“Eternity Shield”
“The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts and I am helped.”
Psalm 28:7
This is the verse that inspires me so much on this piece. So the cross is made up of four shields and encircled by the eternity circle of protection. This represents the protection that Lord has promises us. The shield is done in orange, golden, and green colors and again accented by 23k gold.

I love this verse Joshua 24:15. The gold anchors it with lovely flower in pink and varying shades of purple.
Look closely and you will see the celtic sea turtles pointing to the four corners of the earth.
The inspiration for this piece came from the carpet pages from the “Book of Kells”.
I had just finished reading one of those great books about Henry VIII England so I was really in the mood for knots and crowns.

A beautiful piece inspired by the work of the ancient manuscripts. The letter is inlayed with 23k gold and has spirals and knots throughout.
