New Czech Alabaster Opal AB Fired Polished Beads * Vintage Swarovski Beads * Five Decade Rosary * Stainless Steel Wire

New Five Decade Rosary - Czech Alabaster Opal Beads - Swarovski Vintage AB Clear

I am really pleased with my new white AB Czech beads and the way they look with the Swarovski vintage beads from my collection.  It is a great blend of the vintage and the new!

If anyone questions the value of stainless steel in a rosary, they would know how strong it is by the callouses on my hands.  When you are bending the wire, it takes added strength so it leaves its mark on the palms of my hands afterward.  However, knowing that the rosary will last a lifetime gives me great pleasure.  So, if you are unsure about which rosary wire to use, stainless steel is a great option because it is amazingly strong, yet light in weight.  It will continue to look the same for years to come. Anything will break if used inappropriately, but if used as it is made to be used, it will last for years and years.  My thought is that it would make a wonderful wedding gift which should look exactly the same when the couple is celebrating their 75th Anniversary!

Five Decade Rosary - Light Blue

Happy Palm Sunday, everyone!

I'm photographing my Etsy store items in natural light.  It is a long labor of love.

Rosary, Necklace, and Ready to Ship

Today, I continued to photograph more of my Etsy store items in natural light.  Even though I love my photographs previously posted on a beautiful satin cloth, I decided to change my theme to natural wood, tile, and natural lighting.

This first image is a beautiful five decade rosary which is wire wrapped and handmade using vintage beads.

The second image is a new necklace which I've just added to the Etsy store today.  It is wire wrapped using brass wire and vintage beads 6mm clear Swarovski crystals .

When someone purchases an item from my Etsy store, I place the item in a draw string pouch, and place it in a gift box with a cross on the cover. The above necklace is used in the image below as an example.

Vintage Bead Swarovski Chess Round Crystal Rosary

This beautiful rosary has some of my most favorite beads.  They are vintage Chessboard Swarovski beads.  They are clear in color but pick up many rainbow colors due to their multiple facets hitting the light.

This week, my focus is photography.  A new set of photographs will be added each day until all items have been photographed in natural light.  The natural light shows the beautiful colors of the vintage crystals.  I hope you enjoy these updated photos from my online store as we move closer to Easter. 

New Coral & Brass Five Decade Rosary and Two New Bracelets

Tonight, I have added two new bracelets and a unique, lightweight 5 Decade Rosary.  

The bracelets are made using the "unbreakable" wire wrapping technique and is my favorite design. I believe the bracelets are very feminine and beautiful with the Swarovski vintage beads wrapped with golden brass wire.  

I hope you like the newest rosary that I added this evening.  I wanted to make a rosary that was light in weight and used a light vintage bead for those who want to carry a rosary with little weight so that the rosary was very light in your hand.  

I hope you take a look at these new items in Let Our Light Shine.
