Gem Quality Garnet and large, 12mm AA/AB Grape Amethyst--all Sterling Silver--Unbreakable
This new Rosary features absolutely gem-quality Garnet Hail Marys and fat, 12mm AB Amethyst Our Fathers. Small Pearl connectors join the decades and the Our Fathers, and everything is surrounded in low- tarnish 925 Argentium Sterling Silver.
The Garnet beads are looped on both ends, double wrapped, then swirled one more time to make a connection so strong I guarantee it against breaking for life. Period.
The Crucifix and Anne with the young Mary Center have been cast in sterling from the original antiques, then lightly antiqued.
The Hail Marys are 6mm, classic sizing. They have a wonderful rosy red overtones, not too dark, and appear red even in low light.
Length is 26" -- Wire wrapping produces a longer-than-the-commercial Rosaries .
The Sterling Silver wire wrapping has been carefully done, with no 'stickies' from the wire. It is smooth and silky, and prays well. The wrapping gently leads your fingers from bead to bead.
Though it is longer than commercial Rosaries, it fits nicely in the hand, and takes up little room in your purse or pocket. And it will withstand a lifetime of prayer.
Instructions included, in case its been awhile...
As always,it will arrive ready for presentation--boxed in silver and in a lovely organza and velvet beaded gift bag.
