"Heart of The Mother Chaplet - Jasper Gemstone"
A Chaplet dedicated to The Mother's Heart, for meditations on both the Seven Joys and the Seven Sorrows of Mary, The Mother of God.
This lovely Madonna and Child medal is a Solid Bronze recast of a hand-crafted antique of Latin American origin, dated late 1700s to early 1800s. Large prayer beads are 7x12mm cream colored Jasper gemstone, the small prayer beads are 6mm faceted Red Tigereye gemstone. Spacer beads include Tea Dyed Bone and matte gold seed beads.
All items are handmade by an American artisan with quality materials--each piece is a work of art.
Strung prayer beads are made with state-of-the-art beading cable. The cable is actually 49 strands of nylon-coated stainless steel wire with 28-35 pound test strength, but it remains extremely flexible--it drapes, bends and folds like silk cord.
Crucifixes and crosses are hand cast by American metalsmiths from antique and vintage pieces in sterling silver and solid bronze then antiqued to restore the original patina.
