Each one unique and with it's own inspiration.

Altered Art Catholic Wearable Shrines

I love creating altered art shrines as a piece of jewelry to display your faith and devotion and be able to wear and carry with you as you wear it.

Recently I created this piece honoring Our Beloved Sacred Heart of Jesus using a vintage  hand painted pocket statue inside a heart locket and embellished with beautiful rhinestones.

I used one of God's beautiful creations, which are the gemstones  (  showing the beauty in all of God's creation and how we can see God in everything)

" The Whole Earth is a living icon of the face of God"  St. John Damascene

I also created these other pieces of altered art shrines honoring Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Miraculous Medal - on the Our Lady of Lourdes locket shrine I used stunning vintage celestial aqua color crystals embellishment (signed Wiesner); handmade and hand painted 1 1/4" plaster (sealed) pocket statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, one Hail Mary and one Our Father beads from vintage broken Rosary; beautiful image of Sacred Heart surrounded by angels transfered unto fabric giving it a look and feel of canvas

Catholic Virgin Mary OL Lourdes Cameo, Saints Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

 Our Lady of Lourdes: France, 1858

Our Lady appeared to 14 year old Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France, 18 times from February through July, 1858. During the apparitions she told Bernadette to dig a hole which later in the day produced a stream of water, bringing about thousands of spiritual and physical cures even to this day. Mary pleaded for "Penitence! Penitence! Penitence!" and urged us to "Pray to God for sinners". She called herself the "Immaculate Conception"

This bracelet came as inspiration after having a dream days before that I found myself in a cave, which is not the first time I have dreams of caves and Our Blessed Mother is there.  In one instance She was surrounded by Rosaries and other time surrounded by clear crystals and this time the She was surrounded by what appeared to be moonstone the stones had a beautiful cloudy finish but shiny.  She was standing with Her hands folded in prayer and when She opened them, gold was emanating from Her chest, it looked like real liquid gold on Her, She was just so beautiful and when I tried to look at Her, I could not help to bow down in reverence and also Her presence is so Glorious that are times I feel so humbled that She would come to me in my dreams.  I felt so much love and tenderness and Her smile was so inviting that I wish I could have spent more time in Her presence.  

This is an antique style cuff bracelet using a stunning cameo of Our Lady of Lourdes surrounded by Czech. rhinestones and set on vintage lace and adorned with vintage and new embellishments including rhinestones.

Medals used are brass and copper of St. Benedict, Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Miraculous Medal

Virgin Mary Miraculous Medal Pocket Watch Shrine Religious Necklace

I love creating these style of shrines with pocket watches because you are able to see inside and specially able to see the image of Our Blessed Mother.  Even though it's difficult to keep the glass due to the pewter statue inside, but without glass still as beautiful.

On this pocket watch shrine I added a beautiful pewter statue of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, Fresh Water Pearl Cross and vintage and new embellishments including pearls, flowers and rhinestones.

These creations are a conversation piece and I love that because you will start a conversation making honor to Our Blessed Mother. 

Our Lady of Victory Necklace

Today  I finished this beautiful necklace honoring Our Lady of Victory.  For some time now I had been wanting to create a necklace with turquoise and today that inspiration came to me using a beautiful and unique cross which I added a beautiful figural medal of Our Lady of Victory with Baby Jesus.

To this necklace I added large turquoise, large rough Garnet beads and darker stones from turquoise stones making it more unique

I listed this necklace at my Etsy Shop, Angelo's Treasures http://www.etsy.com/shop/AngelosTreasures?ref=si_shop

Catholic Virgin Mary OL Mr Carmel Catholic Locket Shrine Religious Pendant

I created another one of a kind embellished locket shrine honoring Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.  I truly love creating these embellished altered art lockets.  It takes a lot of time to gather the special pieces that will create each piece and more time to make sure every piece falls into place in harmony to finish one piece and all pieces coincide and appear so beautiful and it's worth the time and the effort for each one being so unique and special.  

I have always been inspired how in Latin American Our Blessed Mother has been adorned with so many beautiful embellishments including lace, crystals and pearls and that was my inspiration for this piece.

I collected several pieces which are vintage including rhinestones and roses and I also added on the back a beautiful vintage sequin lace.

Catholic Virgin Mary Cameo, Saints Religious Medals Handcrafted Charm Bracelet

For a very long time I wanted to add a rhinestone or jewel crown to Our Blessed Mother in my cameos but could hardly find small enough to fit on the cameo until I found a stunning brooch that had small enough pieces to convert into crowns and I was so excited to be able to incorporate the crown to the image of Our Lady.

This bracelet turned out so unique with the color combinations.  I also found some stunning lampwork hearts with gold foil that were meant for this bracelet.

Catholic medals I used are Immaculate Heart of Mary, Christ, St. Juan Diego with Our Lady of Guadalupe, Blessed Sacrament, St. Benedict, Mother Theresa and Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In addition to the stunning hearts, I added beautiful cream color with black lampwork beads making this bracelet unique.

It's a very special locket reliquary that includes a special relic touched to the Holy Sudarium of Oviedo.

Vintage and New Catholic Virgin Mary Bracelet

When I created this bracelet I wanted to achieve an antique look and feel to this bracelet.  I used many vintage pieces and new ones as well.
