St. Kateri Tekakwitha Rosary with Aqua Terra Jasper Unbreakable



The Ave beads in this rosary are 8mm Aqua Terra Jasper. The name means water and earth. Since St Kateri is the patron saint of the environment, I thought they were especially fitting for a rosary made in her honor. These beads are pale blue with pale tan swirls. Some of them have a beautiful reddish tinge to them. The Pater beads are a cluster of amber colored jasper and carnelian. All of the beads have a swirl of silver plated wire going up the side for extra detail. The crucifix and center are silver colored metal.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, HolyNameRosaries.com to see more of my unbreakable rosaries and chaplets.

Vintage Style Rosary Bracelet

This vintage style rosary bracelet features 8mm by 10mm Czech picasso beads. These amazing dark beads have such a sense of mystery. At first glance, they appear to be black yet deep cranberry colored glass shows thru the faceted center of the bead. Accenting these beads is a 13mm handmade bronze Bali bead. The crucifix and Miraculous Medal are both antiqued bronze as is the toggle clasp. This bracelet would make a wonderful gift. It would also be great to keep for yourself. :)  Please click here to learn more about this bracelet and please visit my shop HolyNameRosaries.com to see more of my rosary bracelets and unbreakable rosaries.

Thought for the Day

Disciple:  Master, what do I need to do to become enlightened?

Master:  As little as you can do to make the sun rise in the morning.

Disciple: Then what is the benefit of all the spiritual exercises that you give me to do?

Master:  So you will be awake when the sun begins to rise.

Just in time for Father's Day!


St. Joseph Onyx and Lampwork Rosary at Laude Arts and Gifts


The show stealers in this unbreakable rosary are the large 20mm x 14mm lampwork Pater Noster beads. These beads have been worked by hand as well as by machine and no two beads are exactly alike. Brown seed beads provide a striking accent at either end of the Pater Nosters and in the connectors as well. Finishing the rosary off are the 6.5mm black onyx Avé beads. The medal honoring St Joseph and the crucifix are silver colored metal.  The back of the medal says "Pray for Us" in script. This rosary is 30 3/4 inches long.  This handsome rosary would make a wonderful Father's Day gift. It would also be great to keep for yourself.  Please click here to learn more about this handsome rosary. 


ABOUT UNBREAKABLE ROSARIES: This rosary was constructed in such a manner as to make it unbreakable with normal wear and tear. The tarnish resistant, silver plated wire is coiled 2 1/2 times at either end of each bead. Furthermore, the interlocking loops prevent the type of breakage that occurs with most traditional linked rosaries. It is the last rosary you will ever need to buy. You may want to buy another rosary...hopefully from me...but you won't ever need to buy another rosary. In fact, you will be able to hand it down to your children and they in turn will be able to hand it down to their children.  Please visit my shop, Laude Arts and Gifts, to view more of my unbreakable rosaries and to see my rosary bracelets as well.
