The Perfect Gift to Mark a Girl’s Holy Communion
Posted on 23. May, 2010 by admin.
Holy Communion is a special event in a little girl’s life and what better way for parents, Godparents, family members, and friends, to celebrate such an occasion than to present her with a thoughtfully-chosen token of jewellery? Here’s our top tips on choosing perfect Holy Communion Gifts
Today, there are many different jewellery items available, specially crafted to mark a Holy Communion. There is, of course, the cross, and this can come in many forms; in gold or silver, suspended from a neck chain, or attached to a bracelet. A simple cross will always be very welcome, but there are other pieces of jewellery that will be just as well-received.
A lovely idea is a name bracelet, with the child’s name fashioned in beads or engraved on silver or gold, making a truly unique gift. On the bracelet theme, the ever-popular charm bracelet makes a perfect gift because there are several different charms that can be attached to it; a cross, of course, but also, perhaps, a dove, a heart, or a guardian angel. A charm bracelet can be added to over the years to mark other important occasions in the little girl’s life.
Another idea is a rosary bracelet, comprising several precious or semi-precious beads threaded together to count prayers as they are recited. A classic rosary will consist of ten Hail Mary beads representing a decade of traditional Rosary. Rosaries are much-treasured items.
Lockets make a wonderful Holy Communion gift and here, again, the choice today is vast. They can be plain with, perhaps, a simple engraving to mark the occasion, or more elaborate, set with precious stones or, very popular these days, Swarovski crystals. If the locket contains a photo of the girl on the day she was born, it will make it truly personal, ensuring it becomes a gift to be treasured throughout her life.
Holy Communion is one of the most important days in a girl’s life – jewellery marks the occasion perfectly.
