I had been inspired to create rustic style jewelry using lead-free solder and it has been a challenge learning the process but I love the end result and it is an amazing experience.
While I'm creating one of these pieces, I get lost in time with each piece and I really don't have a plan or a design in mind when I begin each piece, I just start with the basic solder and it just flows and I am always in awe at the end result, like my hands are just guided and everything falls into place.
Here are just few of the latest creations

Dear Lady of Fatima,
We come on bended knee,
To beg Your intercession,
For peace and unity.

The right and shining way,

Each time that You appeared,
To help us if we pray to You,
To banish war and fear.
Dear Lady, on First Saturdays,

For grace and guidance here on earth,
And protection for our land.

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.

"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
O Virgin of Guadalupe,
Mother of the Americas,
grant to our homes the grace of loving
and respecting life in its beginnings,
with the same love with which
you conceived in your womb
the life of the Son of God.
Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of Fair Love,
protect our families so that
they may always be united
and bless the upbringing of our children.
Our hope, look upon us with pity,
teach is to go continually to Jesus,
and if we fall
help us to rise again and return to Him
through the confession of our faults
and our sins in the Sacrament of penance,
which gives peace to the soul.
We beg you to grant us a great love
of all the holy Sacraments,
which are, as it were,
the signs that your Son left us on earth.
Thus, Most Holy Mother,
with the peace of God in our consciences,
with our hearts free from evil and hatred,
we will be able to bring to all others
true joy and peace,
which come to us from your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.

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.

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.
The center piece is a stunning antique piece from a broken bracelet and added a beautiful vintage aluminium medal of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal attached to a brass setting with vintage lace and vintage rhinestones.
I love the golden cameo of Our Blessed Mother complimenting the bracelet with that antique look.

"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.
