Product Description
This Dreamers’ Amethyst Rosary is a five decade holy rosary created as an act of devotion and offered with St. Cecilia in mind. St. Cecilia is the Patroness of Poets and Musicians. Pray the mysteries on natural amethyst and antique silver, and for your Apostles Creed you’ll have this openwork crucifix. The centerpiece is a romantic view of Cecilia hand wrought in sterling silver at my own workbench.
Amethyst is the stone of poets and dreamers, and the birthstone for the month of February. This natural stone shows the full range of amethyst color from the pale lilac at the crystal heart to the stormy purples found near the molten exterior of the geode. It is said to clear the way for psychic inspiration and guidance, and to set the creative juices flowing.
This Dreamers’ Amethyst Rosary measures approximately 29 inches around the loop, with an additional 6 inches for the pendant from the top of centerpiece to the bottom of the cross. The amethyst decade beads are 8mm round natural stone. The Our Father beads are the only surviving pieces of an antique French rosary, hand wrought in .800 silver. The crucifix was rescued from another antique and is marked .830 silver. The centerpiece, as mentioned above, is hand wrought .925 sterling silver from my own workshop. This piece is assembled entirely by my hand using .925 sterling silver wire, chain and findings. This rosary weighs 55 grams (just over 2 ounces) all together.
Sterling silver will patina over time, revealing highlights with your touch. This process is natural; Use of corrosive solvents or dips is not recommended.
**Our fine rosaries are always boxed for shipping.**
