Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze Scallop Shell Rosary Center is cut to the shape of a single ribbed shell, its flutes fanning out from a hinge at the top where a small fleur-de-lis is laid across. It is a sculptural, quiet thing, with no figure on it at all. The ribs are deeply cut, so the shell keeps its shape and its shadow even at this small scale.
The scallop is the badge of St. James and of Santiago de Compostela, carried home by pilgrims who had walked to his shrine and still painted along the Camino today. Set at the join of the beads it makes a quiet claim: that the rosary is itself a road, walked one step and one Ave at a time. It suits a pilgrim, a traveller, or anyone who has made the Camino or hopes to.
The rosary center was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
