Part 3 of the Most Beautiful Rosary Bracelet Ever!
The pentacle reason for all wire twisting was for the Confirmandi, Kyle, who was entering into the Catholic Church as an adult via the sacrament of Confirmation. Kyle’s rosary displayed all the information pertaining to this great sacrament: The Bishop; date; parish; location; date; sponsor; Saint’s name and image along with a dove image reminding him of the Holy Spirit’s presence. In the end everyone was excited about the gift being given and surprised about the gift received.

Part 2 of the Most Beautiful Rosary Bracelet EVER!
Since Grandma was having hip surgery, the family was not sure if she would make it for the confirmation, so she had a proxy. I was inspired to make a finger rosary for the proxy. I made a matching finger rosary with St. Nicholas image, garnet stones and the Confirmation event information. In the end, the Grandpa was so happy to have part of the commemorative made just for him.

The Best Commerative Rosary Bracelet EVER
This rosary has wonderful multiple stories attached to it, but we will first reveal the story about the rosary bracelet. This is actually a sponsor gift of thanksgiving. The family approached me to make a confirmation rosary for their sons; still bating on what to give the sponsor, his grandmother.
I suggested a rosary bracelet at the time, but the idea was dismissed to be pondered further, everything is in God’s time. As the confirmation date approached, we re-visited the need for a sponsor gift and as our conversation unfolded, we returned to a rosary bracelet with great ideas of mirroring his rosary of garnets and images of St. Nicholas with the date of the event. Unfortunately, I received a phone call stating that grandma had to have hip surgery and may not even be present at the Confirmation Mass thus needing to change some information on the Confirmandi’s rosary (another story) and possibly pick a different sponsor; the decision to keep Grandma as the sponsor and have Grandpa the proxy. As the bracelet was being designed on paper, my daughter had the idea to have their picture on the bracelets, which then lead to having the Confirmandi write a special note to his grandmother; the secret mission was set, excitement is in the air! Neither the Confirmandi nor the Sponsor knew what they were getting but each know what the other was receiving… tricky communications for the mom.
As I finally sat down to work on the actually work on the rosary bracelet, picture and letter in hand, I spent hours praying for the recipient of the bracelet… little did I know that on that exact day Grandma went into the hospital for hip surgery and recovery, unbeknownst to me. What a wonderful feeling to know that our labor of love and prayers helped Grandma get through her surgery AND participate in the confirmation celebration.

This story is about a Wedding Rosary. This wedding rosary is for a couple who has already been together for 18 years - so even if you don't have it for the wedding, they also make great gifts for your spouse on anniversaries. These rosaries will last a life-time carrying the memory of your love for one another. YOU can have a family memorabilia to be passed on for ever. In the rosary below, Agape Gifts used the wedding theme colors for the Hail Mary's; On the Our Father's are pictures of the couples from thier wedding day, and on the opposite side is the couple's monogram. In the center of the rosary is an image of the presiding Pope during thier wedding "blessing" thier marriage. Definitely a priceless item!

Thanks!
Thank you to all those who keep up with our blog and facebook.
Here is the unique Rememberance Rosary. This Rosary is not like any other rosary because in the centerpeice is a copy of the Loved-One's finger print. On the Our Father Beads is all his occupations, and each of his siblings are on the opposite sides of the Our Father "squares". Even the olive-wood beads are meaningful. Initially our customer had lost an olive wood rosary given to her as a gift from this person, from the Vatican, - so now, she has an olive-wood rosary that he has "touched". Then, the customer also purchased individual finger-rosaries for each of her loved-one's siblings. The finger rosary had a group picture with the loved one, along with his finger-print on the medallion.
