Earrings of Devotion: Faith-Filled Jewelry in Gold, Platinum, and Sterling Silver

Jewelry has always been more than decoration. In Scripture and throughout history, earrings symbolized identity, covenant, and devotion. Today, our Earrings of Devotion Collection carries forward that tradition - crafted in gold, platinum, and sterling silver, these sacred designs transform fine jewelry into a statement of faith and legacy.

Earrings in the Old Testament Tradition

The Old Testament records earrings as meaningful gifts and offerings. In Genesis 35:4, Jacob buried foreign jewelry under the oak at Shechem, dedicating his household solely to God. Earrings symbolized both identity and devotion, marking a shift toward holiness.

Later, in Exodus 32:2-3, earrings were offered to create the golden calf - a sobering reminder that jewelry holds power, whether devoted to God or misused. This history makes religious earrings all the more meaningful today, as they become a deliberate symbol of faith rather than vanity.

New Testament Meaning of Adornment

The New Testament shifts focus to inner beauty and spiritual adornment. In 1 Peter 3:3-4, believers are reminded: “Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart.”

For Christians, earrings are not about vanity but about devotion. A pair of faith-inspired earrings - whether a cross, angel wings, or symbolic motif - becomes a reminder that outward adornment is anchored by inner faith.

Gold Religious Earrings: Eternal Brilliance

Gold has always symbolized purity and divine majesty. A pair of gold religious earrings connects modern wearers to that heritage, recalling the splendor of the Temple and the glory of God’s presence. Given for baptisms, confirmations, or anniversaries, they are heirlooms that shine with faith and tradition.

Platinum Religious Earrings: Enduring Strength

Platinum, rare and enduring, reflects a faith that cannot be shaken. Platinum devotional earrings are chosen not just for elegance, but for permanence. Just as God’s promises are eternal, platinum carries the strength of devotion across generations.

Sterling Silver Religious Earrings: Humility and Grace

Silver in Scripture often symbolizes redemption and covenant. A pair of sterling silver faith earrings embodies simplicity and meaning, accessible to all yet full of symbolic power. Whether worn daily or gifted to mark a milestone, they serve as a reminder of grace and devotion.

Why Earrings of Devotion Matter

Earrings may be small, but their impact is profound. They sit close to the face—visible to the world as a subtle yet bold declaration of faith. Each piece in our Earrings of Devotion Collection is designed with this purpose: to be more than jewelry, to be a witness.

At Emery Elise † 1913, we believe every earring should carry meaning. From delicate crosses to symbolic motifs, our designs in gold, platinum, and sterling silver blend craftsmanship with conviction - reminders of devotion you can carry every day.
