Jesus is the Anchor of My Soul Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver

Faith, Hope, Charity 
Faith, The Cross 
Representing the cross is faith, the belief in god, obedience and His revelation. The cross often stands taller than the other symbols when depicted in 
Neoclassical jewels, making use of the oval/navette shapes of the time. Faith and the cross symbol are generally hard to separate, even when the cross 
is used on its own, as it has the obvious connection to Christ. The cross had a renewed popularity in the 19th century as a symbol in jewelry, whereas 
its incorporation into Neoclassical pieces is often a little more covert. The Neoclassical period (in its basic form) was a revival of Greek/Roman/Early 
Western culture and art and it goes without saying that these were polytheistic societies. 

Hope, The Anchor 
Hope, the anchor, can often be seen when combined with the cross to create the crux dissimulata (representing the church), but it lends itself to a more 
literal translation of the obvious anchor, meaning hope. During the Napoleonic wars, many of the mourning and sentimental jewels show the female with 
the faith, hope and charity symbols and the ship moving into the horizon. It was a relevant popular symbol at a time when seafaring meant that a loved 
one may never be seen again.  Many times people can be confused with the anchor, it is also seen on its own and some see that as simply a seafaring 
relationship. When it comes to mourning and sentimentality, hope is a powerful statement on its own merits.

Charity, The Heart
Charity is represented by the heart, which is often depicted as burning, seen in the jewel above. Charity/love are represented by the heart, which is a 
derivative of ÿª?γ?¦πη (agap??), the world used by the English translation of the Bible in the 16th century. It was only in the Challoner Douay Rheims Bible 
of 1752 and the King James Version of 1611 that the term ‘charity’ was used for the similar ideal of Christian love. The heart is one of the most commonly 
used symbols in Western society and also one of the most timeless. Charity is love and affection and you will no doubt see this symbol a lot on your travels. 
Defying any strict religious connotation, the heart motif has transcended nearly all of the evolving art styles upon sentimental jewelry. These pieces were 
created with the intention of love, so what is love without a heart? The development of the heart will be discussed further in the article, but it is important to 
see how the nature of ‘charity’ could be seen as a physical being. citation
