"EMBRACE" Virgin Mary Cameo Religious Medal Bracelet

The Depths of the Love of Your Heart Virgin full of grace, I know that at Nazareth You lived modestly, without requesting anything more. Neither ecstasies, nor miracles, nor other extra ordinary deeds enhanced Your life, O Queen of the elect. The number of the lowly, "the little ones," is very great on earth. They can raise their eyes to You without any fear. You are the incomparable Mother who walks with them along the common way to guide them to heaven. Beloved Mother, in this harsh exile, I want to live always with You and follow You every day. I am enraptured by the contemplation of You and I discover the depths of the love of Your heart. All my fears vanish under Your motherly gaze, which teaches me to weep and to rejoice! Amen. St. Therese De Lisieux


"EMBRACE"

Have you ever looked at a picture of Our Blessed Mother and felt Her embrace?

That's what I want to capture with this bracelet, I felt that embrace as She is embracing Our Lord Baby Jesus with Her protection loving care.

I wanted to also capture the bracelet to appear as a crown of flowers for Our Blessed Mother.

I used a beautiful resin cameo of Madonna of The Streets set in goldtone setting.

Other Catholic medals I used are Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of the Well, St. Padre Pio, St. Anthony with St. Francis of Assisi. St. Dominic with Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and St. Thomas Aquinas

I surrounded the cameo and medals with beautiful pearls and vintage flowers and lucite leaves to make the cameo stand out.
