“I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three…”
— from Saint Patrick’s Breastplate

The cross of this rosary arises from an open heart — a beautiful old Latin American motif. The cross is solid bronze and double-sided.

The triangular shape of the Paters reminds us of the Holy Trinity. These beads are naturally variegated mother of pearl. Alongside the Paters are beads of matte glass in gold, rose, and silver, as well as smaller beads of mother of pearl.

The Aves are bloodstone, a stone traditionally symbolic of Christ. These beads are a slightly smaller 6mm size, yet — thanks to the way they’re spaced — we still find it 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.
