Sterling Silver 6mm Lapis Lazuli Rosary

This rosary is now in Helena Montana for St. Andrews School Auction fundraiser.  I hope it does well for the school!


6mm Garnet Rosary

This Heirloom hand strung rosary has high quality genuine Garnet gemstones for the Hail Mary beads.  It has gorgeous Swarovski Crystals for the Our Father beads.  The rosary Crucifix and center are hand cast in solid bronze from antique pieces. The rosary features a Miraculous medal center. This is a one-of-a-kind rosary with an antique look. This would make an excellent Confirmation Rosary, because the garnet casts red flashes of light which remind us of the fire of the Holy Spirit.

---SOLD--- This rosary was donated to the St. Andrew's School Auction in Helena, MT.  It did very well and I greatly appreciate the generosity of the winner of that auction! 

8mm Blue Adventurine (Man's) Rosary

This quality hand strung rosary has 8mm genuine Blue Aventurine gemstones for the Hail Mary beads.  It has genuine Blue Sodalite pebble gemstones for the Our Father beads.  The rosary Crucifix and center are silver toned metal, featuring a Pardon crucifix and Ave Maria center.

This rosary has an interesting story.  Because the Hail Mary beads were a Military blue I thought of a friend, recently retired from the military.  As I made the rosary, I thought about what he might like and prayed for his intentions as he is in the discernment process of becoming a deacon.  At Christmas time, I donated the rosary to a fund raiser for Mary's shelter.  I was so surprised when he bought it.  He said he has a lot of rosaries but he was drawn to the center on this rosary.
