Because the letters are woven together, the piece carries its devotion without needing a word of legend, which is part of why the design outlasted so many others and turns up on rosaries from one century to the next. White bronze gives it a cool, silvery tone that shows the piercing to advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crowned Marian Monogram 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":48943626485945,"sku":"3c3-1107-WB","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1107-WB.png?v=1787688777","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-white-bronze-crowned-marian-monogram-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
