Vintage Stained Glass Birthstone Keepsake Rosary

I made this beautiful keepsake rosary as a birthday gift for a friend of mine. She has 10 children, perfect to fill a decade of a rosary! When I gathered all of the beads, I was struck at the beautiful combination of colors, one of a kind for her family. The Aves are the birthstones/gemstones of her children in birth order. The Paters represent her and her husband's birthstones. The centerpiece is an antique brass Miraculous Medal, and the St. Benedict cross hangs with a Saint Michael/Guardian Angel medal.  The finished product is absolutely gorgeous! The pictures, in this case, truly do not do this one-of-a-kind rosary justice. Birthday blessings to you, GK!!

Blue Faceted Glass First Holy Communion Rosary

Czech pressed faceted glass in blue is used for the Aves in this beautiful rosary. Sterling silver plated Bali style beads are used for the Paters. The full-size rosary has a saint Benedict crucifix, and the single decade rosary has the official papal cross of Pope Francis.
