Special Relics

Throughout the time I have been creating my religious jewelry I have had the privilege to have met some wonderful Spiritual people that in turn have been blessed of obtaining very Sacred 3rd Class Relics that they wanted to share with me so I will be able to touch my jewelry to these special Sacred Relics with no intention of financial gain, only to bless others.

These relics include Rose petals touched to  St. Therese's body, a prayer card relic with feathers from  St. Padre Pio's pillows, Relic piece which is part of St. Padre Pio's garment,  pieces of cloths touched to 3rd. Class relics of the following Saints; St. Mary Magdalene, St. Ann, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Therese, St. Gemma Galdani,  and Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos.

 A special piece of cloth by Lidia, she is the coordinator for Misión Por el Amor de Dios en Todo el Mundo "For the Love of God Worldwide",  a very special lady in Mexico that has been spreading the devotion to St. Philomena and also sent me a piece of cloth touched to a First Class relic of St. Philomena

Recently I was blessed once again by receiving a package from a very special lady, Vivi, from France, a special package containing many blessed medals, including from Our Lady of Miraculous Medal direct from Rue du Bac Chapel, Paris, Padre Pio’s and Archangel Michaël’s direct from Italy, St. Thérèse’s direct from Lisieux and from Basilica Pontificia San Nicola and other special pieces of devotionals.

Including a 3rd class relic, a silk touched the bones of the Saint, from St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
Also included very special Blessed medals of Jesus' Holy Tunic from Argenteuil and a special card with a picture of Jesus' Holy Tunic, " Christ’s Tunic is the piece of clothing worn by Jesus during the last hours preceding his death. It was also worn during the Last Supper, the agony of Gethsemane, the arrest at the Mount of Olives, the appearance before the Sanhedrin and before Pilate and finally during the path to Calvary.

Weaved in one piece from top to bottom, Christ’s Tunic is seamless. The Tunic collected the blood from his wounds during Christ’s Road to Calvary. Early Christian communities considered it as a relic of great importance and it was kept in the Orient for several centuries"
The tunic was on exhibition at the Basilica of Argenteuil

I was blessed to have received all of these special relics and I have always touched and will continue to touch my jewelry with these special relics.

 The intention is to venerate these Saints and inspire you into prayer for the intercession of the Saints

Newest Creations

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

Another bracelet is honoring Our Lady of Miraculous Medal using vintage medals and bracelet

Another bracelet honoring Our Lady of Perpetual Help using a stunning large medal of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and adding a brass crown.  I used natural Mother of Pearl beads and beautiful lucite trumpet flowers 

Mary's Way of the Cross

This week I wanted to post something spiritual and reflecting on Our Lord's Sacrifice and Our Blessed Mother's Sorrows and also reflecting on our own personal life and how to make changes but my mind was completely blocked and could not think on anything.

Today I received an email from Rick, a great return buyer from my store and stated he felt he needed to share "Mary's Way of the Cross", narrated by Angelina cd but didn't know why.

I was completely amazed on him sharing and I looked it up and found these amazing videos that are perfect for what I wanted to listen and share this week.  I am forever grateful to him for being the messenger and trusting his heart to share with me even if he didn't know why.

They are amazing, very moving and touching to helps to reflect within and try to mirror ourselves in Mary.

This is the first of three

Nostalgia

This week I was inspired to create a couple of bracelets with the Nostalgia of past times when pictures were black and white.

Maybe a reminiscence time where I believe there was more fervor in praying and getting closer to all Divine.
For some reason those pictures do bring a very sensitive part of me.  Sensitive in the sense of being in touch with the Spiritual more.

I have always loved antiques and the pictures I used on these couple of bracelets bring that feel to them.

One I created honoring Our Lady of Sorrows

In this bracelet I used a beautiful image of Our Lady of Sorrows in black and white adorned with clear rhinestones.  Using beautiful white foil glass hears, to express Her Love for humanity that She accepted being Mother to Our Lord and knowing His Sacrifice for humanity, and black and white lampwork glass beads.

I incorporated pink roses also representing Her Love and a reminder that Her Love will always be with us.

Another bracelet I created is honoring Our Lady of Lourdes

Also using a beautiful image of Our Lady of Lourdes in black and white and adorned with clear rhinestones as well.

I created a beautiful pendant using a vintage brooch, converted into pendant, and adding a vintage medal of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal and adorned with clear rhinestones to make the medal stand out.

On this bracelet the colors are more subtle using beautiful smokey lavender, very unique color, beads and beautiful Earth tone Czech. glass beads to accent the white pearls and to make the pendant stand out more, I used a beautiful handcrafted red rose created by my daughter-in-law, Ya-Ya.
