Love Creating Shrines

For the past few years I was inspired to create small shrines to give honor to all that is Divine, Our Lord, Blessed Mother, Angels and Saints and love creating them.

Recently I created some new designs, besides the locket shrines I created, I also created some that are visible, the pocket statues are inside a glass dome, which I also include a piece of broken rosaries inside.

 I love antique rosaries and when I am able to create a piece using broken rosaries, I create with the utmost respect and use them to give them a new life and they carry the love and prayers of the previous owners and that is why I love to add them to my creations

Here are my newest creations.  In one as I was taking a picture before finishing the necklace, the St. Therese Shrine, I noticed in the picture some sort of reflection on top of the glass and continued to take pictures but, what I thought it was reflections, appears to be some sort of mist, which is not the first time I create a piece honoring St. Therese that a mist appears.   Upon closer look at the picture and enhancing it, I was able to see some faces, some appear to be Saints, one in particular is Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, which I happen to have a piece of cloth touched to his relic and I also touch my jewelry to his relic.  I will include a picture on the bottom.

The first pictures are of the finished necklaces now available in my Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/angelostreasures






This last picture of the Shrine Dome of St. Therese before creating the necklace, where the mist appears in all of the images and next is a picture of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, which I believe appears in the mist, next to St. Therese's face of pocket statue.

Virgin Mary Miraculous Medal Pocket Watch Shrine Religious Necklace

I love creating these style of shrines with pocket watches because you are able to see inside and specially able to see the image of Our Blessed Mother.  Even though it's difficult to keep the glass due to the pewter statue inside, but without glass still as beautiful.

On this pocket watch shrine I added a beautiful pewter statue of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, Fresh Water Pearl Cross and vintage and new embellishments including pearls, flowers and rhinestones.

These creations are a conversation piece and I love that because you will start a conversation making honor to Our Blessed Mother.

Our Lady of Lourdes Cameo Locket Shrine Necklace



The Memorare of St. Bernard

Remember, O most gracious
Virgin Mary, that never was it
Known that any one who
Fled to thy protection, implored
Thy help, and sought thy
Intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of
Virgins, my Mother, to thee I
Come, before Thee I stand sinful
and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate!

Despise not my petitions, but, in Thy
mercy, hear and answer me
Amen

Our Lady of Lourdes Locket Shrine Rosary Religious Necklace

O Holy Virgin,  
in the midst of Your days of glory,  
do not forget the sorrows of this earth.  
Cast a merciful glance upon those who are suffering
 struggling against difficulties, 
 with their lips constantly pressed 
against life’s bitter cup.  
Have pity on those who love each other
 and are separated. 
Have pity on our rebellious hearts.
 Have pity on our weak faith. 
Have pity on those who weep, 
on those who pray, 
on those who fear.
 Grant hope and peace to all. 
 Amen.


I created this locket shrine necklace honoring Our Beautiful Lady of Lourdes using a vintage rosary and creating it as a necklace.
Inside locket I added a tiny figural image of Our Lady of Lourdes a vintage crucifix and a beautiful acrylic rose and a beautiful color image of St. Rose of Lima.

Today I had a wonderful experience with my 2 yr old granddaughter. I have a picture of Our Lady of Lourdes in my room and my granddaughter loved it and wanted me to take her to Wal-Mart to buy her one, she thinks Wal-Mart may sell them and I explained to her they don't have them there, she then told me to take her to Target to find one, that just filled me with so much joy that she expressed so much love for Our Lady of Lourdes.

Our Lady of Lourdes Cameo Locket Shrine Catholic Necklace

O Immaculate Virgin Mary, 
 Mother of Mercy, 
You are the refuge of sinners, 
 the health of the sick,  
and the comfort of the afflicted. 
 You know my wants, 
 my troubles, my sufferings.  
By Your appearance 
at the Grotto of Lourdes 
 You made it a privileged sanctuary  
where Your favors are given to people 
 streaming to it from the whole world.  
Over the years countless sufferers 
 have obtained the cure for their infirmities - 
 whether of soul, mind, or body.  
Therefore I come to You  
with limitless confidence 
 to implore Your motherly intercession. 
 Obtain, O loving Mother, 
 the grant of my requests.  
Through gratitude for Your favors, 
 I will endeavor to imitate Your virtues, 
 that I may one day share in Your glory. 
  Amen.

so prompt before the throne of God,

and Jesus asleep in your arm;
I dare not approach while he resposes near your heart.
