Virgin Mary Locket Shrine Religious Necklace


Vintage and nostalgic jewelry are my favorites. I just love the feel and look of said jewelry and when I feel that special nostalgic feeling I am inspired to create a piece with that essence and look to it.

On this necklace I used a beautiful print on fabric of an antique Holy Card surrounded by a
vintage frame with pearls and adding a special spiritual enhancement, I added a unique
vintage brass cherub to the frame of the picture.
Inside locket you will find special sacred treasures as it is a tiny vintage hand painted pocket
statue of Sacred Heart of Jesus, tiny medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe a vintage rhinestone, glass heart and a beautiful picture of St. Therese in fabric

Locket Shrine Necklaces





When I began creating these necklaces, I was not sure what to make with the lockets and loved the cameos but one day I woke up with the inspiration to create a small shrine for Our Lord, Blessed Mother and Beloved Saints and I kept finding those wonderful pocket statues that I use and I have been blessed that they are liked by many.

I created two more today to list on my Etsy shop. I always love making one with Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal and St. Anthony, he has been so good to me in many ways, always ready to help me, thank you St. Anthony.

Inside I added a very unique vintage pewter pocket statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a color image of Blessed Pope John Paul II
I also created another honoring Our Beautiful Blessed Mother and Baby Jesus. I used a vintage cameo and inside locket made honor to Our Lady of Miraculous Medal
The pocket statue of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal is a vintage hand painted statue surrounded by vintage rhinestones

These are listed in my Etsy shop

St. Joseph Cameo Religious Locket Shrine Necklace

Oh, St Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong,
so prompt before the throne of God,
I place in you all my interest and desires.
Oh, St Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession,
and obtain for me from your divine Son
all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, out Lord.
So that, having engages here below your heavenly power,
I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St Joseph, I never weary contemplating you,
and Jesus asleep in your arm;
I dare not approach while he resposes near your heart.
Press Him in my name and kiss His find head for me
and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St Joseph, patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

St. Joseph is also patron of the universal Church, fathers, carpenters, and social justice.


A 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.

What a privilege must be for St. Joseph to take the role of Our Lord Jesus Christ and raise Him as His own

With this necklace I wanted to make honor to St. Joseph as the role of father to Our Lord and just love this vintage cameo depicting him with Child Jesus

I wanted to make it to look and feel like an older antique piece using antiqued trade beads

Our Lady of Rosary Locket Religious Necklace

OUR LADY

We turn in all our needs to Christ's Blessed Mother, Mary, because we know that Our Lord, as Her obedient and loving Son, can refuse Her nothing. Hence, we turn with confidence to Our Blessed Lady as "comforter of the afflicted," "the help of Christians," "health of the sick," and "Virgin most powerful."

Our Virgin Mother still stands by us as She stood faithfully by the foot of the Cross, and as She remained praying with His apostles and disciples. So, too, will She be close to us when we turn to Her in our necessities.




This is another style of locket necklace I created using a beautiful vintage rosary inside locket.

I added a stunning porcelain cameo of Our Lady of the Rosary adorned with Czech. rhinestones.

Locket is the perfect size to carry this small rosary.

I love vintage rosaries because there is a certain warmth and great feeling about them due to the devotion and prayers used for from the previous owners.

Virgin Mary Cameo Locket Shrine Religious Necklace

This is another of my bold necklaces to make a statement of faith and to honor our Most Blessed Mother, also in a bold way.

I just love creating these necklaces, it just transports me to a place of peace and love when I'm creating one, and everything just falls in place.

Even though, it does take time to complete, every time, is a different experience but with the same love and peace, like I'm being guided on what to add and where everything has it's own place to belong.


Inside locket I added a small shrine to Our Beautiful Humble Lady of Guadalupe, St. Joseph and Sacred Heart, all the back adorned with lace

Inspired

I have been inspired lately to create earrings not as a fashion statement but also as a statement of our faith.

Many woman cannot wear bracelets due to their job nor wear necklaces and the only item of jewelry they wear are earrings and still want to carry a reminder of Our Lord's and Blessed Mothers grace and love.

That is why I created these earrings after much taught if I should or not, but the inspiration kept coming to me.

These are just a few of my creations. I have more in my store

It's Me

Victorian Angels Cameo Religious Charm Bracelet


This is an Angelic Victorian-Style Charm bracelet created with:

Everyone of us are assigned if not one, many angels to help us and guide us in life. God wanted us to have them in our life.

Animals too have angels and my personal experience with an Archangel Jordi, he is the Archangel of animals and knows that animals, like birds are constantly singing the praises of God

That is the reason on this bracelet I added butterfly and bird charms, as a reminder of how we too must sing the praises of God and as the butterflies always enjoying the beauty of God's creations and a reminder of those angelic beings always around us to help and protect.


I created this bracelet with beautiful 3D resin cameos with angels. I also added beautiful handcrafted angels made with hand painted Shabby wood beads, Czech. Glass, Pearls and Metal wings and halos.

I also added a couple of glass butterflies and metal bird and butterflies charms.

Virgin Mary Cameo Rosary Style Catholic Necklace

May we be assisted,

we beseech Thee, O Lord,

by the worshipful intercession

of Thy glorious Mother,

the ever-Virgin Mary;

that we,

who have been enriched by Her perpetual blessings,

may be delivered from all dangers,

and through Her loving kindness

made to be of one heart and mind:

Who livest and reignest world without end.

Amen.

"FLOWERS FOR 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.)


I just love this cameo with an antique style and look to it. It's made of pine resin with an antique finish.

I decorated it with a vintage goldplated rose bracelet that I placed around the cameo.

This necklace is made with vintage chain. I also added a one decade rosary created with natural garnet beads, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal center and beautiful ornate crucifix.

To the center rosary in necklace I created it with vintage pearls and an Immaculate Heart of Mary center and a large natural Tourmaline gemstone bead holding cameo.

I also added a beautiful brass medal of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal.

I added flowers as "Flowers to Our Blessed Mother"

Virgin Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Locket Shrine Necklace




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.
I created this necklace in honor of Our Blessed Mother as "Queen of Angels" and shrine to Our Beautiful Lady of Miraculous Medal and Infant of Prague, using a beautiful porcelain cameo of Virgin Mary being crowned by two angels and surrounded by rhinestones.
I also added a beautiful rhinestone cross, a stunning large goldtone angel with mandolin and other misc. angels all in vintage chain.
Shrine is inside locket

On this locket shrine I used a beautiful figural image of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal set in vintage lace and adding a heart and rhinestones. On other side of cameo I added a beautiful color picture of Infant of Prague
