St Francis Rosary San Damiano Crucifix in Fancy Agate Wire Wrapped

The Avé beads in this rosary are 8mm fancy agate beads. These amazing beads range from mauve to purple, gray and rust. In sunlight, the appear to have the look of earth tones. In artificial light, they take on a more rosy hue. Accenting these beads are 12mm white magnesite Pater beads with faint traces of a light brown matrix. Magnesite looks very much like white turquoise and many people refer to it as such. Please note that these are two entirely stones. Magnesite is a beautiful but common stone. White turquoise is quite rare and is only mined in the American southwest. Please ask the origin of the stone when purchasing something labeled as white turquoise.

The crucifix honors the San Damiano crucifix which was so important to St. Francis. The center honors St Francis of Assisi one of Pope Francis' favorite saints. Both 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 wire wrapped, unbreakable 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.

Irish Celtic Rosary honoring St Patrick and St Brigid

The show stealers in this rosary are the 6mm Czech fire polished AB Emerald Avé beads. These beads are definitely emerald in color, but the partial Aurora Borealis coating on them is so intense that they reflect beautiful shades of blue, light green and sometimes even pink. They are a tribute to the Emerald Isle. The Pater beads have a Celtic knot design and contrast the Avé beads very nicely. The crucifix is a Celtic cross which has long been an Irish symbol of eternity. The front side of the center honors St Patrick who is one of the patron saints of Ireland. The reverse side of the center honor St Brigid who is the other patron saint of Ireland.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, Holy Name Rosaries, to see more of my rosaries and rosary bracelets.
