Four years ago, Jonell McLain saw a diamond necklace in a jewelry store window. The necklace aroused desire first, then a provocative question: What if we shared what we desired? Several weeks, dozens of phone calls, and a leap of faith later, Jonell bought the necklace with twelve other women. With vastly dissimilar histories and lives, the women transcended their individual personalities and politics to join together in an uncommon journey. Part charm, part metaphor, part mirror, the necklace weaves in and out of each woman's life, and comes to mean something dramatically different to each of them. What started as a quirky social experiment became something far richer and deeper, as the women transformed a symbol of exclusivity into a symbol of inclusiveness. They discovered that sharing the necklace was only the beginning: the more they shared with others, the more profound this experience became.--From publisher description.… (más)
Just Finished reading The Necklace by Cheryl Jarvis. This book is an absolutely amazing TRUE story about 13 women who buy and share a diamond necklace worth $37,000 dollars. What starts out an economic experiment, turns into a life long friendship and bond between many women of all ages as the necklace becomes a powerful item that raises thousands of dollars for charity, and a binding talisman to the meaning of sharing, friendship, and creativity! FIVE STARS, love this incredible story! Just ordered many copies for Christmas gifts. ( )
This book is not just about a piece of jewelry. It is about relationships and about sharing -- and how by sharing what we have we get back more than we give. ( )
