The detailed Our Lady of the Snows Sterling centerpiece is secured with bowtie wraps.

Each fabulously polished 8mm Ave bead is capped with a heavy Sterling ring on each side to stabilize the wire loops.

The reverse of the Sterling antique reproduction crucifix is fantastically detailed. The obverse of the crucifix features a dove at the pinnacle and skull and bones beneath the feet of Our Lord.

This rosary is sigh-worthy, really. The beads are all so beautiful, the crucifix and center are two personal faves, it feels like silk and it's a perfect moderate weight. If you look closely, you'll see score lines around the Paters. The carvers use those to mark the bone. Gorgeous!
