St Brigid Rosary Green Labradorite White Swarovski Pearls



The Ave beads in this rosary are unusual 6mm green labradorite beads. I've never seen green labradorite before and these beads are quite pretty. In bright light many of them have a nice iridescence or "fire". The colors of this iridescence range from blue to green to yellow. I was able to catch some of this "fire" in the photos. Accenting the Ave beads are 10mm Swarovski Crystal pearls. Swarovski Simulate pearls are high quality faux pearls. They have a Swarovski crystal center covered by 4 layers of nacre ( pearly) coating. This gives them a beautiful glow.

The center honors St Brigid one of the patron saints of Ireland and the reverse of the center honors St Patrick. The crucifix is a Celtic crucifix with a Celtic know motif. The Celtic knot has long been an Irish symbol of immortality.  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 Brigid Irish Rosary Celtic Cross in Green Goldstone



The Ave beads in this rosary are 6mm faceted green goldstone beads. Also, these beads can appear black in very dim light but they come alive in bright light. In most of the photos, the beads appear black but actually they are a very dark green glass with flecks of silver foil in them. This foil makes the beads sparkle and dance in the light. I have been unable to catch this quality with my photos, but the white flecks you see in some of the beads is actually the silver foil reflecting light. If you look closely at some of the photos, you might be able to see the green color in some of the beads. The Pater beads are 6mm by 8mm Celtic knot beads. The Celtic knot is one of the Irish symbols of immortality.

The silver colored centerpiece honors both St Brigid and St Patrick. St Brigid is on the front of the center while St Patrick is on the reverse side. The silver colored crucifix is a traditional Celtic crucifix with a Celtic knot motif.  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.

The Avé beads in this rosary are 8mm multicolored fancy agate. The colors range from many shades of green accented by a few rust colored beads. The Pater beads are 12mm white magnesite. Magnesite is often advertised as white turquoise which it is not. However, it is a beautiful stone in and of itself. Because of the size and weight of the beads, this is a nice substantial rosary which has a nice feel in your hands.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, Holy Name Rosaries, to see more of my unbreakable 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.

St Brigid Rosary with Moss Opal



The Ave beads in this rosary are 6mm moss opal beads. This stone is in the opal family, but it does not possess the same iridescent fire that is commonly associated with opals. Nevertheless, these stones have a beauty all their own. I do not know the name of the stone in the Pater beads, but it matches the Ave beads exactly so I used it. :)    The center honors St Brigid and has an image of St Patrick on the back. Both the center and the crucifix is 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 prayer beads.
