Holy Face Rosary in Mahogany Obsidian and Onyx



The focal point of this rosary is the striking center with an image of the Holy Face of Christ taken from the Shroud of Turin. Accenting this center are the 8mm mahogany obsidian Ave beads. These beads are a rich, dark brown with black swirled into it. The 12mm black onyx beads are a nice compliment to both the Ave beads and the center. The crucifix features the crown of thorns and nails. This handsome rosary would make a wonderful gift for either a man or a woman.

Three Hail Mary Chaplet with St Benedict Crucifix Onyx



This chaplet is comprised of three beautiful 8mm black onyx beads. Accenting these beads are silver colored bead caps. The Immaculate Heart medal has "Pray for us" on the reverse side. . The crucifix has a two sided St Benedict medal behind our Lord's head. Both the medal and the crucifix are silver colored metal. This chaplet is just under 6 1/2 inches long. It would make a wonderful gift or would be great to keep for yourself!

The Three Hail Marys devotion has enjoyed a long history in the church. The first known person to engage in this prayer is St. Anthony of Padua. He was followed by many saints and doctors of the church, among whom was St. Melchtilde. St Gertrude wrote of the Apparition that St. Melchtilde experienced with the Three Hail Marys devotion . Later, St Gertrude, herself experienced an apparition of the Blessed Virgin who promised a good death to anyone who practiced the devotion.

New in the Shop: St Kateri Rosary

St Kateri Rosary at Laude Arts and Gifts
 The Avé beads in this rosary are striking 8mm Chinese Turquoise beads. These beads are natural turquoise from the Hubei mines in China. They have been stabilized to preserve the stone. The Pater beads are 10mm black onyx beads. They provide a beautiful contrast to the turquoise Ave beads. The center honors St Kateri and the back is inscribed with her name. Both the center and the crucifix are silver colored metal. This is a new center, but it has a vintage look to it. I just love the way it feels in my hands.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please take a minute to browse in my shop, Laude Arts and Gifts, to see my other unbreakable rosaries.

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.
