Star of the Sea - wire wrapped Rosary beads

This hand wrapped Rosary has been made using the hand wrapping technique, to create a strong, beautiful, durable Rosary. This Rosary has been created using 6mm marine glass Ave Maria beads; cube hot pink glass pearl Pater Noster beads; St Gerald Majella custom made centre with a celtic crucifix. 

The hand wrapping technique was the traditional method of Rosary making before eye pins and string became a more widely used method. As a result very few people use the hand wrapped wire technique to create Rosaries anymore.

Using this technique each bead is individually wrapped using wire wound and rewound around itself to create a beautiful and secure fastening for the beads, each bead is then individually linked to the next bead using the same method and for this full Rosary the process has been repeated 59 times and back wire wrapping has been used to attach the centrepiece and Christi. This intricate method creates an heirloom quality Rosary and allows a Rosary that you can trust not to break over time.
