Jesus Christ Cameo Bracelet

PRAYER TO THE CRUCIFIED JESUS
Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who at the sixth hour didst mount the gibbet of the Cross for the redemption of the world and didst shed Thy Precious Blood for the remission of our sins, we humbly beseech Thee, that Thou wouldst grant us the grace after death to enter with joy the gates of paradise. Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.


I created this bracelet as a reminder of Our Lord's ultimate sacrifice and His suffering.
I used a 3D resin cameo enhanced with beautiful Jasper, one of God's Creations, and smokey quartz.
I also added a Jerusalem cross (The four smaller crosses are said to symbolize either the four books of the Gospel or all five crosses can symbolize the five wonds of Christ during the Passion.)
I also added other Catholic medals, St. Joseph, St. Christopher, Virgin Mary, St. Michael and others.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Relic Charm Bracelet

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.

God of power and mercy, you blessed the Americas at Tepeyac with the presence of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. May her prayers help all men and women to accept each other as brothers and sisters. Through your justice present in our hearts, may your peace reign in the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
I was inspired to create this bracelet in honor to Our Blessed Mother Our Lady of Guadalupe in turquoise color. I created angels using turquoise howlite stone, adding tibetan turquoise and goldtone ornate bead caps as part of the gown and antique goldtone wings and halos.
On center I added a beautiful carved coral rose holding Our Blessed Mother's color medal.
Other Catholic medals I used are: St. Michael, Guardian Angel, St. Padre Pio, St. Peregrine, St. Philomena, Pope John Paul ll, Our Lady of Czestechowa and St. Francis Xavier.

St. Benedict Relic 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 bracelet with a 3rd Class Relic of St. Benedict as well as a large medal. I added other Catholic Italian Medals: Four Way Cross, St. Christopher, St. Joseph, St. Dymphna, St. Joan of Arc, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Holy Child of Atocha, St. Rita, Our Lady of Medjugorje, St. Isisdore, St. John of God, St. Dominic, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. I added a beautiful onyx and sterling silver connector adding a beautiful as well green turquoise howlite cross.
I added black glass beads and lots of cream color pearls as well.
