Spring Time celebrating Jesus

This first communion bracelet was made for a special little girl that I call my name-sake! Enjoy!




This Swarovski and Chinese Crystal rosary bracelet brought much joy to a little girl, wanting her priest to have something special to bless! The colors are amazing and just dance together. I hope she wears it offering up many prayers! Enjoy!

A new commitment with the Church

Confirmation Rosary bracelet with the confirmandi's favorite colors! Enjoy!



Here we have spring stones of peridot, rose quartz and pearls wired with stainless steel wire making a ladder rosary bracelet accompanied with six image medallions for the Our Father pieces. Each side of the medallion holds a special message for the young confirmandi - she actually had input on the design. I actually saw this piece recently and it is holding up very nicely - I too had a similar design representing my family during my prayer time.  Enjoy!

How Exciting to Receive Jesus for the first time!

It is First Communion Season as well - enjoy this rosary bracelet for 1st Communion!


I remember making this First Communion bracelet for a little girl who loved purple (my kinda girl!!). I loved the image of the Blessed Mother on the reserve side of the Body Blood and Divine of Christ. I pray this little girl still uses her rosary bracelet. The Hail Mary beads are fiber glass and the Our Father end beads are amethyst with a hand wired heart clasp. Enjoy!

The royal purple

Confirmation Rosary bracelet for a young woman initiated into the Catholic Faith, Enjoy!



Another one of my go-to-designs that have been tweaked and improved over the years. Here is the solution for a full rosary available at a moments notice since it sits on your wrist. Here we have used amethyst stones chained wired into five decades with a wired beaded bar leading into the Our Father beads. The sterling silver five way cross is one of my favorites.  I really enjoy this design and have referenced it often... including a variation for myself which won an international award in 2015. Enjoy!

Come HolySpirit!!

Confirmation upon  us I thought I would share some Ag gift ideas!! Sponsor rosary bracelet! Enjoy!



This rosary bracelet was an awesome commission piece... I love working on stings... they are my favorite! This piece has hand made garnet beads, representing the confirmandi's birthstone, with images of the patron Saint, Confirmandi and Sponsor. On the backside of this beautiful piece is a letter from the student being confirmed to his grandmother, the Sponsor. Precious keepsake. The metal is sterling silver with a magnetic clasp and safety catch. This bracelet design is one of my go-to designs... I a have a few... but this one is always classic. I remember the time well spent designing and creating the clustered garnet stones representing family always together either physically or prayerfully! Enjoy! St. Nicholas pray for us!

Early Creation - inspired by my daughter

Sweet little hands help inspire this crystal necklace. Enjoy!


My daughter liked all the sparkly pretty beads... that were small! She would get a design laid-out, begin the process and then say "I am tired Mommy, will you finish it?" Perhaps it was a mistake but I always helped her get to the end working together. When she got older I told her she needed to complete her pieces and that was the slow end to her hands on designing. She now gives her opinion and thoughts freely which I relish as well. But her little hands picked all the blue and clear crystals for Mary adorned with a sterling silver cross as well as hand twisted chain work near the clasp. Enjoy!
