{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-rose-bud-bead-cap-and-dangle","title":"Vintage Bronze Rose Bud Bead Cap and Dangle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Rose Bud Bead Cap and Dangle is a rosebud modelled fully in the round, no more than half an inch across, its petals furled over one another around a closed centre with a small calyx of leaves gathered at the base. Seen from above it is a spiral; seen from the side it is a bud still holding itself shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rose is Mary's flower in Christian art, and the rosary takes its very name from the garland of roses offered to her. A bud carries a meaning of its own, closed rather than opened, something promised rather than something finished, which is why buds turn up so often on devotional pieces made for the young. Each one comes out of the mould a little different, the petal edges catching the antiquing unevenly, so no two shade quite the same way. Small pieces like this are usually what make a finished rosary look considered rather than assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rose bud 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":48943543746745,"sku":"3c3-1520-B","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1520-B.png?v=1787688748","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-rose-bud-bead-cap-and-dangle","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
