At Gallery of Diamonds, we believe in more than just quality and craftsmanship. We embrace a set of principles that help us live our lives to the fullest. Join us on a journey where the Living Promises becomes a tangible reminder of these principles, helping cultivate a deeper connection within ourselves and the world around us.
Diamond Mike Watson created the Living Promises pendant as a faithful friend to help one remember what is important in life. Forged in precious metal, the Living Promises renders its charm with positive thoughts.
The inspiration of the design came from a sketch his adoptive mother, Martha, drew when he was a child. She stumbled onto the pattern years before as she was doodling with pencil and paper. She made a square graph of dots and connected them into the shape of a stylized cross. Martha then embellished the negative spaces.
Martha prepared another graph and taught the skill to her son. The result was a magical contour that forever sparked his imagination.

How to use the pendant.
The Living Promises can be used anytime yet the best time is when one can dedicate a quiet moment of reflection or before falling asleep.
One may first memorize each arm. It is a good idea to read through the definitions of each promise, feeling free to add or modify a thought beside a particular promise that has a current or special meaning to the user.
Before sleeping, one may simply think about or touch the promise of Kindness on the top arm. Then one can move clockwise around the pendant with your thoughts or by touching the metal, silently repeating the name of each virtue while giving deep thought to its meaning. One may think of each arm as a door to understanding each promise. The user may spend as much or as little time contemplating each promise and how it is currently relevant in one’s life.
