{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-scrolled-openwork-rosary-center","title":"Vintage Bronze Scrolled Openwork Rosary Center","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Scrolled Openwork Rosary Center is made of nothing but scrollwork. Three open lobes sweep across the top, curled tendrils fill the middle, and a scrolled point closes the bottom, the metal thin and the piercings wide enough that it reads almost as a line drawing against clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCenters of this kind were made for rosaries where the beads themselves carried the interest and the join simply had to be graceful. It is the hinge of the whole strand, the place the fingers find when one set of mysteries ends and the next begins, and there is something right about leaving it wordless. Rosaries were repaired and rebuilt across a lifetime, and a plain center like this one moved easily from one strand to the next. With no image and no lettering, it suits beads of any colour or stone, and its loose, confident scrolling belongs to nineteenth-century European work.\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":48943428337849,"sku":"3c3-793-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-793-B.png?v=1787688711","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-scrolled-openwork-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
