{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-french-rosary-center-with-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze French Rosary Center with Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze French Rosary Center with Crucifix is half an inch of French devotional design: a plain Latin cross rising between a pair of scrolled volutes, acanthus curling outward at the shoulders and a shell spreading at the base. The cross is left unornamented, so it stands clear of everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vocabulary is eighteenth-century French — the double volute, the shell, the acanthus — carried down into nineteenth-century rosary work and reduced until it would sit between two beads without crowding them. There is no lettering on the piece. A center like this asks nothing of the eye and gives the fingers something to find in the middle of the prayer, which is exactly what a center is for. It belongs on a rosary strung in an older style, where a stamped modern center would look out of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943524937913,"sku":"3c3-216-B","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-216-B.png?v=1787688742","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-french-rosary-center-with-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
