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

Shabby Chic, Victorian and Baroque Creations

I have always been fascinated by these styles, Shabby Chic, Victorian and Baroque and decided I should start creating more of these styles and began using more lace and flowers and other elements to create such pieces that I love.

These are few of them, some have been sold and some shipped to Germany which I love the fact that these pieces are being loved.

All honoring Our Blessed Mother, Jesus and Angels

Some are available in my store www.angelostreasures.com

Blessings from Above

 

For a long time I have been fascinated by one of God’s creations which are gemstones and I know they Bring His and Our Blessed Mother’s Love and Light within each one of them for humanity to use as a tool for our well being and when I read about St. Hildegard’s visions and how intensively she wrote on God’s purpose for us to use such gemstones, I was more interested in using them for one of the purposes God intended use for such Beautiful creation but I didn’t continue with my search until It came to me in form of a dream several years ago, that I was guided to start creating pieces with such gemstones and a special way to use them and when I was shown the gemstones and the metal and I was told that they absorb negative energy and transform it Into positive energy but specific elements and also to read Psalm 142 when I saw all the gemstones and a clear plastic and metal then Our Lady of Miraculous Medal appeared on the center of all the gemstones and they all in unity were sending pure glowing white light and appeared to me as a pure Blessing and I know they can emanate God’s and Our Blessed Mother’s essence. The next day I was so excited and so much at peace and felt Our Blessed Mother’s Love that I wanted to create one and I tried creating it, but it wasn’t quite getting the plastic part, then a couple of weeks later as I was searching for another St. Michael prayer I came across information talking about the orgonite, orgone energy, which I call Alpha energy and I was just blown away that was my dream about the energy stones emanate and after much practice I began creating some pieces and sharing with others in my family and all with great results, everything positive, people do notice the change they have been making in their life, more at peace and other changes that seems to harmonize their environment . These changes maybe subtle but positive. These are not talismans or such, these are pieces With one of God’s creations to be used as a beneficial tool in our life in prayer and expressing more Love towards others and our planet. Have very broad beneficial effects that affect almost everything that exists: living things, materials and areas of energy or spirituality from transmuting negative energy to positive I have experienced that they also act as a protective screen for the electromagnetic pollution of our days; generated by multiple electrical appliances such as: microwave, tv, refrigerators, mobile phones, wireless devices, satellite, wifi, wireless, networking etc. I personally don't get the headaches I used to get when using electronics. Often induces a restoring sleep when placed next to you at night or under your pillow, in some cases can stop nightmares, especially in children I had offered them before in my store but stopped creating them until recently. I created several pieces that now I am offering in my store, I also added mica powder to create them in a unique color combination, in some you won't see the gemstones nor metals, but they are in there. Each one created with the elements needed to create the orgone energy with specific gemstones. This information is not to replace any medical treatment, but it can be an addition to a physical and spiritual healing. Now available at www.angelostreasures.com Angelo's Treasures

Holy Child of Atocha Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

History of El Santo Nino de Atocha (The Holy Child of Atocha)

The devotion to El Santo Nino de Atocha originated in Spain. Its origin may be related to Our Lady of Atocha, in Madrid, Spain, who is mentioned in the "Cantigas" of King Alphonse the Wise in the 13th century. During medieval times, the Moors held large areas and battles between the Christians and Moors were commonplace. The Moors invaded the town of Atocha. Following a certain battle, the victorious Moors held a great many Christians captive, and prevented the adult villagers from visiting as well as bringing the prisoners food or water. Fearing for the lives of the prisoners, their families stormed heaven with prayers for relief. One day, a child appeared, dressed as a pilgrim of that period, carrying a basket of food and a gourd of water. The Moors allowed the child to bring food and water each day. The prisoners were fed, but the basket and gourd remained full. The child was not known to the Christians nor to the Moors, so the people concluded that the child Jesus.

In artwork, the Holy Child often wears a brimmed hat with a plume and a cloak or cape ornate with the St. James shell. (During the Crusades, scallop shells were the symbol of holy pilgrimages and one European variety is still referred to as "the pilgrim" or "St. James' shell." Poets have written about their beauty and artists have admired their symmetry and grace.) In his left hand, He carries a pilgrim's staff to the gourd of water is fastened, a pair of shackles, and a few spears of wheat. In his right hand, He holds a basket which generally contains bread or flowers. He either wears sandals or is barefoot. The Child is said to roam the hills and valleys, particularly at night, bringing aid and comfort to the needy, and thereby wearing out his shoes. He is usually shown seated.

The original statue of the Holy Child of Atocha was imported from Spain and now resides in the little town of Fresnillo, Mexico. El Santo Nino de Atocha is the patron saint of those unjustly imprisoned. He also protects travelers and rescues people in danger.

I just love this medal with the image of The Holy Child of Atocha, is so beautiful and unique.  It just brings me comfort.

This bracelet makes honor to the Holy Child of Atocha using other Catholic medals as well including Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Therese, Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos, Archanagel St. Gabriel, Our Lady of Sorrows, St. Benedict, St. Michael and St. Anthony.

I used beautiful handcrafted Peruvian beads and handcrafted as well vintage black clay bird beads making it very unique.

"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.

I wanted to try something different besides bracelets and necklaces and I really loved the outcome of these pieces
