This original designed and handmade rosary was made by experienced rosary designer and craftswoman, Cindy Schorr. The beads she chose are 6mm highly polished natural amethyst gemstones. These beautiful beads are fascinating to look at while you pray the rosary because each bead is natural gemstone and unique.

The 53 "Ave" beads are elegant in their simple mountings. These same beautiful natural amethyst gemstone beads are used for the 6 "Pater" beads, but they are adorned on each side with crystal aurora borealis rondelles and tiny round crystals, making each enhanced "Pater" bead consist of 5 parts. The centerpiece is an original design and handcrafted by Cindy. It is a crown of thorns with a single natural amethyst gemstone bead inserted in the center. The matching purple crucifix is enameled on both sides and continues the crown of thorns theme with a crown of thorns on each side. The findings used on the rosary all heavy duty: jump rings, eye pins, and soldered Italian chain that is made especially for rosaries. A matching rosary place marker is attached to the center with a lobster claw clasp to "mark your place when your rosary is interrupted by the phone ringing, the baby crying, or the tea kettle whistling."

The white Pieta statue on which the rosary is displayed is included. Also included is a white organza inner bag for this rosary, a velvet outer bag, a "How to Pray the Rosary" brochure, any repairs needed from normal use for one year.

Look forward to delicious, handcrafted cakes for the next twelve months.
