"Rendition" Jewelry
Rendition jewelry is a line of jewelry we developed that serves to tell the story of Jesus Christ
and what he has done for us.  It is a "rendition" of the Wordless Bible that has been used for
many, many years to tell this story (though the number of colors used, their order, and precisely
what they mean has varied over time).

The word "rendition" means, primarily, "an interpretation".  This jewelry simply represents my
version of the Wordless Book story.  Interestingly, the word "rendition" has other lesser known
definitions which are quite appropriate in the discussion of God, His plan for our lives, and what
can happen when we trust Him:

   ren•di•tion (n.)         1.  An interpretation
                                     2.  A translation
                                     3.  A surrender
                                     4.  The act of causing to become

Rendition jewelry incorporates seven colors, five of which are those most commonly found in
the traditional Wordless Book (in the middle: black, red, white, gold and green).  The two
additional colors have been added by some, and, to us, add significant meaning to the story:

   Purple  (Amethyst, Royal Blue)   

This represents royalty.  God sits on the thrown in control of all, and has since the beginning.  
This is His message to us, communicated to us through the Bible.

   Black      

Black represents the sin that is in all of us, passed down since the beginning of man.  We are
all sinful, which separates us from a loving God, but there is hope…

   Red  

A sacrifice was required to atone for our sins.  Instead of condemning us, God sent His son
Jesus to die in our stead.  Only the blood of His sinless Son was acceptable.

   White   

While sin still exists in our lives, it is “washed as white as snow” and forgiven by God, but ONLY
when we believe that He indeed sent His Son to die for us.

   Gold  (Yellow)   

Upon believing that Jesus died for us, we are offered comfort in this life, and an eternal place in
Heaven afterwards---a prize worth even more than gold.

   Green     

Upon believing in Jesus, we continue to grow in our faith, learning to trust that He is in control
and only wants the best for us.  We live for Him more and more.

   Blue   

Our faith in what God has done for is of lesser value if we keep it to ourselves.  Blue can
represent baptism in water, which is an outward confession of faith---a witness to others.
