			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hope you&#8217;re all enjoying your summer. It&#8217;s going too fast, as always!</p>
<p>We received great feedback from our surveys, thanks to our friends on Twitter who helped us out! Your honest opinions &amp; feedback were very important to us.  What did we find out? Here&#8217;s what the girls said:<br />
<strong>1. Quality is most important when selecting a purity ring</strong></p>
<p>     We asked what was the most important thing when selecting a purity ring. Hands down every girl answered &#8220;Quality&#8221; That&#8217;s what we think too! We  get asked why we don&#8217;t carry more stainless steel purity rings, like other websites. The answer is simple: The quality. We&#8217;ve carried stainless steel purity rings in the past, and found that the black writing is just stamped, and can wear off within a few weeks (or days).   We want our customers to wear their rings for as long as they want&#8211;and have them look just as good years from now as today!</p>
<p>2. <strong>Girls want to follow fashion trends, but also want something that&#8217;s personal to them</strong></p>
<p>      We asked girls which was more important, buying a ring because it&#8217;s the latest style, or picking something unique &amp; personal. Girls said they want both! And I totally get that! That&#8217;s why getting a purity ring like &#8220;true love waits with hearts&#8221; and having it engraved inside is the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>Thanks again to the focus group who participated! You girls are awesome <img src='http://www.cornerstonejewelrydesigns.com/purity-blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have 5 new designs&#8211;one arrived last week and the other 4 will be here soon! Very exciting! We have a new &#8220;Purity&#8221; pendant and ring (as shown). The new &#8220;True Love Waits&#8221; design is nothing like you&#8217;ve seen before.  Picture bold colors in tattoo inspired jewelry.  We expect these new styles to arrive within the next few weeks.</p>
<p>Our other design which just arrived is a &#8220;true love waits&#8221; ring with the writing on the inside of  a solid sterling silver band. The flat edge, 5mm width band is perfect for both guys and girls. This is a perfect ring if you want to make this commitment and keep it personal.</p>
<p>And in other very exciting news, you&#8217;ll be able to customize your purity ring with a personal engraved message. (More details on that in another post!)</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s it for now! Check back for more updates on new product releases.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to all our followers on <a href="http://twitter.com/purityrings">Twitter</a>. We love reading your messages &amp; your blog posts about <a href="http://www.cornerstonejewelrydesigns.com/purity-blog/2009/09/12/what-purity-means-contest/">what purity means to you</a>.  I was so blessed to read them. I am so thankful that you would share your hearts with us. It sounds like even with all the pressure from soceity, you all know that the decision for abstinence is YOURS. We&#8217;ve heard about some of the &#8220;backlash&#8221; from your peers about your choice to wear a <a href="http://www.cornerstonejewelrydesigns.com/purity-ring.html">purity ring</a>. All I can say is, STAY STRONG. Even though I&#8217;ve been out of high school for a while (okay, for a long while!) I remember feeling that peer pressure&#8211;feeling like you want to fit in and be accepted. But the reality is; these school years are short&#8211;you probably won&#8217;t remain in contact with most people you go to school with; but the consequences of having sex before marriage can stay with you forever. So in short; do what&#8217;s best for you, not them.</p>
<p>We always talk a lot about abstinence, but please remember that &#8220;purity&#8221; is more than physical. The concept of &#8220;purity&#8221; should effect every part of lives. Emotional purity is attained by guarding your heart. Everyone always says &#8220;Follow your heart&#8221; but sometimes are hearts can be deceitful and lead us in the wrong direction.</p>
<p>Also please remember that just making this commitment isn&#8217;t enough-You will need support from God, your family, your church, and hopefully your friends. You need someone to keep you accountable. Because I&#8217;m a mom, I can tell you that your mom DOES want to talk to you about this&#8211;even if it&#8217;s akward or uncomfortable. Do you need some advice on how to approach your mom or dad?  Send us a message; we&#8217;d be happy to help you.</p>
<p>Currently the &#8220;random winner&#8221; contest is going on Twitter. Next winner will be selected on Wednesday 9/16</p>
<p>Thank you again to all who entered, messaged, emailed, etc.</p>
