Holy Spirit Giver of Life Rosary - bronze crucifix, center, red gold Czech cross beads, vintage hand cut beads, lead-free shops pewter findings

This is a lovely rosary with the easy to pray on flat oval Czech beads in a beautiful glowing red color with just a touch of orange. I love to see the light pass through these beads because the vibrancy of the red speaks to me of the Holy Spirit shops which gives us life!

The crucifix and center are made of true bronze and are vintage replicas of earlier pieces. The center is openwork and has a cross and lilies.

The paters are gorgeous vintage hand cut glass beads from an old necklace I inherited that was falling apart. They work very well with the piece framed by American made beadcaps of brass oxide colored lead-free pewter.

Other beads include Chinese crystals, Japanese seed beads, Czech druks and firepolished beads, as well as additional pewter beads.

The entire rosary is strung on strong 49 strand stainless steel wire and double crimped to create an heirloom quality piece. However, please keep in mind that most of the beads are glass and may chip or break if the rosary is mishandled.

The rosary comes with a storage pouch and "How to Pray the Rosary" instructions.
