Custom Construction Medium-size Heirloom Rosary Designs with 6mm Gemstone Ave Beads

This page shows a number of medium-sized rosaries that I have made.  You can order any of these rosaries right from this page.  The regular price rosaries, though not in stock, can be custom ordered in the same design right; in most case, it can be constructed and shipped in under 2 weeks!  The ones on sale, however, are hanging in my rosary room now ready to be shipped.  Or you can use the images and descriptions here for your own custom construction ideas, and get a ballpark idea of what it might cost.  Contact me about the rosary that interests you!   


The heirloom rosaries will stand up to heavy use through multiple generations.  The super strong wire is virtually unbreakable.   The rosaries on this page are made with strong 20 gauge or thicker solid wire.    I use Stainless steel, bronze and brass wire to hand-turn each individual rosary bead. Available rosaries ship next day.  Please allow 2 weeks for shipping of custom ordered rosaries.

Goldstone Heirloom Rosary (6MM)

Goldstone is the beautiful glass invention of Renaissance monks in Venice, Italy.  This fascinating gemstone has microscopic inclusions of metallic copper that have crystallized out of the liquid glass as the stone slowly cools in an oxygen-deprived environment.  These gemstones scintillate in the sunlight as the solar rays reflect off the minute flecks of metal within the stone's interior.   In this rosary, I have linked together six millimeter gemstones with heavy brass wire and chain, and tied each decade together with ten millimeter Pater beads.  The solid bronze crucifix and center piece are a lovely match to this gemstone!

Apatite Heirloom Bronze Rosary (6mm)

Apatite is a mineral that is found in places as diverse as our tooth enamel and Moon rocks! Apatite is a hard mineral that has the ability to trap water within its crystal structure. If all the Moon's surface apatite released its water, there would be enough water to cover the Moon with a sea one meter deep!


Apatite varies in color from yellow, brown, pink, and violet, but our apatite gemstones have a blue-green color which is quite unique and beautiful. The gemstone is semi-transparent.

Blue Goldstone Bronze Heirloom Rosary (6mm)
The first goldstone discovered was composed of a mixture of glass and copper, which gave it a golden color, but subsequent gems composed of colbalt were discovered that allowed for a dark blue bead with scintillating points of light that flashed from the interior of the stone as it was turned in the sun.  Photographs do not due it justice and it is nearly impossible to catch this beautiful play of light in a camera!

Since these gemstones have a glass structure, they are very difficult to turn on my strong solid bronze wire without fracturing the bead.  This makes this rosary a very unique work of art.  

This rosary is made with 6mm gemstone beads of this blue goldstone, and 8mm gemstones for the Our Father beads.  All parts are solid bronze antique reproductions.

Heirloom Rosary Black Onyx and White Bronze (6MM)
This rosary is an experiment; I am trying something new -- each bead is hand looped using stainless steel wire.  Stainless steel is tough to work with because it is so stiff, but I am hoping it makes for a stronger men's rosary.  As an experiment, I cannot guarantee this rosary so I am offering it at a very low price -- $50 off -- for anyone who wants to try it out and give me feed back on how it holds up to use.  

In this men's rosary, 6mm Black Onyx gemstone beads are paired with White Bronze.  The rosary crucifix and center are hand cast in White bronze.  As the rosary shows this has the look of aged Silver without the Silver price.  The parts have great detail and are solid metal throughout.

Heirloom Black Onyx Rosary with Bronze (6MM)

Sugar and spice, and everything nice -- that's what little girls are made of.  And whether she's young or old, this heirloom rosary is perfect for the little girl in her!  Liturgically, the color is called "rose", but us girls just call it pink, and this dainty little rosary is pretty in pink crazy lace agate, with a center and crucifix chosen to maximize its girly appeal.  Because sometimes, us ladies just want to feel like a little girl in the arms of her loving Father.

Heirloom Azurite Lapis Lazuli Rosary (6mm)
Azurite Lapis Lazuli is a stunning blue and green gemstone which is hard to find in a high quality gemstone at a reasonable price.  This is the last of my Azurite supply since these gemstones are hard to replace; I will not purchase Azurite gemstones without examining them in advance to assure they are high quality.  I made this sturdy rosary with 6mm Ave rounds and larger barrel gemstones for the Pater beads.   My strong 20 gauge bronze wire ensures that this rosary will last a lifetime.  The chain that links the crucifix and center, as well as the Paters and the decades, is soldered shut on each link. 

The Angel center is a high relief bronze impression of a Cherub on both sides, matched to high relief corpse on the delicate patterned Crucifix.   These parts are solid bronze.  Nothing is plated in this rosary so that it will stand up to years of use.
