ST. MICHAEL RELIC & 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

This bracelet I created in honor of Our Glorious St. Michael and Archangels using a very unique figural medal of St. Michael and adding other archangels charms which include: St. Raphael, St. Gabriel, Uriel, Jophiel, Zadquiel and Samuel.

I also added beautiful ornate angel wings, a large turquoise beads and howlite beads as well as vintage-style glass beads.

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CAMEO CATHOLIC NECKLACE


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 Lady of Guadalupe in a very unique way. I added brass embellishments to a resin cameo of Our Blessed Mother, an Immaculate Heart of Mary rosary center, Vintage Catholic medals, Jesus Christ Child, Angels, Miraculous Medal.

I also added a piece of a broken rosary which are ten Hail Marys made with Fresh Water Pearls and a real dried rose and other vintage pieces.

Holy Relic Touched to The Holy Shroud of Oviedo Bracelet



The Holy Shroud of Oviedo

The Sudarium is referred to in John 20:5-8.
The Sudarium of Oviedo, or Shroud of Oviedo, is a bloodstained cloth, 34" x 21", kept in the cathedral of Oviedo, Spain and claimed to be the cloth that was wrapped around the head of Jesus of Nazareth after he died (Head-veil of Christ).

I created this bracelet in the out most respect and love- I used a very special and unique Holy Relic medal. Relic on back of medal has been touched to The Holy Shroud of Oviedo, located in Spain.

I added natural Garnet gemstones to represent Our Lord's Precious Blood and also included a One Decade Rosary bracelet attached of the Holy Wounds of Jesus.

Other Catholic medals used are vintage medal of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, made in Western Germany, Infant of Prague, Virgin Mary, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Pope Joannes Paulus, St. Anthony, St. Michael, Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Immaculate Heart of Mary Vintage Cameo Artisan Catholic Necklace

Our Lady of The Sacred Heart

Remember, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, what ineffable power thy divine Son hath given thee over His own adorable Heart. Full of trust in thy merits, we come before thee and beg thy protection. O heavenly Treasurer of the Heart of Jesus, that Heart which is the inexhaustible source of all graces, which thou mayest open to us at thy good pleasure, in order that from it may flow forth upon mankind the riches of love and mercy, light and salvation, that are contained therein; grant unto us, we beseech thee, the favors which we seek. . . . We can never, never be refused by thee, and since thou art our Mother, O our Lady of the Sacred Heart, graciously hear our prayers and grant our request. Amen



I wanted to create something so different to honor Our Blessed Mother and I was inspired to create it antique-style and very dramatic and eye-catching to draw attention to Our Blessed Mother.

I created this spectacular cameo necklace using a beautiful vintage acrylic cameo of Our Blessed Mother Immaculate Heart of Mary. I surrounded the cameo with beautiful vintage lace which I adorned with lots of vintage embellishments including rhinestones, crystals, pearls and other finds.

This necklace took me several days to put together from treasure hunting, finding the right pieces to compliment the cameo and placing it all together. I was just overwhelmed with joy being able to create something like this to honor Our Blessed Mother.
