A gift for my sister's 50th Birthday

A gorgeous bronze St Teresa of Avila medal on a Pink Crazy Lace Agate necklace.  My sister Teresa has always had a special devotion to St. Teresa of Avila.  

 

 

 

When I asked my sister about making her a rosary for her birthday, she said, 'the fancier the better'.  She also wears a lot of fuschia pink colors.  When she first saw the Pink Crazy Lace Agate stone she was immediately attracted to it.   So based on those parameters, I designed the above rosary and necklace for Teresa on her 50th birthday.   Happy Birthday Teresa!

Pietersite Wire Linked Rosary ---solid brass

This is another rosary in my new line of wire linked rosaries.  All the metal parts (crucifix, center, bead caps and wire) are solid brass.  The Hail Mary beads are beautiful Pietersite gemstones.  The Our Father beads are faceted Fancy Jasper Gemstones.  This is an heirloom quality man's rosary.  It is a nice large bead that you can really feel!

New Heavy gauge wire linked Rosaries! --Crazy Lace Agate

Each person has their own preference for their style of rosary beads.  For the very traditional taste, I am now offering wire linked rosaries in a heavy 20 gauge solid brass wire.  Each bead is individually wire linked and tucked into a small jump ring, to give it added durability.



This rosary is made with 8mm Blue Crazy Lace Agate beads for the Hail Mary beads.  The Our Father beads are 10mm Blue Crazy Lace Agate gemstones.  The crucifix, medal, bead caps and wire are all antiqued solid brass.

It is available in my Etsy shop.

Sweet Cloisonne Rosary

This is a small cloisonne rosary with small 6mm beads and a tiny French crucifix and center.  Small but oh so precious!

Impression Jasper Wire Wrapped Necklace

This necklace is made with Impression Jasper Gemstones.  Each bead is individually wire-wrapped with solid bronze wire.  The beautiful Cross has an image of Our Lady on one side.  The back is almost identical but it has a Sacred Heart Image (see the modeled Necklace).  It is a solid bronze, antique reproduction medal.

The length of this necklace is 16" and the medal hangs down another 2".  It can be lengthened for a nominal fee.

Family Reunion 2010

This summer my family is celebrating my mothers 80th birthday with a family reunion.  She has commissioned me to make her 10 children and their spouses a rosary to mark the occasion.  That's a lot of rosaries!  They have picked rosaries from my collection, and I have made a few new ones as well. I am listing a few of the rosaries here, so my siblings can check them out.  ( I will add more as I am able to edit the pics)
