Baptism Rosary, New Zealand Made Greenstone Rosary
$47.50
A beautiful baptism rosary handmade in New Zealand with greenstone (nephrite jade) beads. I've used smaller 6mm round greenstone for the 5 decades of Hail Mary beads, in a mid-green colour which is lovely with the silver wire.
The rosary features a special colour baptism center medal, showing a baby in a crib with the Holy Spirit above on one side and cherub angels on the other. A beautiful baby's first rosary and a perfect choice for a baptism gift from a family member of Godparents.
The 6mm greenstone beads are separately linked with silver rosary wire, which gives the rosary good drape in the hands. The Our Father beads are larger 8mm round nephrite jade beads, and I've finished them with tiny silver bead caps and wire-wrapping for that distinct handmade look.
The crucifix is the popular "grapes & vine" style, in lead and nickle-free pewter made in Italy.
Length from center back to end of crucifix: 45cm / 17.7 inches
Center medal: 1.5cm / 0.6 inch
Crucifix:: 4cm / 1.6 inches tall.
This traditional style rosary will be a treasured memento as baby grows older, and the smaller sized beads are ideal for little fingers beginning to learn the rosary. It comes attractively packaged in a handmade lined cotton rosary pouch to present it in.
