I was able to find another large medal of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel to make another bracelet in Her honor. I wish more larger medals would be made of Our Blessed Mother

This image is one of my favorites of Our Blessed Mother, I feel so much of Her love and comfort when I gaze at Her image, there is this sweetness.

On this bracelet I added several tiny Catholic medals as well including Divine Mercy, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Lady of Medjugorge, Sacred Heart, St. Jude and Divine Child

Jesus Relic, Reliquary Locket Religious Medal Necklace

I compassionate thee, O most sorrowful Mother Thy heart was pierced with a sword of grief  when Simeon foretold to thee in the Temple  the ignominious death and the desolation  of thy Divine and most dear Son,  which thou west destined one day to witness.  By the great anguish of thy suffering heart,  O gracious Queen of the universe,  impress upon my mind,  in life and in death,  the sacred Passion of Jesus and shine own sorrows.  Amen. 
St. Alphonsus

I created another special and meaningful locket reliquary locket necklace with a very unique relic touched to the Holy Shroud of Oviedo in Spain (Cloth touched to the Holy Shroud of Oviedo) (Head-veil of Christ)

I added red beads to represent the Precious Blood of Christ. I included a one decade rosary and a piece of a vintage broken bracelet depicting the Stations of the Cross

I found it interesting that on this relic medal there is a red stain inside the glass dome and not all the relics have this stain, I did noticed it when I was adding it to the locket.

OL Fatima, Angels Altered Art Locket Religious Necklace

O Most Holy Virgin Mary,

Queen of the most Holy Rosary,

you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima

and reveal a glorious message.

We implore you,

inspire in our hearts a fervent love

for the recitation of the Rosary.

By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption

that are recalled therein

may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask,

through the merits of Jesus Christ,

our Lord and Redeemer.


When my kids, now young men, were little they used to be scared of the night, specially my middle child, he was constantly fearing having to go to bed because he was scared, no matter what I would tell him or prayed with him, he would still get up on the middle of the night.

One day I had the idea of making him, and my other kids, a special angel trinket box which included a feather and stardust and I found a beautiful poem to go perfect for the box and I told them that God appoints special beautiful angels for each one of us and specially at night when he is afraid he can open this little box and he would find a piece of his angel and that will connect him with his angel to come and save him and take away his fears and it did helped him sleep better with no more fears and they still remember their little box, when they see I make one for someone else.

That's what I wanted to create with this locket, be a reminder that Our Blessed Mother and Our Lord has appointed special angels to protect us.

This is the poem, I just added the last part to the poem to go with the box I had created

An Angel flew by a bustle was heard,
As I caught my breath I saw an angel in flight,
With a whisk of her wings sheltering me,
Stardust fell glistening free,
I could hear my heartstrings playing as she flew, leaving behind this stardust. Whenever you feel lonely or down, just open this locket as a reminder that your angel is always around.

I also included three Hail Mary's beads and one Our Father with a St. Michael charm for The Crown of St. Michael Chaplet

Virgin Mary Czestochowa Saints Religious Medal Bracelet

The Black Madonna of Czestochowa The Icon was, according to legend, painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on a cypress table top from the house of the Holy Family. The picture shows the Madonna in fleur de lys robes.

The painting displays a traditional composition derived from the icons of Eastern Orthodoxy. The Virgin Mary is shown as the "Hodegetria" ("One Who Shows the Way"). In it the Virgin directs attention away from herself, gesturing with her right hand toward Jesus as the source of salvation. In turn, the child extends his right hand toward the viewer in blessing while holding a book of gospels in his left hand.

the oldest documents from Jasna Góra states that the picture travelled from Jerusalem, via Constantinople, to finally reach Czestochowa in August 1382. The Black Madonna is credited with miraculously saving the monastery of Jasna Gó ra (English: Bright Mount) from a Swedish 17th Century invasion, The Deluge, which actually changed the course of the war. This event led King Jan Kazimierz to "crown" Our Lady of Czestochowa ("the Black Madonna") as Queen and Protector of Poland in the cathedral of Lwó w on April 1, 1656. This legend was however created much later than the actual events, as in reality the icon had been taken away well in advance so as to prevent it from falling into the hands of the advancing Swedish army.

Another legend concerning the Black Madonna of Czestochowa is that the presence of the holy painting saved its church from being destroyed in a fire, but not before the flames darkened the flesh tone pigments. The legend concerning the two scars on the Black Madonna's right cheek is that a Hussite robber drew his sword upon the image and inflicted two deep strikes. When the robber tried to inflict a third strike, he fell to the ground and squirmed in agony until his death. Despite past attempts to repair these scars, they had always reappeared.*

I had been saving this beautiful vintage medal of Our Lady of Czestochowa for a very long time until I felt it was the right time to use it and I found that this is the right time to use it. I love the detail of this medal.

I added other Catholic medals including vintage and new.

I added gorgeous coral color fresh water pearls and vintage and new pearls to embrace the wrist and enhance the medals.

Virgin Mary OL Rosary Religious Charm Bracelet

O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary,

in these times of brazen impiety,
show again thy power,
with the signs which accompanied thy victories of old,
and from the throne where thou art seated,
dispensing pardon and grace,
in pity watch over the Church of thy Son,
His Vicar, and every order of the clergy and laity,
suffering in grievous warfare.
Hasten, O most powerful destroyer of heresy,
hasten the hour of mercy seeing that the hour of judgment
is daily challenged by innumerable offences.
Obtain for me, the lowest of men,
kneeling suppliant in thy presence,
the grace which may enable me to live a just life on earth,
and reign with the just in Heaven,
whilst with the faithful throughout the world,
O Queen of the most holy Rosary,
I salute thee and cry out:
Queen of the most holy Rosary,
pray for us!

Amen.




The Rosary being a Garland of Roses and a beautiful poetry for Our Blessed Mother. I wanted to add a rosary to this bracelet honoring Our Lady of the Rosary.

Immaculate and Sacred Heart Locket Religious 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




There is no better inspiration that infinite Divine Love of Our Lord and Blessed Mother to fill our lives, how Their Hearts is always radiating Love for us no matter what and always with Their Hearts open for us to fill ours with that Love.

I created this necklace as a reminder of that unity of Their Hearts together with ours and to radiate that Love where is needed.

I used a very unique locket to create a shrine for Our Lord's Sacred Heart and added an Immaculate Heart of Mary cameo on the outside. In addition I had this unique vintage style heart milagro and added beautiful clay flowers and rhinestones.

I included a One Decade Rosary to keep prayer close to our hearts.

May this Divine Love be always with you
