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.

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.
