Friday Finds - Jiayin Designs Jewelry Giveaway

UPDATE: We have a winner, #11- gghadden!
Congrats Gina! I know you will love your beautiful necklace.

While my friend Kelly was waiting to travel to bring home her daughter from China, her mother gave her a very special gift—a sterling silver charm hand cut by a Beijing jeweler with her daughter’s Chinese name. She wore it everyday while she waited to travel and when she was in China—with no idea of what it would eventually lead to.

When their dear friends in Beijing, Chinese natives doing mission work, were looking for a way to supplement their income, Jiayin Designs was born. Together, they have come up with a way to not only bless adoptive families through a very special way to celebrate their children’s history, they employ Chinese artisans some of whom have no other source of income and support some pretty great work there.

The direct translation for jiayin is “good and beautiful news,” and it’s the word used in Revelation for the phrase translated into English as “the mystery of God.” It seemed like the perfect name for their new project.
