This rosary was made as a custom piece for Return to Tradition, which is a Catholic YouTube channel that provides a view from Catholic tradition on events that pertain to our Catholic faith.
In designing this rosary, I kept in mind the Holy Family. The Hail Mary beads are White Jade stones that symbolize the purity of St Joseph with the white lily. The Our Father beads are freshwater pearls. I thought of how scripture tells us that our souls are like precious pearls to God. We read the words of our Lord at Matthew 13:45-46, "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it." So it is with our Lord Jesus Christ who chose to come to earth and chose to be tortured and suffered a bitter death for our souls that are of great value to God. The pink Rhodocrosite stones were chosen based upon request. This stone is available to change out to your own preference. Please let me know if you don't see the color or stone you are after. The beads, bead caps on the pearls, tubes, and fittings are .925 sterling silver. The bead caps on the Rhodocrosite are silver-plated TierraCast pewter. The center and crucifix are imported Italian silver oxide. If you would like to change out the center or crucifix, please let me know.
