The cross on this single decade rosary is my "Tree of Peace" cross. The olive branch has long been a symbol of peace... at least since the days of the Old Testament and possibly beyond. The olive tree on this cross has the Latin word "PAX" (Latin for "Peace") etched under it. This cross is just under 1.5" long.
The medal at the end of this tenner is my version of Mary's Immaculate Heart. The fire symbolizes her burning love for her Son, and for us, the crown of roses, is a reminder of her sinless purity and the sword a symbol of her sorrow because of her Son's suffering (Luke 2:34-35). This medal is just over 1 1/4" long.
This little rosary has been constructed in the straight line format with aged solid brass wire and in total is almost 10 3/4" long. The inspiration for all the color pallets in my rosaries come directly from nature - God's amazing creation. The Aves (Hail Marys) are a blend of natural stones, hand made and machine made glass and vintage 8mm beads. The Pater (Our Father) is a 12mm blue Czech glass bead capped with small, petal shaped solid brass caps. Both the cross and the medal are cast in solid bronze.
This rosary comes packaged in a little muslin bag, tucked neatly into a small kraft paper gift box.
---------------------------------
Both the bronze and the sterling parts will age and patina over time adding to the character of each piece.
I do my best to portray colors accurately, however different monitors will vary in how they display colors. Due to the fact that each rosary is handmade, and the metal parts are hand cast, please expect some slight variations in each piece.
