"We are not on earth to guard a museum, but to cultivate a flourishing garden of life."
— Pope John XXIII


The charming Pater bead of this one-of-a-kind chaplet is Italian Murano glass, in spring green, sky blue, lilac and rose. Alongside the Pater are beads of solid brass.

Venetian glassmakers on the island of Murano are famous for their beads — 500 years ago, they developed the technique they used to produce this bead.

The lovely crucifix is absolutely covered in leaves and flowers. It's hand-cast from a vintage original, in solid bronze.

The Aves are riverstone, separated by matte glass.

The connecting rings are solid bronze and brass.
