Catholic St. Dymphna Relic Saints Medals Religious Charm Lampwork Bracelet

Patronage for Nervous and Mental Afflictions


Dymphna was fourteen when her mother died. Damon is said to have been afflicted with a mental illness, brought on by his grief. He sent messengers throughout his town and other lands to find some woman of noble birth, resembling his wife, who would be willing to marry him. When none could be found, his evil advisers told him to marry his own daughter. Dymphna fled from her castle together with St. Gerebran, her confessor and two other friends. Damon found them in Belgium. He gave orders that the priest's head be cut off. Then Damon tried to persuade his daughter to return to Ireland with him. When she refused, he drew his sword and struck off her head. She was then only fifteen years of age. Dymphna received the crown of martyrdom in defense of her purity about the year 620. She is the patron of those suffering from nervous and mental afflictions. Many miracles have taken place at her shrine, built on the spot where she was buried in Gheel, Belgium.



I created this unique bracelet honoring a great Saint, St. Dymphna using a 3rd class relic medal of the Saint.  Using as well other Catholic medals including St. Benedict, St. Anthony, Our Lady of Victory with Don Bosco, Archangel St. Raphael, Our Lady of Fatima, Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Lazarus and St. George.

Adding to this bracelet very unique angel charms and a stunning large Bali-style flower to make the gorgeous wedding cake lampwork beads stand out.  The combination of beads and colors are very unique as well, yellow with purple one of my favorite combinations.

St Benedict, Saints Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

PATRONAGE: Against evil, witchcraft; against poison; agricultural workers; carvers; civil engineers; copper smiths; dying people

THE JUBILEE MEDAL OF ST. BENEDICT

The power of St. Benedict is revealed in this small object that has been fostered by his spiritual sons many years. Marvelous is the aid which the St. Benedict Medal affords to its devout wearers in the manifold necessities of soul and body. On this account the Medal is well known and widely used throughout the Christian world; everywhere it is regarded as a highly favored object of devotion.

St. Benedict (born at Nursia, Italy, in 480) had a profound veneration for the holy Cross and for our Saviour Crucified. In virtue of the Sign of the Cross, he wrought many miracles and exercised great power over the spirits of darkness. In consequence of the great veneration in which St. Benedict was held from the early Middle Ages, it followed that a Medal was struck, one side of which represents St. Benedict holding the Cross in one hand and the Holy Rule in the other. Around the image of St. Benedict are these words in Latin "May his presence protect us in the hour of death." St. Benedict has ever been the patron of the dying, because of the circumstances attending his own most glorious death, for he breathed forth his soul while standing in prayer before the Most Blessed Sacrament.

The reverse of the Medal shows the image of the Cross. Around the margin are the initials of Latin words which form verses supposed to have originated with the holy Father Benedict himself. The English translation is: "Be gone Satan! Suggest not to me thy vain things. The cup thou profferest me is evil; drink thou thy poison." In the angles formed by the arms of the Cross are the letters C.S.P.B., signifying "Cross of the holy Father Benedict." The letters on the Cross itself have this meaning: "May the holy Cross be my light; let not the dragon be my guide."

Medals of Saint Benedict are sacramentals that may be blessed legitimately by any priest or deacon




I created this unique bracelet honoring St. Benedict using a St. Benedict large medal and also using several Italian Catholic medals which include Our Lady of Sorrows with St. Peregrine, Sacred Heart of Child Jesus,  Holy Child of Atocha, Archangel St. Gabriel, Our Lady of Victory with Don Bosco and others.

Beads I used are a very unique bumpy beads that I was taken away with it's uniqueness with green and blue over black.  I also used beautiful Jasper Gemstone beads and glass blue beads.

"Mother's Sorrows" Catholic Medals Charm Bracelet



Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows, by St. Bridget

O Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, who didst endure a martyrdom of love and grief beholding the sufferings and sorrows of Jesus! Thou didst cooperate in the benefit of my redemption by thine innumerable afflictions and by offering to the Eternal Father His only begotten Son as a holocaust and victim of propitiation for my sins. I thank thee for the unspeakable love which led thee to deprive thyself of the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus, true God and true Man, to save me, a sinner. Oh, make use of the unfailing intercession of thy sorrows with the Father and the Son, that I may steadfastly amend my life and never again crucify my loving Redeemer by new sins, and that, persevering till death in His grace. I may obtain eternal life through the merits of His Cross and Passion. Amen.
Mother of love, of sorrow and of mercy, pray for us.




Another inspired creation by the Sorrows of Our Most Loving Blessed Mother with Her Sorrow and Love always embraces in our own sorrows and pains.

I created this bracelet as that reminder that she will always embrace us in our sorrows and I included a picture frame charm if a picture of a loved one wants to be added.

I added several Catholic medals including Archangel St. Michael, St. Benedict, St. Therese and others.

I also used vintage white beads and adorned cameo with beautiful clear aurora borealis Czech. rhinestones

PRAYER TO ST. BENEDICT

Glorious St. Benedict, sublime model of virtue, pure vessel of God's grace! Behold me humbly kneeling at your feet. I implore you in your loving kindness to pray for me before the throne of God. To you I have recourse in the dangers that daily surround me. Shield me against my selfishness and my indifference to God and to my neighbor. Inspire me to imitate you in all things. May your blessing be with me always, so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His kingdom.


What a blessing it is to feel the protection of such a divine Saint that God has granted the power to intercede for us in our time of need. May St. Benedict be that Saint when you find yourself needed a special protection from evil.

I created this bracelet with a very unique antique-style medal of St. Benedict. Other Catholic medals I added are St. Therese, large crucifix, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Jude, Archangel Gabriel and others.

I added a stunning large vintage button on center of bracelet.

Inspired

I have been inspired lately to create earrings not as a fashion statement but also as a statement of our faith.

Many woman cannot wear bracelets due to their job nor wear necklaces and the only item of jewelry they wear are earrings and still want to carry a reminder of Our Lord's and Blessed Mothers grace and love.

That is why I created these earrings after much taught if I should or not, but the inspiration kept coming to me.

These are just a few of my creations. I have more in my store

St Benedict St Michael Saints Religious Medals Bracelet




Patronage: Against evil, witchcraft; against poison, agricultural workers; carvers; vicil engineers' copper smiths; dying people

I wanted to create a bracelet with two very powerful intercessors against evil, St. Benedict and St. Michael.

I call upon their assistance when I feel the negative forces at work. I had a previous experience where my oldest son was having a difficult time with a negative force after him and when I prayed for him and invoked St. Benedict and St. Michael thru the Precious Blood of Christ, I fell this warmth feeling in the room and even my son witnessed a white light coming to the room and formed the shape of St. Benedict which he then walked into my son's room and peace came once again.

I cannot thank St. Benedict and St. Michael enough for that intercession. My son is now a firm believer and wears St. Benedict medal all the time.

If you are going thru a difficult time associated with evil, make sure you always carry with you a St. Benedict medal after being blessed and ask for his intercession thru prayer. I cannot emphasize enough how powerful his and St. Michael's intercessions are

I am very pleased with the outcome of this bracelet.

The center is from a necklace I was given by one of my lovely and wonderful customers. She has sent me two boxes full of supplies and medals. God works thru people to make sure I have enough supplies.

"Precious Blood" Jesus Religious Medals Charm Bracelet


Canticle of the Blood
By Saint Maria de Mattias

Come, let us adore Christ, the Son of God,
who has redeemed us with His blood.

Clap your hands, all you peoples,
sing unto God with a voice of jubilation.

For You, God, glorious and mighty,
have shown us mercy.

You have not spared Your only Son
but delivered Him up in our behalf.

That You might redeem us from
our sins in Christ’s own blood;

That justified in the blood of Jesus
You might turn Your anger from us;

That we who were separated might
be reconciled through the blood of Christ.

O God, my God, what can I render
to You for all the good You have bestowed upon me?

I will take the chalice of salvation,
and I will call upon the power of Christ’s blood.

Sing to Jesus, all you saints, and
make known the memory of His Holiness.

For Christ indeed has loved us and
washed us in His blood and has
become our helper and redeemer.

May Christ be blessed forever who
has wrought such wonders in us.

Blessed be Jesus for all ages, and
may the heavens and the earth
be filled with the praises of His love.

Come, let us adore Christ, the Son
of God, who has redeemed us with His blood. Amen.


I created this bracelet as a reminder of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice for humanity and His love for us redeeming us with His Precious Blood

I added teardrop red Czech. glass beads to represent Our Lord's Precious Blood and a very unique crucifix and a Chalice charm.


Christ did not yield up His life until He had accomplished the work He came to do, and with His parting breath He exclaimed, "It is finished." (John 19:30).

St. Michael, St. Benedict and Archangels Religious Charm Bracelet


"The very name of Michael urges us to honor this glorious spirit; it is a cry of enthusiasm and fidelity, for it signifies: "Who is like unto God?" satan trembles at hearing this name, for it reminds him of the noble protest wherewith the bright Archangel answered the call of the rebel angels. Michael proved his strength and prowess when he fought the great battle in Heaven. From that hour he has been known as "Michael, the captain of the armies of God, first Prince of the Holy City, to whom the other angels yield ready obedience. They most willingly and gratefully recognize his supremacy, for after God, they owe to him their perseverance in grace and their eternal happiness. With loving submission, they receive from him their various offices. They are attentive to the slightest wish, because they recognize in his commands and regulations the will of God, their sovereign Lord and King.*

* St. Michael and the angels by Tan Books

I created this bracelet in honor of most powerful and majestic Archangel St. Michal and other Archangels and as well as for St. Benedict, powerful intercessor against evil.

I other other archangels charms as well, beautiful ornate angel wings and gemstones.


I added one of God's creations being Amethyst. This gemstone is rough and not polished. I like rough gemstones better because they have not been polished and feel more natural.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Amber and Turquoise Catholic Necklace





PATRONESS OF THE UNBORN
THE BLACK BELT
She was with child because she wore the Aztec Maternity Belt.

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.

When I wanted to create another necklace in honor of Our Most Humble Lady of Guadalupe, I wanted it to have an ethnic feel and look to it.

I used a beautiful color vintage cameo of Our Lady of Guadalupe set in copper setting and surrounded by turquoise beads. I also added a large turquoise bead and amber. Crosses and other beads are turquoise color howlite beads.

I also added a copper tiny cross and a copper St. Benedict medal.

St. Lucy Relic Religious Charm Bracelet


Patronage: Against blindness, eye disease, eye problems, salesmen, sore eyes, throat infections, writers, hemorraghes, authors

Rich, young Christian of Greek ancestry. Raised in a pious family, she vowed her life to Christ. Her Roman father died when she was young. Her mother, Eutychia, arranged a marriage for her. For three years she managed to keep the marriage on hold. To change the mother's mind about the girl's new faith, Lucy prayed at the tomb of Saint Agatha, and her mother's long haemorrhagic illness was cured. Her mother agreed with Lucy's desire to live for God, and Lucy became known as a patron of those with maladies like her mother's. Her rejected pagan bridegroom, Paschasius, denounced Lucy as a Christian to the governor of Sicily. The governor sentenced her to forced prostitution, but when guards went to fetch her, they could not move her even when they hitched her to a team of oxen. The governor ordered her killed instead. After torture that included having her eyes torn out, she was surrounded by bundles of wood which were set afire; they went out. She prophesied against her persecutors, and was executed by being stabbed to death with a dagger. Her name is listed in the prayer "Nobis quoque peccatoribus" in the Canon of the Mass. Legend says her eyesight was restored before her death. This and the meaning of her name led to her connection with eyes, the blind, eye trouble, etc.
