Personalized First Communion Rosary

Today’s piece is a continuation of the line of First Communion Rosaries. This Piece is made with black obsidian, and gray jasper. Both are earthy tones, and coincidentally igneous rock – but that is not important. In the center of the rosary are the words “Jesus Loves Me” and on the opposite side is the child’s name.

First Communion Rosary

Today’s specialty Rosary is another First Communion. This piece has an added touch of personalization with a prayer on the centerpiece. This method is not widely used, and Agape Gifts was one the first company to use it to personalize rosaries. This rosary is made with translucent tiger eye, for the “Hail Mary’s”, and grey hematite, for the “Our Father’s”. As with all our rosaries, this is made with hand-twisted nickel and is unbreakable.

LOVE Bracelet

This bracelet is made from polymer and sterling silver. The polymer was hand-crafted, even down to the color. After the silver rings were made, filled with the clay and cured, Laura then hand-wrote ‘L’ ‘O’ ‘V’ ‘E’ on the polymer. Because it is made with polymer, the bracelet is very light – and having a great message, it is a great anytime, anywhere bracelet!

Knitted Stone Bracelet

Today’s piece is similar to another one we featured awhile ago. However, the previous bracelet, was made of 200 different crystals. This bracelet is made of 300 stone chips. These chips were placed right into the wire when the bracelet was being hand knitted. Since the bracelet is hand-knitted, it is strong, yet flexible.
