To help promote World Vision’s Gift Catalog, I was sent an Artisan Beaded Necklace. So I could see for myself the quality of the gift.

The Artisan Beaded Necklace – With your gift of $60 or more to our Maximum Impact Fund — which provides for the unique needs of children and families worldwide — you will receive this gorgeous glass-bead necklace. Handmade in Thailand, this colorful necklace can be worn several different ways — even as a multi-stranded bracelet. Wear it yourself or bless a loved one with this beautiful reminder of your generosity!

The Maximum Impact Fund enables World Vision to answer specific, urgent needs of children and families that might otherwise go unmet.

This Artisan Beaded Necklace is a glass-bead necklace handmade in Thailand and can be worn several different ways — even as a multi-stranded bracelet.

Here’s a picture I took using it as a bracelet.  It really is gorgeous!

When worn as a single strand necklace, it’s about 22 inches long. I had it wrapped around my wrist 5 times, with plenty of room to spare. It was comfortable to wear, not too heavy. It also caught my daughters attention, “What’s that? What’s that??”   It is quite eye-catching.

 

This Christmas, consider sending gifts from the World Vision Gift Catalog
