A frame of thin curved bars opens on either side of a small shield and closes above it in a cross-shaped finial. On the front of the shield sits a full heart, encircled by a band of thorns with flame breaking at its crest, cast in soft relief against a stippled ground. The other face carries a veiled head in profile against a plain nimbus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat pairing is deliberate. The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as it spread from seventeenth-century France, was never far from his mother, and centers of this kind were often given one face each: the heart that was pierced, and the woman whose own heart a sword would pass through. The thorns and the flame say together what the devotion holds together, a love that suffers and a love that burns.\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":48943517794489,"sku":"3c3-296-B","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-296-B.png?v=1787688737","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-sacred-heart-openwork-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
