The Magic of Tear Gifts
Tear Catchers make a wonderful and unique gift that both intrigues and delights all
who receive it. Tear
bottles encourage friends and
loved ones to collect the hopes, dreams, joys, and sorrows that resonate in their
tears in a treasured vial. This creates
a deeply emotional bond with your tear
catcher or tear
jar and infuses a profound meaning
each and every time it is filled. Here
are three momentous occasions in which a tear
catcher makes the perfect,
distinctive gift.
Mother’s Day
Mother's
Day is observed all over the world and
across 46 different countries! According
to historians, this holiday is rumored to be centuries old (much like tear
vials) and can be traced back to
the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the
Gods. The celebration was later cemented
in American history by Anna Jarvis and Julia Ward Howe in the 1800’s. This heartwarming holiday is known for honoring
mothers and celebrating motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of
mothers in society. Tear
catchers make exquisite gifts for
mothers, because they celebrate and encompass the unconditional love that
mothers have for their children.
Mothers are the most revered figurehead of families and the joy,
struggles, hopes, and dreams that they have for their children are expressed in
tears that can be treasured in a tear
gift and passed down from
generation to generation. A mother’s
love is instinctive, nurturing, unwavering, and special; All the more reason
she deserves a tear catcher to embrace the very tears she so lovingly shares with her children.
Wedding Day
A woman’s wedding day
is considered to be one of the most memorable milestones in her life. Visions of brides in pearl hued dresses
gracefully floating down petal strewn aisle are images we’ve seen since we were
children. Weddings are celebrations
filled with a dream like romance and a promise of everlasting love that brings
tears of joy, hope, and limitless possibilities. Each bride on her special day is as unique as
a fingerprint which makes a tear
catcher a blessed token to gift to
a happy bride-to-be. A bride will shed
many tears on her wedding day and as a wife will shed more as the years pass. She will face many moments throughout her
marriage and life that will bring tears worthy of being cradled in a tear
gift.
Birth of a Child
Children are considered
to be the greatest gift a mother can bestow upon the world and are the
completion of a family circle. A tear
catcher presented at a baby
shower, child birth, adoption ceremony, or even a christening can expresses
well wishes for a healthy child and a richly rewarding experience in
parenthood. Some say that being a
parent is the hardest, most fulfilling job in the world and in turn produces
many tears of happiness, aspiration, frustration, hopefulness, and
adoration. Often tear
gifts given at momentous child welcoming
occasions remain with families for years and are cherished traditions that
solidify and recognize the bonds woven within a family tree.
Jewelz
of Taos Tear Catchers are
handcrafted from terra cotta clay with uniquely sculpted relief work and
feature authentic gemstones, zodiac signs, birthstones, and healing
colors. No two are alike and each one encompasses "the breath of
life", which is the breath of the artist blown into each one.
Therefore each Enchanted Tear Catcher is a figurative living and breathing creation made
to embrace your tears, your memories, and your stories.
