Mysteries of the Rosary Beads Pink Roses Handmade Lampwork Indulgence Crucifix Miraculous Medal



The Ave beads in this rosary are pale pink 5.5mm Bohemian picasso beads. These beads from Czechoslovakia have a delicate pink picasso coating over a white bead. The 12mm handmade lampwork Pater beads are the perfect compliment to the Ave beads. They feature a black background with pink roses and green leaves encased in clear crystal. The Miraculous Medal center opens up to reveal the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries and the Glorious Mysteries of the rosary and the days on which they should be prayed. The are printed in very small print so you may need a magnifying glass to read them. The center can also be "closed" so that the Mysteries can not be easily seen. The Indulgence crucifix has the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the reverse side along with the statement: "Behold this heart which has so loved men. Father Forgive Them"  Please click here to learn more about this rosary.   Please visit my shop, The Rosary Works, to see more of my wire wrapped, unbreakable rosaries.

Mother of Sorrows Rosary Labradorite Hematite Lead Free Pewter Wire Wrapped Unbreakable





The striking Ave beads in this rosary are 8mm black labradorite. As you can see from some of the photos many of these beads have a very nice "fire" or iridescence in bright light. Some of these beads have minor imperfections, but that only adds to the charm of this handmade rosary. Accenting the labradorite beads are the 12mm hematite Pater beads. These beads are cool to the touch and the metallic, almost liquid appearance gives a nice contrast to the labradorite. Genuine hematite is slightly magnetic. All of the beads have been wrapped in silver plated wire with a decorative swirl of wire going up the side. This wire has 99% fine silver plated onto copper.

The pewter center honors Our Mother of Sorrows. This is one of my favorite centers. The back of the center honors the Pieta. The pewter crucifix has a heart on the end of each arm of the cross and it goes very nicely with the center. 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, The Rosary Works, to see more of my unbreakable, wire wrapped rosaries.

St Benedict Rosary in Black Onyx



St Benedict was a very simple man. He had few, if any possessions and lived a disciplined life devoid of frills and non-essentials. Therefore, I have tried to keep this rosary simple in honor of St Benedict's asceticism.

The Ave beads are 6mm black onyx and the Pater beads are 12mm black labradorite with silver colored bead caps on either end. The labradorite is quite pretty and when the light hits them right, some of the beads have a nice iridescence or "fire". The St Benedict center and crucifix are 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 unbreakable, wire wrapped rosaries.
