Virgencita - In the Hearts of All Children

Sometime ago I came across Our Lady of Guadalupe in a child form, which I loved and I even bought some charms to make my granddaughter a necklace but they were made of brass and very small, she didn't think anything of it.

Several weeks ago my daughter-in-law was sharing her idea of creating whimsical Kawaii style jewelry for kids and adults and I have always been supportive of all she does because she is very talented and her inspiration are her girls, my granddaughters, so I knew they will be beautiful and one day we came across an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe "Virgencita" and she just fell in love with her and she is very devoted to Our Blessed Mother and she was inspired to create jewelry honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe as "Virgencita".

Incredible enough we came across several Virgencitas for her to start creating her pieces and one day, we decided to make our own flowers to add to them when the inspiration came to create Our own "Virgencita" including the flowers and as we were creating them, I received a message that "She, Our Lady of Guadalupe, wants to be in all children's hearts" and we were more joyous on creating Her as a child like.

As we finished a couple of them, my 3 yr. old granddaughter, which had not known about Our Lady of Guadalupe, she gasped when she saw one and held her and she told my daughter-in-law "MOM THATS THE LADY OF GUA-DA-LUUUUPE!" and immediately wanted a necklace with one and that made us rejoice more that how a child that young could feel the joy of holding Our Lady of Guadalupe in a child like manner and identify with her, it was amazing and beautiful experience.

My daughter-in-law has launched her own designs with Our Virgencita in her Etsy shop

INGENIOUS YA-YA DESIGNS

These are some of her designs

   

These top three are necklaces of Our Lady "Virgencita"

This design is a cuff bracelet 

This is a necklace of Padre (Father) Eusebio Francisco Kino, Tucson's First European Explorer

Since she being from San Xavier and have lived there all her life.

Being part of this community is amazing and focuses a lot on the foundation of our most visited Church, Mission San Xavier del Bac, which was founded in 1692 by Father Kino.

You can read more on Father Kino here on this link, http://tucson-infonet.com/kino.html

She did a remarkable job creating Padre Kino herself with all the details.

She has been inspired to create Saints as well and Mother Theresa.

I was so inspired by her creations I wanted to create a bracelet myself and I listed it in my Etsy Shop

 Angelo's Treasures.  

Catholic Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saints, Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

Today I created another bracelet honoring our beautiful and humble Lady of Guadalupe using a stunning cross featuring Artwork from Cromo NB Studios in Milan, Italy.  I love the details on this cross and I love the Gold gilding on the cross as well.

I used other Catholic medals as St. Michael, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, St. Jude, Our Lady of Medjugorje, Divine Mercy, Archangel St. Gabriel and St. Damien of Molokai.

To enhance the beauty of the cross I added stunning heart lampwork beads, very unique in design and colors, pearls and glass beads as well as a beautiful lucite flower on center of bracelet.

"Golden Radiance" Our Lady of Guadalupe Charm Bracelet

This bracelet was inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe's Golden Radiance I experienced recently.

My youngest granddaughter, whom is only 7 months old, fell ill with Bronchiolitis  and had to be hospitalized due to having bad reaction to medications.

I had been praying for her well being and prayed to Our Lady of Guadalupe to protect her from any illness and bring her the healing that she needs and as I was praying I had a vision of Our Lady of Guadalupe picking up the baby and also holding my oldest granddaughter, which is 3 yrs old and holding both in Her arms and as she picked up the baby, She emanated a beautiful golden radiance that surrounded Her and the girls and was so beautiful that the radiance is indescribable and at that moment I knew She was healing my granddaughter.

My granddaughter is now out of the hospital and back to self, the happy baby that she was, like she was never sick.

Thank you Blessed Mother, will always Love You

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

Our Lady of Guadalupe and Catholic Medals Necklace

PATRONESS OF THE UNBORN

She was with child because she wore the Aztec Maternity Belt.

FEAST DAY DECEMBER 12
In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 474 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin

I created this necklace in honor of Our most humble Lady of Guadalupe using this beautiful pendant. Her picture is encased in glass and soldered together to give it a very unique finish.

To the necklace I added stabilized turquoise and a large coral bead.

Catholic medals include St. Theresa, St. Benedict, St. Francis Cabrini, Archangel St. Raphael and others.

This is a close up of the beautiful pendant.

Rose: 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

I added two beautiful coral carved roses to the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I used turquoise and brass as well. Other Catholic medals includes: Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, Sacred Heart, a beautiful vintage medal of St. Martin de Porres, Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Fatima.

Creating a bracelet to make honor to Our most humble Lady of Guadalupe to me brings so much joy and it is very special for me and feel so Blessed being able to create one and share my love for Her with others.

My first experience with Our Lady of Guadalupe was several years ago that I found myself witnessing Her apparition to St. Juan Diego, I could feel the heat of the day, see the hill with all the rocks and dry plants, the cactus and I could see, what I believe was St. Juan Diego walking up the hill and saw Her appearing in a soft mist taking Her form and could see Her beautiful face, so soft and so peaceful, It felt so real, so close that I wanted to reach out and touch her. I could never forget that experience.

My second experience was when my nephew was in the hospital, I could see her in my room, as well, in a soft mist and could feel a very warm feeling overcoming me. What was fascinating about this experience was that it happened at 2:00 a.m. and the next day when I went to visit my nephew, he claimed that someone was in his room and could feel very warm around 2:00 a.m. I was so overwhelmed that I shared my experienced with my family and reassured them that She was bringing healing.

That is the reason it is so special for me creating such a bracelet. I used Azurite, Turquoise and coral beads. Catholic medals include, a gorgeous color medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Christopher, Ornate Crucifix, Sorroful Mother, St. Theresa and others.
