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 designs added today

Fall weather is tip toeing into Florida... As I am thinking about fall decorations, I walk into almost any store and what do I see?  Christmas decorations! It just seems like yesterday that Christmas was months away... and now, Christmas is less than two months away.  Gifts... gifts... gifts.  

With this thought in mind, I have added three more items to my online store.  Christmas shopping is right around the corner so I hope to add more items in the next few weeks. 

First, I have added a St. Benedict Chaplet.  It really is a super chaplet because the St. Benedict medal is used for protection from the devil.  Here is a recent quote from Pope Francis, “The devil is here…even in the 21st century! And we mustn’t be naïve, right? We must learn from the Gospel how to fight against Satan.” If you google, St. Benedict medal meaning, you will have a lot of interesting reading about this saint and his medal.

(SOLD)

The second item I added today was an Anglican Rosary with a Celtic cross.  I wanted to add prayer beads for my Episcopalian friends. Both of these two items are adorned with vintage Swarovski crystals.

Celtic Crucifix Rosary - Free Catholic App - Laudate

For those of you who would like to have a wonderful resource on your phone or mobile device, I have found a great one for you.  It is called Laudate and is available for Android and iPhone. I also installed it through Amazon for my Kindle Fire - free.

It has many resources such as prayers, New American Bible, Saint of the Day, Pray-As-You-Go and many others but the one in particular that I wanted to share is saying the Rosary.  It gives you many choices; which includes the Divine Mercy Chaplet.  For those of us who have not been a Catholic, all our lives, this app gives you many resources at your fingertips. The best part is that it is all in one place.

I'm sharing the One Decade Rosary that I finished and posted in my Etsy store earlier today, as I first mentioned in my post yesterday.  The beads are vintage Swarovski and I wire wrapped the chain with brass artistic wire 20 gauge.  This wrap is known as "unbreakable" with normal use.  I love this combination of wire and beads.  Many prayers will be said on this beautiful rosary.
