Prayer to Saint Dymphna
O God, we humbly beseech You through Your servant, St Dymphna, who sealed with her blood the love she bore You, to grant relief to those who suffer from mental afflictions and nervous disorders, especially *NAME*. Saint Dymphna, helper of the mentally afflicted, pray for us!

I love the colors that came together to create this beautiful bracelet to make honor to St. Dymphna. I added glass lampwork beads and czech. glass beads enhancing the medals that I included of Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Medjugorje, Our Lady of Guadaupe, Infant of Prague and others.

Miraculous Medal

"The Blessed Virgin was standing on a globe, and her face was beautiful beyond words. Her fingers were covered with precious jewels whose light dazzled me. And I heard: 'Behold the symbol of the graces I shed upon those who ask for them!' Then an oval frame formed around the Blessed Virgin and I read in letters of gold: 'O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.' The vision reversed and I beheld the letter 'M' surmounted by a cross, at the foot of the cross, a bar, and below all, the Heart of Jesus crowned with thorns, and the Heart of Mary pierced with a sword. A voice said to me, 'Have a medal struck after this model. Persons who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck.' "Sister (now Saint) Catherine Labour".
THE RAYS BEING DISPERSED BY OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL CAME FROM THE GEMSTONES ON HER FINGERS

I just love creating a bracelet to make honor to Our Blessed Honor and I love this medal in particular, so unique. I love creating one bracelet embracing Our Lady's Medals with crystals and pearls like creating a crown just for Her. In this bracelet I added large white aurora borealis crystals and smaller 8mm with glass pearls.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Our Lady of Perpetual Succour
(Or OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP.)
It represents the Mother of God holding the Divine Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel present before Him the instruments of His Passion. Over the figures in the picture are some Greek letters which form the abbreviated words Mother of God, Jesus Christ, Archangel Michael, and Archangel Gabriel respectively. It was brought to Rome towards the end of the fifteenth century by a pious merchant, who, dying there, ordered by his will that the picture should be exposed in a church for public veneration. It was exposed in the church of San Matteo, Via Merulana, between St. Mary Major and St. John Lateran. Crowds flocked to this church, and for nearly three hundred years many graces were obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. The picture was then popularly called the Madonna di San Matteo. The church was served for a time by the Hermits of St. Augustine, who had sheltered their Irish brethren in their distress. These Augustinians were still in charge when the French invaded Rome (1812) and destroyed the church. The picture disappeared; it remained hidden and neglected for over forty years, but a series of providential circumstances between 1863 and 1865 led to its discovery in an oratory of the Augustinian Fathers at Santa Maria in Posterula. *Catholic Encyclopedia

This is one of my favorite icons as well of Our Blessed Mother and Baby Jesus. I really loved creating this bracelet as well with a stunning porcelain cameo of this icon surrounding it with glass lampwork beads that resembel the image in color. I also added other Catholic medals as well.

Sacred Heart of Jesus

From the depth of my nothingness, I prostrate myself before Thee, O Most Sacred, Divine and Adorable Heart of Jesus, to pay Thee all the homage of love, praise and adoration in my power.Amen. - - St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Prayer to the Sacred Heart by Saint Francis De Sales
May Thy Heart dwell always in our hearts!May Thy Blood ever flow in the veins of our souls!O sun of our hearts, Thou givest life to all things by the rays of Thy goodness!I will not go until Thy Heart has strengthened me, O Lord Jesus!May the Heart of Jesus be the King of my heart!Blessed be God. Amen.

I just love very much how this bracelet came out with a stunning porcelain cameo of Our Most Loving and Humble Sacred Heart of Jesus with His heart radiating so much love. I also used natural ruby quartz.

When in times of trial and tribulation always keep His heart close to yours and let Him take your burdens away. Ask Him to surround you with His love because He will always be with you.

St. Jude Relic

Patronage: Desperate situations; forgotten causes; hospitals, hospital workers; impossible causes

Prayer to Saint Jude Thaddeus
Glorious Saint Jude, with faith in your goodness I ask your help today. As one of Christ's chosen Apostles, you are a pillar and foundation of His Church on earth. You are among the elders who stand always before God's throne. Brother Jude, you are renowned for your kinship with Christ and your physical resemblance to our Savior. Help me remain close to Christ and resemble Him in my outlook and actions. Holy Apostle, you are venerated for your work of preaching the gospel and your faithfulness to Christ by a martyr's death. Assist me to preach the good news of Christ by word and example, and remain steadfast in His service as you were. From your place of glory, do not forget the needs and difficulties of Christ's little ones like me, still struggling on the way home to God. Pray for me that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (name special problem) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. Intercede for us all, gracious, brother Saint Jude, and pray for us to the Lord our God in our daily toil and our necessities. Amen.

St. Jude is one of my favorite saints that I love making a bracelet in his honor. I feel his loving peaceful energy and I like to convey that in my bracelets and I mostly choose colors that convey his love. Which most of the time is green combined with other soothing colors.

Our Lady of Lourdes

Our Lady of Lourdes: France, 1858
Our Lady appeared to 14 year old Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France, 18 times from February through July, 1858. During the apparitions she told Bernadette to dig a hole which later in the day produced a stream of water, bringing about thousands of spiritual and physical cures even to this day. Mary pleaded for "penitence! Penitence! Penitence!" and urged us to "Pray to God for sinners". She called herself the "Immaculate Conception".

HOLY WATER OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES
O ever Immaculate Virgin, mother of mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comforter of the afflicted, you know my needs, my troubles, my sufferings, cast me a look of pity. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a priviledged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favours, and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal, I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence & implore your maternal intercession

I love creating such a bracelet to honor Our most beautiful Lady of Lourdes. I love using the aqua crystals to represent the Holy Water and the roses dedicated to Our Blessed Mother

"FLOWERS FOR OUR BLESSED MOTHER"
What a better way to express your love to our Blessed Mother as with flowers and prayers for Her and Her Son, Jesus.
Our Lady of the rosary is Our Lady of the roses, because the flowers are the symbols of greeting offered to the Mother of God. We greet her with spiritual flowers

Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel

Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, or of the Scapular
July 16 The Church celebrates on this day the feast of the Scapular of Mount Carmel. The scapular, which derives its name from the Latin word scapulæ, meaning shoulders, is a dress which covers the shoulders. It is mentioned in the rule of Saint Benedict as worn by monks over their other dress when they were at work, and it now forms a regular part of the religious dress in the old Orders. But it is best known among Catholics as the name of two little pieces of cloth worn out of devotion to the Blessed Virgin over the shoulders, under the ordinary garb, and connected by strings. The devotion of the scapular, now almost universal in the Catholic Church, began with the Carmelites. The history of its origin is as follows: During the thirteenth century the Carmelite Order suffered great persecution, and July 16, 1251, while Saint Simon Stock, then general of the Order, was at prayer, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him, holding in her hand a scapular. Giving it to the saint, she said,
"Receive, my dear son, this scapular of thy Order, as the distinctive sign of my confraternity, and the mark of the privilege which I have obtained for thee and the children of Carmel. It is a sign of salvation, a safeguard in danger, and a special pledge of peace and protection till the end of time. Whosoever dies wearing this shall be preserved from eternal flames."

I finally had a chance to make a bracelet to make honor to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. I was inspired to add earth color tones, adding the bronze color czech. glass beads, pearls and I also added narutal Tiger Eye gemstones, embracing the beautiful porcelain cameo of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel giving it a tranquil nostalgic look.

Virgin Mary Cameo

I created this beautiful bracelet with a stunning Virgin Mary 3D cameo surrounded by flowers.
I added aluminium roses and beautiful glass lampwor beads with roses as well. I added goldonte saints medals and vintage medals.

Our Lady of Guadalupe

In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 474 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin.

God of power and mercy, you blessed the Americas at Tepeyac with the presence of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. May her prayers help all men and women to accept each other as brothers and sisters. Through your justice present in our hearts, may your peace reign in the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

I always love making a bracelet honoring our most humble Lady of Guadalupe. I love to create them surrounded by flowers and pearls. On this bracelet I added a beautiful colorful medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe surrounded by flowers.

Sorrowful Mother- Our Lady's Tears Bracelet

I created this bracelet as a reminder of the tears shed by Our Blessed Sorrowful Mother. I added a One Decade Rosary of Our Lady's Tears ROSARY OF OUR LADY'S TEARS
Next to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus there is nothing more touching and effective than the tears of Our Heavenly Mother. How many tears She shed on the Way of the Cross and when She stood beneath the Cross, She shed bitter tears in reparation for the many insults Her Divine Son then and which He would receive in the future. She wept bitter tears for the many souls who would not submit to the Commandments of God, and so would be lost forever. In recent centuries, too, She wept tears of sorrow.

I added White Aurora Borealis Czech. Glass teardrop beads representing Her tears, also added teardrop pearls.

St. Padre Pio Slide Relic Charm Bracelet

FATHER PIO ( visible sign in his body of Christ Passion)
In September 1918, while praying before a cross, he received the stigmata and the first priest ever to be so blessed.
I. O my Jesus, You have said "Truly I say to you, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you". Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of... Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory be to the Father...Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

This novena was recited daily by St. Pio
"Yes, I love the cross and only the cross. I love it because I see it always on the shoulders of Jesus. Now jesus sees celarly that all my life and all my heart is vowed to Him and to His sufferings" - Padre Pio

I created this bracelet with St. Padre Pio's Slide relic surrounding it with Czech. glass beads and lampwork beads and adding a couple of vintage charms. Love how this combination of colors just radiates a peaceful but yet uplifting feeling.

Jesus Christ Cameo Bracelet

I created this bracelet with a 3D Jesus' Cameo as a holy reminder of the ultimate sacrifice of Our Saviour Jesus Christ.

I attached a one decade rosary bracelet created with black Czech. glass beads. I also included a vintage locket with an image of Our Sorroful Mother and vintage medals and new medals.

Virgin Mary Cameo Bracelet

This is a very inspirational bracelet. Motherly love. This tender beautifully detailed cameo shows the maternal love of Our Blessed Mother to Our Saviour which inspires our motherly love to our own children.

I surrounded this cameo with beautiful glass lampwork beads, pearls, czech. glass beads ane patron saint medals

Vintage & New Medals Charm Braclet

I truly loved creating this three strand charm bracelet - the old world meeting the new world. I used vintage copper chain, vintage St. Therese Relic Detente, other vintage medals, St. Damiano Relic and a large Our Lady of San Juan De Los Lagos medal. Includes St. Patrick, Miraculous Medal, Praying Hands and many beads and gemstones.

St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi, lover of all creation, champion of justice, Patron Saint of animals and the environment, founded the Franciscan Order.
St. Francis of Assisi experienced all of God's creation as sacred. He saw God in "Brother Sun" and "Sister Moon." He preached to the birds and animals.

Father Francis and his companions were making a trip through the Spoleto Valley near the town of Bevagna. Suddenly, Francis spotted a great number of birds of all varieties. There were doves, crows and all sorts of birds. Swept up in the moment, Francis left his friends in the road and ran after the birds, who patiently waited for him. He greeted them in his usual way, expecting them to scurry off into the air as he spoke. But they moved not.
Filled with awe, he asked them if they would stay awhile and listen to the Word of God. He said to them: “My brother and sister birds, you should praise your Creator and always love him: He gave you feathers for clothes, wings to fly and all other things that you need. It is God who made you noble among all creatures, making your home in thin, pure air. Without sowing or reaping, you receive God’s guidance and protection.”
At this the birds began to spread their wings, stretch their necks and gaze at Francis, rejoicing and praising God in a wonderful way according to their nature. Francis then walked right through the middle of them, turned around and came back, touching their heads and bodies with his tunic.
Then he gave them his blessing, making the sign of the cross over them. At that they flew off and Francis, rejoicing and giving thanks to God, went on his way.

ANIMAL BLESSINGS
For all animals:
Blessed are you, Lord God,maker of all living creatures.On the fifth and sixth days of creation,you called forth fish in the sea,birds in the air and animals on the land.You inspired St. Francis to call all animalshis brothers and sisters.We ask you to bless this animal.By the power of your love,enable it to live according to your plan.May we always praise youfor all your beauty in creation.Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.

I was inspired to create this bracelet in a whimsical way with the same respect, honor and admiration to St. Francis. I added a whimsical cat brooch, handpainted glass beads with horses and birds, wood beads.

Virgin Mary Bracelet

I created this bracelet with a beautiful image of our Blessed Mother and Child button medal with vintage pearls and surrounded by glass lampwork beads and lampwork beads . It has a very pleasing and peaceful feel to it.

Our Lady of Lourdes

Our Lady of Lourdes: France, 1858
Our Lady appeared to 14 year old Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France, 18 times from February through July, 1858.

I love creating a bracelet honoring Our Lady of Lourdes. I also include a water medal and if I can find a unique medal with Our Blessed Mother of Lourdes in the grotto, I include it as well. I also create a one decade rosary bracelet which I also attach to the charm bracelet, that way is easy and practical to carry a rosary with you all the time.

I love the blue color crystals that enhanced this bracelet and the pearls.

Catholic Patron Saints and Angels Bracelet

THE EMPIRE OF THE ANGELS
As messangers of God and executors of His orders, the angels exercise a great empire over our souls and bodies and over the material world.
The special object of the angels' care is the human race which they are apponted to guard.
St. Rose of Lima, the first American blosson of sanctity, upon whom Holy Church, conferred public veneration, lived a life of great purity and innocence. From early childhood she was priviledged to hold familiar intercourse with the holy angels. From numerous difficulties and dangers she was delivered by hter holy angel and she once declared that her Guardian Angel did whatever she asked him to do.*
* St. Michael and the Angels, Compiled From Approved Sources Book by TAN

I created this bracelet with heavely blue and a large porcelain angel cameo surrounded by porcelain angels, handcrafted angels made with polymer flowers and crystals. I added patron saint medals to create that heavenly feel to it.

St. Joseph Relic and Holy Family Bracelet

Prayer to the Holy Family
Dear Lord, bless our family. Be so kind as to give us the unity, peace, and mutual love that You found in Your own family in the little town of Nazareth. Saint Joseph, bless the head of our family. Obtain for him the strength, the wisdom, and the prudence he needs to support and direct those under his care. Mother Mary, bless the mother of our family. Help her to be pure and kind, gentle and self-sacrificing. For the more she resembles you, the better will our family be. Lord Jesus, bless the children of our family. Help them to be obedient and devoted to their parents. Make them more and more like You. Let them grow, as You did, in wisdom and age and grace before God and man. Holy Family of Nazareth, make our family and home more and more like Yours, until we are all one family, happy and at peace in our true home with You. Amen.

I created this bracelet honoring St. Joseph and his important role as an earthly father for Our Lord Jesus Christ. Also honoring The Most Holy Family.

Amen.

To me the Sacred Heart of Jesus has been very special as well. Since I was a young woman, He has been by my side and comforting me on my times of trials. This is another bracelet I love creating to give Him honor.

Miraculous Medal Charm Bracelet

"The Blessed Virgin was standing on a globe, and her face was beautiful beyond words. Her fingers were covered with precious jewels whose light dazzled me. And I heard: 'Behold the symbol of the graces I shed upon those who ask for them!' Then an oval frame formed around the Blessed Virgin and I read in letters of gold: 'O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.' The vision reversed and I beheld the letter 'M' surmounted by a cross, at the foot of the cross, a bar, and below all, the Heart of Jesus crowned with thorns, and the Heart of Mary pierced with a sword. A voice said to me, 'Have a medal struck after this model. Persons who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck.' "Sister (now Saint) Catherine Labour".
THE RAYS BEING DISPERSED BY OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL CAME FROM THE GEMSTONES ON HER FINGERS

I love creating a bracelet to honor Our Blessed Mother of the Miraculous Medal. I always create it surrounded by gems or crystals, or like in this one by vintage pearls and crystals. I can see Our Blessed Mother surrounded with all gems, pearls and crystals like a Queen and to me these bracelets have a special meaning.

St. Philomena Relic Religious Bracelet

I love creating a St. Philomena bracelet. I always feel her energy so strong when creating it. It's like a lovely energenic girl loving all of nature and enjoying the Heavenly realm. That is why I create it with lots of flowers, birds, angels and other God's creatures.
