Rosary Bracelet with Bronze Miraculous Medal and White Magnesite


The AvĂ© beads in this bracelet are 10mm white magnesite. These beautiful beads are white with tan and black veins in them. White magnesite is often wrongly termed white turquoise. White turquoise is relatively rare and only comes from the US Southwest.  It is quite expensive.   Magnesite is more common, but no less beautiful. Click here to learn more about this bracelet and please visit my shop, Holy Name Rosaries, to view more of my rosaries and rosary bracelets.
Contrasting the magnesite Aves is the 10mm mahogany obsidian Pater bead. The Miraculous medal, crucifix and toggle clasp are antiqued brass. This bracelet would make a wonderful gift. It would also be great to keep for yourself.

Our Mother of Sorrows Rosary with Blue Goldstone



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. There is an angel on one end of the horizontal arm of the cross and the Virgin Mary on the other.   Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, HolyNameRosaries.com to see more of my unbreakable rosary beads and chaplets.
