“I arise today through the strength of heaven… the swiftness of wind.”
— from St. Patrick’s Breastplate

The botonée cross of this rosary is solid bronze, cast from a 19th century Coptic antique.

The Paters are mother of pearl. Their shape and luminosity remind us of winds. They’re placed between small spheres of red jasper.

The Aves are Botswana agate. 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.
