Patron saint of women in labor, childless couples, grandmothers - Feast Day July 26

Both delicate and bright, this is a piece rich in symbolism. Twelve tiny gold stars are suspended between a smooth gold frame and an oval lab-created emerald. The stars, a symbol of Anne's daughter the Blessed Mother, connect Anne to her greatest treasure: her grandson and Savior. The choice of a green gemstone is a nod to traditional iconography- Anne is most often depicted wearing green or red.

Since the early days of Christianity, the mother of the Virgin Mary has held a special place for many believers. We have no concrete specific history of Mary’s family, but apocryphal texts name her parents Anne and Joachim. Traditional sources describe them as a devout couple who experienced infertility before Mary was born. While the historical record is vague, the Church recognizes that Mary’s mother was a remarkable woman of faith and humility who raised her daughter to trust in and live for God. For centuries, Christians have looked to her and her husband as examples of quiet devotion in family life.
