This 13-15" necklace is made with cultured pearls, reclaimed vintage "rice krispie" pearls, and a sterling silver replica of an antique rosary centerpiece. The centerpiece depicts the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, is 5/8" long, and is also reversible. The pins, clasp, and all other findings are stainless steel for tarnish resistance and durability.

Black Labradorite Sacred Heart
This 17-18" necklace is made with black labradorite, one of my new favorite semiprecious gemstones. It isn't actually black at all, but rather a sophisticated marbled gray with an occasional iridescent flash known as "labradorescence." The Sacred Heart centerpiece is sterling silver, featuring Our Lady of Victory on the reverse. All the beads are strung on stainless steel pins with a stainless steel clasp to add durability and prevent tarnishing. Included in the set are two pairs of matching stainless steel earrings with rubber earnuts.
Large Hematite Crucifix
This exquisite 2" crucifix is a sterling silver reproduction of an antique piece. To compliment its size, I paired it with large hematite beads (6-8mm) on stainless steel chain with a stainless steel clasp. All jumprings and pins are also stainless steel. The necklace is 16.5-17.5" long, and comes with matching stainless steel earrings. Rubber earnuts are included.
Petite Pearl Miraculous Medal
This petite 15-16" necklace is made with a 0.5" sterling silver rosary centerpiece, cultured freshwater rice pearls and vintage "Rice Krispie" pearls repurposed from an older necklace. "Rice Krispie" pearls were common in the 1970s and 80s. The set includes a matching 6-7" bracelet. All findings are stainless steel with the exception of the platinum-plated clasps.
Amethyst Bronze Heart
This 14.5-16" necklace is sized for a child, but an attached extension chain allows for a lifetime of wear. It features a puffed heart medal depicting a cross and anchor, identical on both sides, a bronze replica of an antique piece. The beads are 4mm amethyst and gray agate, and all the findings are Vintaj natural brass. The set includes a matching 5.5-7" bracelet.
Black Obsidian Sacred Heart
This 16-17" necklace features a sterling silver reproduction of an antique Sacred Heart medal hung on a stainless steel chain with natural black obsidian beads and chips. The set includes matching stainless steel earrings. Obsidian, which is natural volcanic glass, is deceptively lightweight, making the earrings quite comfortable to wear.
Ave Maria Black Line Agate
This is a long necklace, 25.5", made of semiprecious black line agate beads and pendant, stainless steel findings, and a large sterling silver antique replica Ave Maria monogram medal. Matching earrings with rubber ear nuts included.
Garnet Tassel Fleur-de-lis
This 16-17" necklace is built around a stunning bronze replica of an antique fleur-de-lis medal with red garnet and gray agate semiprecious gemstone beads.
