About

Hello. I am Johnnie D Bond, Sr. I created the IWAF (I WAS A FETUS)JEWELED PENDANT, which is now a patent-approved jeweled handcrafted pendant for personal reasons. It’s an original. I reside in Austin, Texas. As a designer, I am no different than anyone else. Having lived 72 years, memories and reflections return into your life like yesterday.

My reflection is about my mother, who gave birth to me in 1952 after my birth and two other siblings before me for the next 23 years; she would give birth to 8 more siblings. Her commitment and sacrifice alter the plot. She had her last child, my baby brother, in February 1975 and died prematurely in March 1975 from Breast Cancer at the tender age of 44 years old. All these years have passed,

Forever trying to find a tangible way to honor my memory of her came this Mom Jeweled Pendant.

My love for her inspired this pendant. My slogan Is “Wear It 4 Blessings™

There are more blessings, but I can immediately identify 4 Blessings associated with the Pendant.

1)All my life, I have had a picture of myself as a small child. Daily, as I Look at that photo. I PRAY FOR THAT CHILD. Yes, it's me. (Download the song) With the pendant, I can pray for myself as that child in the most vulnerable posture of my life—a FETUS. It's also reflective of who else was a fetus born of a virgin mother.

2&3) There are four Birthstones, each representing My Father, My Mother, and Myself. Lastly, my grandmother, the Matriarch of the family, was my true inspiration. Exodus 20:20 reminds us to honor them for a long life on this earth.

4) The Fetus inside the mother's womb defines my savor in Col 1:15, ‘firstborn of every creature.’ Then there is the acknowledgment and promise of St John 1:12 and 1:30: the first, receiving him, we attain the power to be like him, and then we can join him eternally. This is the confirmation that he was before all other fetuses. Let me remind you that we are offered long and eternal life. THE BEST PART IS IT'S OUR CHOICE.REMEMBER “WEAR IT 4 BLESSINGS(™)
