55 Spring Favorites: On This Rock Jewelry

In her book editor days, Janet Hill Talbert edited books like Having It All?: Black Women and Success by Veronica Chambers, Gumbo: A Celebration of African American Writing edited by Marita Golden and E. Lynn Harris and Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats by Michael Cunningham and Craig Marberry. She also sent one of the loveliest rejection letters I have ever received ("This is exactly the type of book that I would love to publish but...)  She even followed up with a phone call!

Let's not hold that against her...

She is a jewelry designer now and she has a new inspirational line of jewelry called On This Rock, inspired, as she puts it, by her love of words and The Word from the Bible.  The jewelry is made from sterling silver, brass, beach stones and other materials.  My favorites are the cuffs, especially the ones featuring "The Lord's Prayer" and Psalm 23.  Perhaps I will wear one of them for good luck the next time I send out a book proposal.  And say a prayer...

On This Rock Jewelry:  Angel Cuff in Sterling Silver, $400.00.  The Lord's Prayer Cuff in Brass, $150.00.  23rd Psalm Cuff in Gold Plated Brass $250.00.

Wow! I'm really loving the engraved rings! I laughed so hard when you wrote 'She also sent one of the loveliest rejection letters I have ever received' very funny!
