"Splendor of Fire" - Carnelian and Jasper Handmade Rosary
"Splendor of Fire" - Carnelian and Jasper Handmade Rosary
“I arise today through the strength of heaven… the splendor of fire.”
— from St. Patrick’s Breastplate
The Five Wounds cross of this rosary is solid bronze, cast from an antiquity. It’s an ancient design — the five circles represent the five wounds of Christ.
The Paters are semi-translucent carnelian — they remind us of flames. They’re placed alongside disks and ribbed beads of solid brass.
The Aves are silver leaf jasper. They’re a slightly smaller 6mm size, yet — thanks to the way they’re spaced — they’re easy to distinguish one from another by touch.
Separating the Aves are beads of matte glass. The connecting rings are solid bronze.
The rosary is strung on premium quality Soft Flex jewelers’ cable, composed of 49 strands of steel encased in nylon, with a test strength of 26 pounds; each end is double-crimped for security.
