Product Details
The Vintage Sterling Silver Stella Maris Rosary Center holds two zones of relief in a very small space. In the inner roundel the Virgin stands with her hands joined at her breast, a single star burning in rays above her head and shallow waves running across her feet. The outer band is filled with raised six-pointed stars set shoulder to shoulder, so the piece glitters in silver before you have read a word of it.
The legend arching over her reads STELLA MARIS, Star of the Sea, among the oldest and best loved of all the titles given to Mary. The image says exactly what the words say: a light standing steady above dark water for anyone trying to steer by it. Sailors and their families have prayed under that title for centuries, and it remains the natural prayer of anyone in rough passage. At three-quarters of an inch it suits a chaplet or a slender rosary, and it is a fitting center for anyone who prays the Ave Maris Stella.
The Stella Maris 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
