Catholic St Therese Religious Medals Handcrafted Cuff Lace Bracelet

“I know of one means only by which to attain to perfection: LOVE. Let us love, since our heart is made for nothing else.” Saint Therese 

I was inspired once again to create a nostalgic cuff bracelet honoring St. Therese using beautiful vintage lace.

I used a stunning brown ribbon to wrap the cuff then added this beautiful vintage lace with pearls adding a unique pewter statue of St. Therese and a piece of a broken Vintage Rosary.  Adding as well a vintage sliding rose medal with Our Lady of Guadalupe and other Italian medals of Sacred Heart, Divine Mercy and St. Michael.

Embellishments include a satin flower, Fresh Water Pearls and vintage rhinestones 

Sacred Heart and Rosary Catholic Bracelet

Glory to You, 

O Lord our God,

Your love calls us to be Your people.

By sharing our many and diverse gifts 

we share in Your mission. 

We ask You, Lord, 

to shape us into a community of faith. 

Nourish us by Your word and sacraments 

that we may grow into the image of Jesus. 

Through the power of Your Holy Spirit, 

heal us that we, in turn,

may heal the wounded. 

Form us to be instruments of love, 

justice, and peace in our land, 

and send us to proclaim Your saving work. 

Renew us, Lord, 

that we may renew the face of the earth. 

Amen

October being the month of the Rosary, I created this unique bracelet including a one decade rosary ring on center holding a vintage medal of Our Precious Sacred Heart of Jesus.  I used several Catholic medals including, St. Jude, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Archangel St. Raphael, Our Lady of Sorrows, St. Peregrine, Holy Child of Atocha, St Dominic, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and others.

I used mainly vintage charms including a couple of sterling pieces

PRAYER TO THE CHILD JESUS

Remember, oh sweetest Child Jesus, that You said to the Venerable Margaret of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and through her, to all Your devotees, these so consoling words for our poor overwhelmed and suffering mankind: "Everything that You want to request, ask for it through the merits of my infancy and nothing will be denied to you". Full of trust in You, oh Jesus! Who are truth itself, I come to present my necessities.

Help me lead an authentic Christian life, to obtain a happy eternity. By the infinite merits of your incarnation and your childhood, grant me the grace that I am requesting of You (here state the requested grace). I commit myself to You, oh Omnipotent Child, confident that You will heed my plea and will fortify me in hope.

Amen.

This is a unique necklace I created using a vintage broken rosary, vintage pendant and an image of Child Jesus from an antique Holy Card from Holy Card Heaven inside a pocket watch and used vintage and new rhinestones.

I am fascinated with vintage images and have been inspired by creations using such beautiful images that I found myself making one with this beautiful image.

Vintage and New St. Therese Medal Religious Charm Bracelet

"Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be - and becoming that person."

St. Therese de Lisieux

This is another inspired creation honoring humble St. Therese.

On this bracelet I used part of a vintage necklace that I converted into a bracelet with pearls and crystals. I also used a beautiful color medal of St. Therese and using a stunning vintage medal of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal and a stunning as well, rhinestone cross.

Other Catholic medals I use are Divine Mercy, St. Benedict, St. Sebastian, Archangel St. Gabriel, Our Lady of Lourdes, Archangel St. Raphael with Guardian Angel, St. Dominic and others.

Milagros Bracelet

MILAGROS
Milagros "Miracles" are small devotional charms that are traditionally used in most Latin American Countries. These votives are placed in small shrines, church, nichos, retablos, saints or altars. Milagros also refers to an ancient aspect of Hispanic Folk Culture: Small silver or gold votive offerings. A person attaches a Milagro to a saint for a special request of a miracle for a particular aliment of the body.

These devotional Milagros are still being fervently used in Latin America and the tradition was brought to the US. I have seen on a local Mission that these milagros are still attached to a Saint. I have also seen thank you notes, for miracle granted, attached to these milagros.

My inspiration on this bracelet was the stunning copper heart with patina finish, which can represent The Sacred Heart of Jesus, or human heart troubles, handcrafted in Peru and all the other milagro charms. How faith can grant you a miracle.

Vintage & New Medals Charm Braclet

I truly loved creating this three strand charm bracelet - the old world meeting the new world. I used vintage copper chain, vintage St. Therese Relic Detente, other vintage medals, St. Damiano Relic and a large Our Lady of San Juan De Los Lagos medal. Includes St. Patrick, Miraculous Medal, Praying Hands and many beads and gemstones.

I was inspired to create a Milagros charm bracelet similar to the Milagros charm necklace I had created. I loved the outcome, the combination of vintage and new, the medals with the Milagros and the turquoise with the copper.
