I struggled with how to title this new, Robin's-egg blue Rosary--
The cool, pastel color and traditional sizing make this ideal for Baptisms or First Communion -- but grown-ups will love it to as an unbreakable pocket Rosary for daily use! Take your pick of reasons, but do check out the listing, Amazonite Rosary , now in my Etsy shop!
Story has it that Amazonite was so named because it's blue resembled the river of the same name--but since the Amazon is mostly brown, I'm at a loss to explain. The stone was discovered in Russia, for pete's sake...
nonetheless, the color is lovely and is set off nicely by the golden brass wrapping.
I also thought the airy carved bone flower bead Paters went well with the open work Crucifix--a Crucifix that is patterned on both sides, by the way. Then, of course, the Blessed Virgin center is an art deco piece whose shapes mirrors the cross ends--so it all came together quickly.
Next on the bead board--faceted amethyst sparkles in a new bronze Rosary!
