Catholic Virgin Mary OL Fatima , Saints Religious Medals Charm Bracelet


 Dear Lady of Fatima,
We come on bended knee,
To beg Your intercession,
For peace and unity.

Dear Mary, won't You show us,
The right and shining way,
We pledge our love and offer You,
A Rosary each day.

You promised at Fatima,
Each time that You appeared,
To help us if we pray to You,
To banish war and fear.

Dear Lady, on First Saturdays,
We ask Your guiding hand,
For grace and guidance here on earth,
And protection for our land.

In honor of Our Lady of Fatima I created this bracelet using a stunning cameo of Our Lady of Fatima adorned with pink Czech. rhinestones fit for a Queen.

I wanted this cameo to be the main emphasis, therefore, I didn't add any other colors except pink and white to make the cameo stand out even more.

I also added a medal of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal from Germany, a St. Philomena medal and an Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Heart of Jesus medal from Mexico, St. Therese, St. Anthony, St. Lazarus, St. Dominic with Queen of Most Holy Rosary, St Cecilia, Our Lady of Providence and St. Dymphna.

Catholic Virgin Mary OL Lourdes Cameo, Saints Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

 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"



This bracelet came as inspiration after having a dream days before that I found myself in a cave, which is not the first time I have dreams of caves and Our Blessed Mother is there.  In one instance She was surrounded by Rosaries and other time surrounded by clear crystals and this time the She was surrounded by what appeared to be moonstone the stones had a beautiful cloudy finish but shiny.  She was standing with Her hands folded in prayer and when She opened them, gold was emanating from Her chest, it looked like real liquid gold on Her, She was just so beautiful and when I tried to look at Her, I could not help to bow down in reverence and also Her presence is so Glorious that are times I feel so humbled that She would come to me in my dreams.  I felt so much love and tenderness and Her smile was so inviting that I wish I could have spent more time in Her presence.  

This is an antique style cuff bracelet using a stunning cameo of Our Lady of Lourdes surrounded by Czech. rhinestones and set on vintage lace and adorned with vintage and new embellishments including rhinestones.

Medals used are brass and copper of St. Benedict, Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Miraculous Medal

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.

Handcrafted Virgin Mary Cameo Religious Necklace


I love making honor to Our Blessed Mother Mary creating these style of necklaces to make a bold statement of our faith.

What I've heard from past customers that when they wear a necklace like this one, it is an eye catcher and people start a conversation or express their faith or devotion to Our Blessed Mother and that is always great to hear, bring Her to our conversation.

On this one I wanted to add mainly pearls but I also added some vintage rhinestones and stunning flower beads.

St. Anthony Religious Charm Bracelet


ST. ANTHONY

He is known as Miracle Worker; Doctor of the Church; He is especially invoked for the recovery of things lost; as well as against starvation,; patron of amputees, animals, domestic animals, the elderly, expectant mothers, faith in the Blessed Sacrament, fishermen, harvests, horses, lower animals, mail, mariners, oppressed persons sailors, scholars, sterility, travelers

Prayer to Saint Anthony the Wonder-Worker

Saint Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find {mention your petition} which has been lost. As least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss. To this favor I ask another of you: that I may always remain in possession of the true good that is God.Let me rather lose all things than lose God, my supreme good. Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, eternal life with God. Amen.

St. Anthony is one of my favorite Saints, I can't count the times He has interceded for me or my family to help find anything lost.

Just today my son had lost his wallet, he had just come from the store and he was afraid someone had taken it because we looked in the car twice, even on the side panels of the car and nothing. I prayed to St. Anthony to please help my son find his wallet and shortly after that my son decided to go check again the car and there was the wallet on the side of the car, which three of us had gone to the car before and it wasn't there.

I can't thank him enough for all the favours he has given us.
Thank you St. Anthony

I created this bracelet in a very unique color combination, for some reason these colors are the ones that came together for this bracelet.




I also used a very unique pewter medal depicting St. Anthony with Baby Jesus which I attached to a natural Jasper bead and adorned with pink rhinestones.
