Every piece in this collection supports a greater cause—95% of the profit goes to helping children in need.
The Gratitude Cross Collection represents more than just art — it embodies a mission of hope, faith, and protection. Each piece in this exclusive line is handcrafted with love and intention, featuring the Gratitude Cross, a powerful and sacred symbol created to inspire light amid darkness. This symbol is a registered copyrighted design, created and protected by our family to preserve its integrity and ensure that it continues to serve its true purpose — to bring healing and help to children in need.
At Chelan Stained Glass, our three generations of family artists, spanning from age 23 to 89, work side by side to craft every piece with purpose and care. What began as a shared passion for glass artistry has grown into a heartfelt movement to protect and uplift children who have been subjected to human trafficking and abuse. Every item adorned with the Gratitude Cross serves as a reminder that compassion and creativity can change lives.
Each fused glass creation — whether a pendant, cross, or art piece — is handcrafted in our Wenatchee, Washington studio using a mix of hand-blown antique glass, Spectrum, Bullseye, and dichroic elements. These materials are chosen for their radiant qualities, reflecting light in ever-shifting colors, symbolizing transformation and the resilience of the human spirit. The intricate layering and firing process give each piece its own distinctive character, making no two alike.
But what truly sets this collection apart is its purpose. Ninety-five percent of all profits from the Gratitude Cross Collection are donated to trusted organizations dedicated to safeguarding children from the dangers of human trafficking, exploitation, and abuse. Your purchase directly funds critical rescue efforts, recovery programs, and safe environments where children can heal and rebuild their lives.
When you wear or display a piece from the Gratitude Cross Collection, you become part of something larger — a living movement of love, light, and protection. Each item carries within it a story of family legacy, divine inspiration, and unyielding hope. By choosing the Gratitude Cross, you are not only wearing a beautiful work of art — you are helping to illuminate a path toward safety, healing, and a brighter future for children across the world.
