The Living Promises Pendant

A Symbol of Kindness, Giving, Forgiveness, and Love

Some jewelry is worn for beauty. Some jewelry is worn for meaning.

The Living Promises Pendant was created as a daily reminder of the principles that help guide a meaningful life.

More than a piece of jewelry, the Living Promises Pendant is designed as a quiet reminder to pause, reflect, and remember what matters most.

A Mother’s Gift of Imagination

The inspiration for the Living Promises design began with a simple childhood moment.

When Diamond Mike Watson was young, his adoptive mother, Martha Veila Watson, created a unique pattern while doodling with pencil and paper. She drew a square graph of dots, connected them into the shape of a stylized cross, and then decorated the spaces between the lines.

Years later, that simple drawing became the foundation for the Living Promises design.

Martha taught her son how to recreate the pattern. The magical geometric shape sparked his imagination and eventually became a symbol of the values she helped instill in him.

How to Use the Living Promises Pendant

The pendant may be used anytime. Many people find a quiet moment before sleep.

Begin with Kindness at the top arm. Move clockwise around the pendant, reflecting on each promise. Each arm can become a doorway to a different thought, memory, or intention.


Forged in precious metal, the Living Promises renders its charm with positive thoughts.

1. Be Kind.  Love yourself.  Love others.  Treat all things with compassion.

2. Be Giving. Give cheerfully without expecting return. Give more than you take.

3. Be Forgiving. Ask forgiveness when you harm another.  Forgive all who harm you. 

4. Be Thankful. Have immense gratitude for all things. Be thankful for your dwelling, your body, your senses, and your challenges which strengthen you. 

5.  Be Joyful. Smile. Laugh. Worry not.  Find great joy in the darkness of sleep, the sunshine of play, and all that lies between.

6. Be Mindful.  Be aware of now.  Recognize your reflection in all things.  Be mindful we each experience life differently.  Your truth may not be another’s. 

7. Be Brave.  Walk with courage.  Live without fear.  Express your truth.  Wake with excitement. 

Seek everything within yourself. Find everything in everything else.

Shine your light. 

8. Know. Know you are loved.  Know you are a masterpiece.  Know your thoughts, words, and actions can inspire, empower, and heal. Know all things are possible with intention and perseverance. 

Know you create each day.
