Mary Undoer of Knots Rosary

 

 

Both the Ave beads and Our Father beads are beautiful fire polished rosaline beads from Czechoslovakia. The Ave beads are 8mm faceted beads with silver plated filigree bead caps and the Our Father beads are 12mm faceted beads with silver plated bead caps that have a floral motif. The large Pater beads are multifaceted and are beautiful to look into. The delicate color of these beads is the same as a nice Rose or Blush Wine with a little bit of pink and a little bit of peach. Unfortunately, my photography doesn't do it justice.

The center piece honors Mary, Undoer of Knots which is Pope Francis' favorite aspect of Our Blessed Mother. The intricate cut-out crucifix shows Mary Magdalene and Mary the Mother of Jesus at the foot of the cross. Both the center and the crucifix have "Italy" stamped on the back and both are made of silver colored metal This is a substantial rosary with a nice weight and feel.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, Holy Name Rosaries, to see more of my wire wrapped, unbreakable rosaries.

Mother of Sorrows Rosary with Denim Lapis Lazuli and Swarovski Pearls

The Ave beads in this rosary are 8mm faceted denim lapis lazuli. These beads are dark blue with white sodalite marbled thru them. The faceting gives them extra sparkle and shine. They are accented by the Pater beads which are 10mm white Swarovski crystal pearls. Swarovski pearls are high quality simulated pearls. They have a crystal center which is covered by 4 layers of nacre ( pearly coating) This gives them a beautiful luster. The Pater beads are accented by filigree silver plated bead caps.

The lead free pewter center is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. It features an image honoring Our Mother of Sorrows also known as the Mater Dolorosa. It has a subtle luminosity that gives depth and beauty to the image. The Pardon Crucifix is also known as the Indulgence Crucifix. Originally, Pope Pius X granted indulgences to anyone who prayed with the crucifix or who kissed the crucifix. The back of the crucifix says: "Father Forgive Them" and "Behold This Heart Which Has So Loved Men."  The back of the crucifix also has an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the center.  The crucifix is made of silver colored metal.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, Holy Name Rosaries to see more of my wire wrapped rosaries.

Mariculous Medal Rosary in Tourmalene with Trinity Crucifix

Both the Aves and the Paters in this rosary are tourmaline. Accenting the tourmaline are 3mm white simulated pearls. The Ave beads are 7mm and the Pater beads are 12mm. The colors range from black to deep purple to mauve and light pink. Some of the darker beads have an inner iridescence which gives them a little sparkle. The result is a beautiful multicolor rosary. Since these are natural stones, many of these beads are not completely round and some have minor imperfections. The Miraculous Medal is silver colored metal as is the Trinity crucifix. This intricate crucifix is loaded with symbolism. At the top of the crucifix is an image of God the Father who descends as a dove which is behind our Lord's head. The Holy Spirit imbues Himself into Our Lord who, in turn, descends directly into the Eucharist. It is a beautiful depiction of our Catholic faith.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, Holy Name Rosaries to see more of my wire wrapped rosaries.
