Our Lady of Lourdes Pearl Rosary

Luminous Legacies:

The Our Lady of Lourdes Rosary is deeply inspired by the miraculous apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France. In 1858, the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in the grotto of Massabielle. Over the course of 18 apparitions, Mary revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception and called for prayer and penance. The spring that Bernadette discovered during these visions became a source of numerous miraculous healings, drawing millions of pilgrims to Lourdes each year. This rosary is a tribute to those sacred events, designed to evoke the grace and beauty of Our Lady's presence.

Hail Mary beads are crafted from white mother of pearl, symbolizing the purity and grace of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Each Our Father bead features custom handcrafted little blue flower glass beads, reflecting the blue girdle worn by Mary during her appearances to Bernadette Soubirous. At the center of this rosary is a gold-plated Madonna medallion, serving as a reminder of the divine presence and maternal love of Mary. The rosary is completed with a gold-plated crucifix, which calls to mind the sacrifice and redemption brought forth by Jesus Christ.

This rosary invites you to meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, fostering a deeper connection with the Blessed Virgin and a more profound spiritual experience. It not only provides a beautiful tool for prayer but also a tangible connection to the sacred site of Lourdes, renowned for its miraculous healings and spiritual significance. This rosary serves as a daily reminder of Mary’s enduring love and intercession, offering comfort and strength in times of need.

Materials & Care

Gold Filled:

Gold-filled is made by bonding a layer of 14- or 12-karat gold to a brass core, creating a tarnish-resistant surface with only gold visible. The metals are fused using heat and pressure and then shaped to specific sizes. The gold content is 5% by weight, and this type of metal cannot be cast. Gold filled has a much thicker layer of gold over the base metal compare to gold plated.

Sterling Silver:

Sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining portion typically being copper, added to enhance the silver's strength. Recognized as a precious metal, sterling silver is prone to tarnishing, a natural chemical reaction that happens when silver comes into contact with air. Fortunately, this tarnishing can be easily reversed.

Argentium:

While Sterling silver is an alloy with 92.5% silver and 7.5% usually copper. In contrast, Argentium silver has more pure silver (93.5% or 96%) and includes germanium. Argentium is more durable, has a higher melting point, and is easier to work with than sterling silver. Additionally, Argentium is significantly more resistant to tarnishing, being seven times more tarnish-resistant than sterling silver.

Gold Plated:

Gold plated involves electroplating a thin layer of gold over a base metal like brass or copper. There's no set standard for the karat weight or thickness of the gold layer in gold plated items. The color of the gold can vary depending on its karat weight; for example, 14k gold tends to have a lighter yellow hue, while 18k gold usually appears with a darker yellow color.

*All of our metal materials come from certified sellers in the USA.

Care and Maintenance for Your Rosary:
  • Handle your rosary gently to prevent damage to the beads or links.
  • Store it in a safe, dry place when not in use to protect it, such as in a TLB pouch or box.
  • Clean the rosary periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
  • Avoid exposing the rosary to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
  • It's still a good practice to give your rosary some rest and ensure it's stored safely after use.
