your inspiration?

I truly pray about each piece. MANY times when I am celebrating Mass or praying in the chapel I will get an inspiration for a design or an answer to an execution stumbling block – that has happened many times. And of course the shower is a great haven of quietness where a lot of inspiration occurs. I have to say that I am confident that I will find the right answer for each piece that is both functional and pleasing to the eye. I am always studying, researching and reading to keep current on the news of new products and procedures. I find I really enjoy the science, metallurgy and gemology behind the resources I utilize.

3. What does the future hold for you and your business?

That is a tough one to answer because I truly dedicate my ministry to our Lord and our Lady and ask for His guidance and graces on Agape Gifts. Our company really is a ministry in that we give 50% of our profits to life charities – that is any charity that promotes life and not the culture of death. I daily ask if this is His plan to continue Agape Gifts, and I usually get an answer with someone ordering a rosary or item, booking a show, or requests to be in a store, etc. A general boost of “keep going”.

I personally would like to see Agape Gifts grow and become more known in order to service people in need – currently we have raised close to $7,000 in charity with the creative design work of a pair human hands, mainly mine. Agape Gifts is a family venture: my husband does the financial work, my son is in charge of the photography and the website, my daughter helps critique designs and is working on a ‘young@heart’ line, and we come as a family when presenting an Agape Gift’s Boutique. It has been a great way to have the family work together in a ministry as well as learn the art of a business.
If it is God’s plan, a long term goal would be, I envision Agape Gifts to blossom and eventually expand into a teaching/retreat center. I have a few students that I inspire, but it would be awesome to do that on a more regular schedule and lacing the importance of where the inspiration is gleamed, after all God created everything – give credit where credit is due. When this vision is shared with other people who are interested in the craft, their eyes light up and happily reply “I am in. Let me know when it happens!” I smile with the enthusiasm and begin to think about how we can make it happen, so I dump my concerns on God’s lap for Him to figure it.

A more current goal of mine is to raise $10,000 in accumulative charity funds since this upcoming October 2012 will be our tenth anniversary of the company – hopefully we will be able to reach our charity goal via individual sales and home boutique sales – so I definitely need to market and spread the word of our ministry – but again I deflect the final numbers to my Boss.

***

I can personally attest to the beauty and quality of Laura’s pieces; I received this stunning and meaningful bracelet at my baby shower:

A big thank you to Laura and Agape for sponsoring this giveaway!

      The sets of black glass bead dangles really give the earrings the added dimension, so it isn’t just the dynamic squares.
