Seeking the Kingdom – Heirloom pearl and bronze rosary

Description

Heaven is the pearl of great price; the great pearl the merchant finds then sells all he has to buy it. No price is too great a cost in comparison to not obtaining the kingdom of Heaven.

“Seek first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides, Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself” Mt 6:33-4

When the worries of life overwhelm you, grab this rosary and start asking Mary for help. Cry out to the Lord and He will take care of everything. Keep your eyes fixed on Heaven, and all else will be well.

On the heirloom style:

Once I made the first amber rosary with the small-loop wire-wrapped links, I realized I really enjoy the soft repetition of linking bead after bead into a chain. And I absurdly loved how it looked and felt. I finally found a truly heirloom method of rosary making that actually looked good.

Now, you may be thinking, what’s the big deal with this wire wrapping?

So, if you notice on each bead link, there are two wraps between the loop and the bead. This is the wire turning back on itself and making it so the link NEVER opens up. That means no pulling it out of the rosary pouch only to find it in three pieces.

It’s a rosary that is literally meant to be heirloom. My other rosaries are sturdy, but this one should never need to come back to me.

One caveat off the bat about that though. You still have to take good care of your rosary.

So PLEASE remember that all things can break with excessive use. Under normal, conscientious use, there will be no spontaneous breaking of these links, but, for instance, if you keep this rosary in a tight pocket every day, all day and get it crushed under you or against something, a link can bend and bend and bend and then break, or, even worse, the bead can break.

These repairs can be made, and I would be delighted to do so, but as time goes on, I might not have extra beads or I might be gone. So do be gentle and take good care of your rosary. (If you want a truly unbreakable rosary, get a knotted cord rosary without medals.)

Bronze is the cost effective alternative to sterling silver – it has the longevity at a fraction of the price.

This listing is for this exact rosary shown in the photos. The beads themselves are smaller than my standard rosaries, but with this construction method, the rosary is longer, but it will still fit in the palm of your hand. The beads are stone, so there is some weight to them.
