Product Details
The Delicate Openwork Rosary Center is about as light as a fitting of this kind can be. Its design turns on a central fleur-shaped ornament with a pair of scrolled volutes curling outward at the shoulders, all of it pierced through, so that the piece reads as line rather than as mass.
Small centers like this one were made for fine rosaries, where a heavier fitting would overwhelm the beads and break the rhythm of the decades. There is no image here and no lettering. The center's whole task is to hold the proportions right, and it does that with a little grace. It also answers well for an old family rosary that has lost its center and wants a replacement in the same delicate register rather than something newer and heavier.
The Delicate Openwork 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
