An emotional, affective jewel that tells the life of Christ but also of us, of our lives, always poised between joy and awareness. Just as the bracelet is composed of signs of the history of Jesus, so our life is nothing but a path sometimes made of obstacles, love. A story of infinite faith, which starts from Christ, returns in Christ and is intertwined in our everyday emotions. A symbol of hope because not everything is possible to explain: it is faith that to which it relies gently to find a meaning that is always seen in an unexpected way
This bracelet summarizes the life of Jesus, assigning a
moment of it to each bead.
One night, a bright star (star) appeared, guiding the
three wise men (three crowns beads), bearing gifts of
gold, frankincense and myrrh (three coloured crystal
beads) to the cave where a child lay (pearl bead). As
he grew, he was first a carpenter (wooden bead) and
then a fisher of souls (fish bead), with twelve apostles
(12 light blue beads) who helped him preach the word
of God (transparent crystal bead). On a day of hatred,
envy and betrayal (three black beads), he died and
was crucified (cross charm), shedding His blood (red
bead) and his tears (white bead) to purify and save us
(transparent crystal bead). Now he sits in heaven, next
to the Father and the Holy Spirit (three blue beads). He
did all this because of his great love (heart bead) for us.

Amen invents a new language to describe history and sacred iconography, leaving traditions unchanged and enhancing faith and sacredness. The sacred world and the fashion world meet in this bracelet to trace a journey made of faith that starts from the story of Mary and continues in our emotions. A cult jewel of great sacral charm that attempts to make one's religiosity tangible and represents a deep and authentic spiritual symbolism. A new way to wear one's faith and be, at the same time, fashionable.
This bracelet summarizes the life of Mary, assigning a
moment of it to each bead.
An angel appeared to Joachim and Anna (brown bead and
pink pearl bead), an elderly couple, to announce the birth
of a child (golden bead). They called their daughter Mary,
which means “beloved by God” (pink bead). At the age
of 14, Mary was given in marriage to Joseph, a carpenter
from Nazareth (wooden bead). Again, an Angel (angel
pendant) announced that she would give birth to the Son
of God, Jesus (white pearl bead). They fled to Egypt (grey
hematite bead) to escape Herod’s evil order. We find Mary
at the wedding of Cana, where Jesus performed his first
miracle on behalf of the bride and groom, turning water
into wine (white and red crystal beads). Little is known
about Mary, but what is certain is that she led a poor,
laborious, loving and devout life (four coloured crystal
beads). On a day of hatred, envy and betrayal (three black
beads), she watched as her son was crucified on the cross
(cross pendant). After Jesus’ Ascension, Mary gathered
in prayer with the disciples (twelve light blue beads) as
they awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit. Like Jesus, she
too rose and was assumed into heaven (medallion). Mary
has left us strong and clear messages, as significant and
important as the places she has appeared: Lourdes, Fatima,
Medjugorje (three medallions).
