My Newest Creations, Catholic Handmade Pendant Necklaces

 I have been inspired lately to create a simpler necklace that also makes honor to Our Blessed Mother, Jesus, Angels and Saints and have created several pieces that I have used vintage and new laces and flowers.

Each one unique and with it's own inspiration. 

Here are a few that I have listed in my Etsy shop www.angelostreasures.com

Handmade Earrings

St. Therese Relic, Saints Medals Religious Bracelet

Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing, St. Therese

St. Therese has given me more love for doing what I do in life, to learn to appreciate the smallest things in life and also that we are God's hands, God's feet, God's eyes in this earth, like she stated in one of her prayers and when I get tired and weary, I often think of one of her quotes specially being those hands, feet and eyes for God that motivates me.

I wanted to convey that love in this bracelet featuring a beautiful unique figural medal of St. Therese

I added a stunning vintage amethyst color pendant that was a vintage earring that I converted. I just love vintage jewelry, it has so much appeal.

Virgin Mary OL Guadalupe, Saints Religious Bracelet

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.

Today I was inspired to create another bracelet for Our Humble Lady of Guadalupe. I used red roses as The Rose being representative of Mary

The rose is regarded as the "queen of flowers", and often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. Also an almost universal symbol of perfect love, its color, perfection of form, and fragrance, as well as its thorns signifies Mary's role in salvation history as the Mother of God the Savior who was crowned with thorns and shed His blood on the Cross for love of mankind. The rose, arising from a thorny bush, also signifies Mary, the Mystical Rose, "our fallen Nature's solitary boast", who alone of the human race was conceived without sin. It also may contain a parallel with the fiery thorn bush from which God spoke to Moses: Mary, immaculately conceived, was the means through which God became Man, The Word made flesh.)

I used red coral beads, natural jade gemstones and turquoise howlite beads. Catholic medals include Jesus as "The Good Shepherd", St. Michael, St. Jude, St. Dominic with Queen of Most Holy Rosary, St. Michael, St. Theresa and St. John of God.

I love this combination of stones for Our Lady of Guadalupe, it just brings back memories of a dream I had where She appeared wearing those colors and immediately I knew it was Our Lady of Guadalupe, but with different mantle with those colors and told me "I'm the same and don't tell anyone that I'm here and I look different, I want them to feel I'm here"

That is why I just love these colors.

Our Lady of Fatima, Saints Religious Medals Bracelet

O Most Holy Virgin Mary,
Queen of the most holy Rosary,
you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima
and reveal a glorious message.
We implore you,
inspire in our hearts a fervent love
for the recitation of the Rosary.
By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption
that are recalled therein
may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask,
through the merits of Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Redeemer.

I was inspired to create this bracelet in honor of Our Lady of Fatima all in white with clear aurora borealis crystals to represent Her purity.

I used a stunning white pearls with rhinestones center piece, handcrafted angels made with vintage lucite flowers and Czech. glass beads, glass pearls and beautiful natural moonstone gemstone beads.

Catholic medals include, Relic medal, Our Lady of Lourdes with St. Bernadette, St. Agnes with St. Cecilia, Our Lady of Montzerrat and Annunciation medal.

Virgin Mary Altered Art Religious Medals Necklace

This is a very unique altered art necklace I was inspired to create with an older watch face, southwest style.

I used three vintage medals attached to the watch, which are Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, St. Ann and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel with Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Necklace made with coral and stabilized turquoise.

Inside of watch face I added a beautiful image of Our Blessed Mother adorned with faux pearls and porcelain rose

St. Frances Cabrini Relic Religious Necklace

Filled with a deep trust in God and endowed with a wonderful administrative ability, this remarkable woman soon founded schools, hospitals, and orphanages in this strange land and saw them flourish in the aid of Italian immigrants and children. At the time of her death, at Chicago, Illinois on December 22, 1917, her institute numbered houses in England, France, Spain, the United States, and South America. In 1946, she became the first American citizen to be canonized when she was elevated to sainthood by Pope Pius XII. St. Frances is the patroness of immigrants.

Novena to obtain favors through the intercession of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini

Almighty and Eternal Father, Giver of all Gifts, show us Your mercy, and grant, we beseech You, through the merits of Your faithful Servant, Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, that all who invoke her intercession may obtain what they desire according to the good pleasure of Your Holy Will ... (here name your request).
O Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, mindful of Your bountiful goodness and love, deign, we implore You, through the tender devotion of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini for Your Sacred Heart, to hear our prayers and grant our petitions.
O God, the Holy Spirit, Comforter of the afflicted, Fountain of Light and Truth, through the ardent zeal of Your humble handmaid, Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, grant us Your all-powerful aid in our necessities, sanctify our souls and fill our minds with Divine Light that we may see the Holy Will of God in all things.
Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, beloved spouse of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, intercede for us that the favor we now ask may be granted.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory, (Three Times)

I created this necklace with a very unique vintage relic medal of St. Frances Cabrini. I also added a vintage piece of a broken bracelet depicting Stations of the Cross on reverse of roses, vintage glass pearls and crystals.

I wanted to make it simple, unique but at the same time meaningful and bold.


This is the reverse of relic medal

Our Lady of Guadalupe and Vintage Coins Bracelet

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.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

O Virgin of Guadalupe,
Mother of the Americas,
grant to our homes the grace of loving
and respecting life in its beginnings,
with the same love with which
you conceived in your womb
the life of the Son of God.
Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of Fair Love,
protect our families so that
they may always be united
and bless the upbringing of our children.

Our hope, look upon us with pity,
teach is to go continually to Jesus,
and if we fall
help us to rise again and return to Him
through the confession of our faults
and our sins in the Sacrament of penance,
which gives peace to the soul.
We beg you to grant us a great love
of all the holy Sacraments,
which are, as it were,
the signs that your Son left us on earth.
Thus, Most Holy Mother,
with the peace of God in our consciences,
with our hearts free from evil and hatred,
we will be able to bring to all others
true joy and peace,
which come to us from your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Amen.
(Pope John Paul II.)


I love creating a bracelet to honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I love using roses as well as the roses represent Our Blessed Mother

THE ROSE BEING REPRESENTATIVE OF MARY The rose is regarded as the "queen of flowers", and often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. Also an almost universal symbol of perfect love, its color, perfection of form, and fragrance, as well as its thorns signifies Mary's role in salvation history as the Mother of God the Savior who was crowned with thorns and shed His blood on the Cross for love of mankind. The rose, arising from a thorny bush, also signifies Mary, the Mystical Rose, "our fallen Nature's solitary boast", who alone of the human race was conceived without sin. It also may contain a parallel with the fiery thorn bush from which God spoke to Moses: Mary, immaculately conceived, was the means through which God became Man, The Word made flesh.)

On this bracelet I used stabilized turquoise and vintage Mexican coins besides the Catholic medals. For a final touch I used a vintage alpaca charm

Virgin Mary Our Lady of Sorrows Cameo Bracelet

I compassionate thee,O most sorrowful Mother!Thy heart was pierced with a sword of grief when Simeon foretold to thee in the Temple the ignominious death and the desolation of thy Divine and most dear Son,which thou west destined one day to witness.By the great anguish of thy suffering heart,O gracious Queen of the universe,impress upon my mind,in life and in death,the sacred Passion of Jesus and shine own sorrows. Amen.

Several years ago I had a vision of seeing Our Lady's Tears falling and would see Her teardrops and I was inspired to create a rosary with teardrop shape beads, but when I began making these inspirational bracelets and found this cameo, I then was inspired to continue creating a bracelet reflecting in Her tears shed.

I wanted to create this bracelet as a reflection of Her pain and sorrow.

That is the reason I used mother of pearl teardrop-shape beads to represent Her tears. I also added a one decade rosary to this bracelets.

Besides the beautiful vintage cameo, I added other Catholic medals: Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Therese, Our Lady of Fatima, Infant of Prague and others.

"QUEEN OF HEAVEN, QUEEN OF PEACE, QUEEN OF ANGELS"

"QUEEN OF HEAVEN, QUEEN OF PEACE, QUEEN OF ANGELS"
August Queen of Heaven,
sovereign Queen of Angels,
you who at the beginning
received from God
the power and the mission to crush the head of satan,
we beseech you humbly,
send your Holy legions so that,
on your orders and by your power,
they will track down demons,
fight them everywhere,
curb their audacity and plunge them into the abyss.

Who can be compared to God?
Oh good and tender Mother,
you will always be our love and our hope.

Oh Divine Mother,
send the Holy Angels and Archangels to defend me
and to keep the cruel enemy far from me.

Holy Angels and Archangels defend us,
protect us.

Amen.

St. Alphonsus Liguori is often quoted as saying that "Devotion to St. Michael and the holy angels is a mark of predestination." This reason alone were certainly sufficient to induce us not to neglect their veneration. On the contrary, we should earnestly strive to cultivate their friendship, in which we ashall indeed be blessed, for no earthly friends can compare with them in goodness, in power and in love." Jesus is the head of the Angels

I was inspired to create a bracelet in honor of Our Blessed Mother "Queen of Angels" with a beautiful handcrafted porcelain cameo and surrounding it with metal and handcrafted angels. I added a white rhinestone crown to represent Her crown.

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.

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
St. Francis of Assisi

I created this unique necklace in honor of St. Francis and one of God's creations. I created with very unique and vintage and new animal charms and broaches. Including a very unique large leopard with moving parts.
