Multi-faith jewelry promoting religious diversity and tolerance:
"Renaissancewiz" at Ganoskin, a gem and jewelry resource on the
Internet, challenged The Orchid List forum to suggest a universal
interfaith symbol. Their responses are fascinating; various folks suggested:
an infinity symbol placed diagonally in a heart -- meaning infinite
love.
a butterfly -- peaceful, graceful and good luck.
a circle: a basic interfaith symbol.
two hands cupped, gently cradling a butterfly.
a lotus.
a sunrise.
a leaf.
the Sufi symbol of the winged heart.
The forum's thread makes for fascinating reading.

necklaces, pendants, bracelets, etc. available containing multiple
