Vintage White Bronze Celtic Antiquity Rosary Ring
Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze Celtic Antiquity Rosary Ring is the plainest piece in this group and one of the most quietly appealing: a hoop of irregular section, slightly out of round, its surface coarsely pitted and hammered as though it had been forged rather than cast. There is no figure, no symbol and no lettering anywhere on it.
What it offers is the look of a ring pulled from the ground, a shape older than any style, and it belongs to the long tradition of Celtic Christian metalwork in which weight and texture did the work that ornament does elsewhere. Offered as a rosary ring, it is meant to be carried loose in a pocket or held in the hand, where its heft and roughness make it easy to find by touch alone, which is what a prayer counted with the fingers rather than the eyes asks for.
The ring 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
