Black Onyx Rosary with Bronze Crucifix, Handmade in NZ
$55.00
Full size black onyx gemstone Catholic rosary beads, with traditional center of Our Lady of Grace and bronze radiant crucifix. A special rosary for men or women, which would make a thoughtful gift or an addition to a rosary collection.
The beads in these handmade prayer beads are individual linked with brass rosary wire, giving the set nice flow through your hands as you pray the rosary. The Ave beads are 8mm round polished black onyx, and the Paters are glossy faceted onyx ovals capped with brass filigree and tiny onyx beads.
This rosary is well made for years of regular prayer, and is suitable for rugged hands. It comes with my personal guarantee.and is bound to become a family heirloom rosary.
At the center is a bronze medal of our Lady of Grace, and the traditional style crucifix is a style known as a "radiant" cross as it has a burst of light emanating from behind the figure of Christ. The arms end in 3-pointed lily shapes, representing the 3-fold nature of the Holy Trinity. Taken together the 12 points of the arms stand for the 12 Apostles who went out from the Cross to carry the Good News to the world.
Length from mid-back to end of crucifix: 63cm / 25 inches;
Crucifix: 5cm / 2 inches tall;
Beads: 8mm round & 15mm oval black onyx.
This handsome rosary feels cools and smooth in the hands and will be a pleasure to use and attractive to look at. It comes in a handmade (by me) lined cotton rosary pouch to keep it in.
