Vintage Bronze Lacy Sacred Heart Rosary Center
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Lacy Sacred Heart Rosary Center is a shield of openwork scroll and vine, pierced and dotted throughout so that light passes clean through it. A heart sits at the middle with a flame-like spray rising from its top, and leafy scrolls and small lily forms crowd the frame around it.
The heart at the center is the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the flame rising from it is the old shorthand for a love that does not cool. Filigree of this delicacy was the specialty of the great Continental medal houses, where scrollwork was pierced and finished by hand. It is the sort of center that makes an heirloom rosary look finished rather than merely assembled, and the piercing lets the color of a shirt or a jacket show through from behind, so the whole thing lifts rather than sits.
This 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
