"Majestic" Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus Catholic Cameo Religious Necklace

I called this beautiful necklace "Majestic" making honor to Our Blessed Mother and Baby Jesus giving splendor to Their Majesty

This beautiful cameo embellished with many vintage and new rhinestones, pearls and other embellishments like a vintage flower pendant. 

Daily, daily sing to Mary, sing my soul Her praises due;

All Her feasts, Her actions worship, with the heart's devotion true.

Lost in wondering contemplation, be Her majesty confessed.

Call Her Mother, call Her Virgin, happy Mother, Virgin blest!

She is mighty to deliver; call Her, trust Her lovingly;

When the tempest rages round thee, She will calm the troubled sea.

Gifts of Heaven She has given, noble Lady! to our race;

She, the Queen, who decks Her subjects with the light of God's own grace.

Sing my tongue, the Virgin's trophies, who for us our Maker bore;

For the curse of old inflicted, peace and blessing to restore.

Sing in songs of praise unending, Sing the world's Majestic Queen!

Weary not, nor faint in telling all the gifts She gives to men.

All our joys do fall from Mary; all then join Her praise to sing:

Trembling sing the Virgin Mother, Mother of Our Lord and King.

While we sing Her awesome glory, far above our fancy's reach,

Let our hearts be quick to offer love alone the heart can teach.

Infant of Prague Watch Shrine Religious Necklace

History

The exact origin of the Infant Jesus statue was not truly known, but historical sources point to a small 28cm high sculpture of the Holy Child with a bird in his right hand carved in around the year 1340. Many other Infant Jesus sculptures were also carved by famous masters throughout Europe in the Middle Ages.

The popularity of the Child Jesus grew in the Baroque period in Spain which may have been caused by the visions of St. Teresa of Avila. A number of sculptures made in Spain eventually found their way to Prague. These sculptures were made of wax, ivory, and bronze and were dressed in garments reflecting the aristocratic fashion of that period.

It is unknown to this date which of those early sculptures that got to Prague was the exact origin of the Infant Jesus of Prague. It was speculated that it came from a monastery in Bohemia and from there it was obtained by Dona Isabella Manrique who gave it as a wedding gift to her daughter Marie Manrique who married a noble of the Czech kingdom. Later, the Holy Infant statue was again given to Marie's daughter Polyxena as a wedding gift in 1587. In 1628, Lady Polyxena presented the statue to the Carmelites at the Church of the Virgin Mary the Victorious in Mala Strana saying, "I am giving you what I most esteem of my possessions. Keep the sculpture in reference and you will be well off". This statue then became known as the Infant Jesus of Prague. It stands 47 cm high (includes a 2cm base) and has a long gown around the wax body.

Shortly after 1628, the Saxons and the Swedes took turns to invade Prague and the Carmelites had to flee and the veneration of the Holy Infant ceased. It was not until 1638 that a young priest named Fr. P. Cyril, a Matre Dei, returned to Prague and found the Holy Infant statue buried in the ruins of the Lady of Victory church. Fr. Cyril cleaned the statue and placed it in the oratory for worship. While he was praying before the Infant Jesus, he heard the Infant Jesus say, "Have pity on Me and I will have pity on you. Give Me My hands and I will give you peace. The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you".

The repairing of the statue's hand was a miracle since Fr. Cyril and his peers did not have the financial resources nor the know-how to repair it. Through prayer, Fr. Cyril asked the Blessed Virgin Mary in several occasions to to provide the necessary funds for fixing the Infant statue. The Divine Infant spoke to him again, "Place Me near the entrance of the sacristy and you will receive aid". Fr. Cyril then did what he was told and in a few days time, the statue was fixed by a man who came to the sacristy to offer help.

Since the statue was fixed, a number of miracles had occurred and the word began to spread, resulting in a large increase of veneration to the Holy Child. This includes the Czech nobles as well. These early miracles were recorded in a book by P. Emerich a St Stephano, published in German in 1736 and in Czech in 1749 .

In 1641, an altar was built for the Infant Jesus in the church, and in 1644 a chapel was built, but was not completed until 1654. Many nobles of the time had greatly supported the Infant Jesus, among them were Lady Polyxena, King Ferdinard (Czech), King Charles Gustav(Sweden), and Bernard Ignatius of the Lords of Martinic. It is interesting to note that the crown over the Divine Infant's head came from Bernard Ignatius, who presented the Infant statue with a little gold crown set with precious stones and jewels on January 14, 1651 during a procession that carried the Infant Jesus statue from the Lady of Victory church to other Prague churches. The Infant Jesus was solemnly coronated on April 4, 1655 by the Archbishop Josef Corta acting for Cardinal Harrach III who was sick.

After that period, Prague went through more wars and unrest but the church and the Infant Jesus chapel was miraculously protected. In 1776 the altar was rebuilt using marble and two huge sculptures of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph were placed to the left and right sides of the altar. The Holy Infant was kept in a glass case standing on a pedestal engraved with crystals, and surrounding the Infant were twenty angels in gold.

These are one of my favorite necklaces to make because you can see inside the locket watch pendant and it makes it more special

I made this necklace honoring Our Child Jesus Infant of Prague. I used a vintage pocket statue with beautiful design, a vintage medal of Child Jesus and a tiny cross adorned with rhinestones and vintage pearls

Virgin Mary Cameo Locket Shrine Religious Necklace

It is very fulfilling for me to finish a piece of jewelry in honor of Our Blessed Mother and all the Divine, but these special necklaces are beyond words for me.

To this piece I added vintage jewelry pieces, many vintage and new pearls and some beautiful rhinestones making it a hefty piece.

Inside locket shrine I added a beautiful color image of Infant of Prague a tiny pocket statue of St. Christopher and tiny Virgin Mary medal with vintage rhinestones

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. Joseph Cameo, Relic Saints Religious Medal Bracelet

Oh, St Joseph, I never weary contemplating you,

and Jesus asleep in your arm;

I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart.

and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.

St Joseph, patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

St. Joseph was an extraordinary man of God that he is the role model for all fathers that obeying God's word he became a very important part of Our Lord's life as a father on earth to Our Lord. What a blessing to have been part of Our Lord's life as was St. Joseph.

I created this bracelet honoring St. Joseph adding a beautiful vintage cameo and using antique-style beads and Jade cross and many Catholic medals to make it bold and beautiful.

Vintage and New St. Padre Pio Religious Necklace

"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 clearly that all my life and all my heart is vowed to Him and to His sufferings" -Padre Pio

I had the most unique experience creating this special necklace with St. Padre Pio.

I had his pewter statue for a while and I just could not come up with anything that I could use it on and I added it to a silvertone filigree stamping, but nothing was coming to my mind as to what else to add and I just set it aside.

About a week ago this special Lady "Sunny" sent me anther box full of beautiful surprises to continue making my jewelry and in that box was this old Jerusalem rosary with Terra Sancta center but it was broken and some Hail Mary beads missing. I set it aside on my beading table waiting to see how I could repair it.

Today when I went to my bead room to start creating, the rosary was right up front on my table, like it was moved and I set it aside, and later again, it was in front and St. Padre Pio's statue was almost peeking from where I had placed it and I just could not keep my eyes away from his statue and all of the sudden I get this surge of energy and I just grabbed the statue and the rosary together and it was just like nothing could stop me creating it. I began and didn't stop until I finished and everything just fell into place on his statue, adding all the rhinestones and I loved how it just came together, like St. Padre Pio wanted to be added to this special Rosary.

St. Theresa The Little Flower of Jesus Photo Frame / Pendant / Plaque

When someone is in the hospital or nursing home you may want to consider adding a Holy picture as a reminder of our faith and with this pendant may be a reminder that with prayer St. Therese will be intervening for you or love one.

I created this pendant with a black and white laser picture of St. Therese inserted between two glass panels and copper frame

I added beautiful vintage lace and adorned it with flower ribbon and lace flower on front.
