Our Saint Cecilia pocket rosary is handmade from the heart. One decade of glowing carnelian stones are beaded onto brass using the traditional wrapped wire technique. The cross and fob are solid copper, hand cast in the WhyteWing studio.
St. Cecilia is the patron saint of poets and musicians. To honor her nurturing spirit, I've paired her with authentic a cross featuring Mother Mary with the Child Jesus in her arms.
Carnelian and agate are both types of quartz stone; The “pure” stones in this hue are classified as carnelian, while anything with a bands or wider color variation is classified as an agate. Egyptian lore refers to carnelian as “the setting sun” and associates the rich color with the vitality of life itself. It is the stone of courage and for those who include crystal work with their faith, it is associated with the sacral chakra.
This St. Cecilia pocket rosary is a single decade measuring 9.5 inches long. That includes the fob which is 1 inch in diameter, and the cross which is 1.75 inches from top to bottom. It's a chunky piece, weighing in at 31g overall, perfect for the weight of your faith!
Brass and bronze will patina over time, revealing highlights with your touch. This process is natural; Use of corrosive solvents or dips is not recommended.
**Our handmade rosaries are always boxed for shipping.**
