Manly confirmation rosary

A very powerful Hematite wired with family Imaged confirmation rosary! Enjoy!


This rosary was quite the project... it was filled with very spiritual images of family men. This young boy has a multitude of people praying with him when praying the rosary - may the intercession of so many keep him on a safe path for Christ. This weapon is hand wired with heavy nickel wire and hearty hematite stones. Enjoy!

Back in the Day - with my son...

Flash back - a piece my son designed when he was helping with creating the work. Enjoy!


Agape Gifts started out as stress reliever; alone time for this, at that time, home school mommy! BUT God had a different plan... my little children wanted to spend MORE time with me even after spending the entire day working on school. SOOooo I humbly relented and let them "play" with the wire and stones... turned out to be a blessing. Meeting lots and lots of people as we traveled from shows both as a vendor and to vendors. My son learned about running a business and marketing... both learned creative outlet and designs. Both my children are very artistic, but very differently.
Tomorrow and I will share a young design from my daughter. Enjoy!

Take that Satan!!!

A hematite many rosary w 20g nickel secure wiring adorned w the Divine Mercy. Great weapon of prayer!


Agape Gifts' manly rosaries have truly become a huge hit! These rosaries give man a heavy weight of powerful prayers. I had a request to make a rosary that wasn't wimpy or girly - after considerable prayer the manly rosaries were designed. I can't keep them in stock; they are purchased as soon as they are finished. These rosaries invoke a lot of prayers from me since they do that a toll on my hands. I can't make many all at once... they need to be spaced out to give my hands a rest. Enjoy!!

Warm and Cold

This rosary bracelet represents the purification of reconciliation, in that the hematite reminds us to pray as a form of repentance while the pearls are the wisdom and beauty of God cleansing our soul to a marvelous sheen. The pearls are a persistent reminiscent to trust in God’s wisdom with much hope. This bracelet has accompanying earrings and necklace. Enjoy! www.AgapeGifts.org

Spiritual tool to hang on your belt

Another rosary for a MAN of God - great spiritual tool. The hematites and heavier gauge wire give the rosary weight and super strength. The beads on this rosary are hexagonal which give it a nice finger space for each bead. Another great Christmas present from dad to son! Enjoy!

The Man's Rosary

I try to make all the manly rosaries slightly different so that each is unique. It is a challenge in finding different beads and mixing the combination. But nothing substitues the wonderful feel of the iron hematite giving the rosary it's weight - with the strength of the 20g wire. The trick is to wrap the beads tightly so the stone beads don't spin - thus causing a cut through the wire. The rosaries are definitely a 'guy' rosary but still are beautiful. Enjoy!

Our new line of manly rosaries have been a huge hit. They were to be fully revealed in November but when sitting on the design table they would be purchased before I could store them for the upcoming show. A cherished rosary via the manly owner.

October is the month of the Rosary! Today’s piece: A sterling silver and copper hand wired rosary bracelet accented with beautiful pearls and hematite stones. I had great fun figuring out how to execute this piece. I love oval jump rings and I could see how it could ‘house’ a stone or two. I love the dangle on this rosary bracelet, again very settle yet powerful when asked about the design. This piece also has a very cool necklace to compliment it. The color play between the stones and metals is fabulous! This piece is available. If you would like this piece, a similar piece, or any unique piece of jewelry; contact us!
