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.

Mother of Sorrows Blue Goldstone Wire Wrapped Rosary


In this rosary Our Mother of Sorrows is comforted by midnight blue beads that have flecks of metal that sparkle like the stars in the night sky. The Aves are 8mm blue goldstone beads. The term goldstone is actually a misnomer because it is not a stone. It is actually dark blue transparent glass that copper and silver foil flecks have been mixed into. The result is a beautiful, sparkly bead that dances in the light. I've have tried my best to capture the sparkly nature of these beads, but sadly the sparkles look like white specs in the beads. The Pater Beads are 15mm x 15mm filigree heart beads comprised of silver colored metal

The lead free pewter center honors our Mother of Sorrows and has a Pieta on the reverse side. The crucifix is also lead free pewter and the hearts on the ends of each arm of the cross echo the heart shaped Our Father beads.   Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, Holy Name Rosaries to see more of my unbreakable rosaries .

In this rosary, Our Mother of Sorrows is comforted by midnight blue beads that have flecks of metal that sparkle like the stars in the night sky. . The Aves are 6mm blue goldstone beads and the Pater beads are12mm blue goldstone beads. Goldstone is actually a misnomer because it is not stone. It is actually dark blue transparent glass that copper and silver foil flecks have been mixed into. The result is a beautiful, sparkly bead that dances in the light. I've have tried my best to capture the sparkly nature of these beads, but sadly the sparkles look like white specs in the beads.

The lead free pewter center is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. It features an image honoring Our Blessed Mother. It has a subtle luminosity that gives depth and beauty to the image. The intricate Trinity crucifix depicts the Father, Son and Holy Spirit both descending into and emanating out of the Eucharist.

Mother of Sorrows Hematite Rosary

The Ave beads in this handsome rosary are 8mm hematite beads. They are complimented very nicely by the 12mm dark pink and black porcelain Pater beads. All of the beads are accented by 3mm silver colored bead caps. The Mother of Sorrows center is made of lead free pewter and the crucifix is silver colored metal. Because hematite is heavier than most stones, this substantial rosary has a nice heavy weight. Also, the hematite is cool and pleasing to the touch. Real hematite is slightly magnetic and these beads have a light attraction to a magnet. This rosary would make a wonderful gift...it would also be great to keep for yourself.
