MUSEUM INSPIRED SERIES: ‘ENDURING MERCY III’ –

SMALL PATER BEADS are silver filigrees, the design dates back to the early filigrees on rosaries as seen in museums and books on antique rosaries and chaplets.

LARGE PATER BEAD: POMANDER: Silver filigrees are from age old designs. This large filigree bead is a traditional Pomander bead, a holder that was filled with spices and herbs to protect the keeper against plague and to cover the body odor typical with sparse bathing!

AVES: Large Coral (root), typical of the originals from the Renaissance period. Coral was believed to be contain healing properties.

.…. (Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, And the rest of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel.) 3 He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD, his God; And they shall remain, for now his greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth; 4 he shall be peace. NAB…..MICAH 5:2-4

INSPIRATION: Inspired by antique rosaries and chaplets in European museums and books from the 16c up.
Working with rare components does make a difference in the finished design. Crucifixes, rosary centers and religious medals cast from antiques in sterling and bronze along with hard to find antique beads (or those inspired by them) do make the difference. But most of all, it is in the way a designer chooses to put it all together. These old rosaries and chaplets from the 16 – 19c speak to the heart in a special way, regardless if they were put together by an artist or by a guild – or simply by someone who took what they had and strung it into a prayer chain. But the results are so beautiful that they are now resting in museums all over Europe

ABOUT OUR MEDALS: All our crucifixes, rosary centers and religious medals are hand cast from antique and vintage pieces in sterling silver and solid bronze, then antiqued to restore original patina.
