Mary's Shield Rosary

"Under your protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God." Introducing Mary's Shield Rosary, a handcrafted instrument of devotion designed to remind the faithful of the Blessed Virgin's protective mantle. This piece marries the grounding strength of dark Tiger Ebony with the mystical, protective light of Blue Flash Labradorite, creating a visual metaphor for Mary's grace breaking through the darkness of the world. While the centerpiece honors St. Michael the Archangel, the ultimate defender, the soul of this rosary belongs to Mary. The deep, unwaxed wood represents the steadfastness of the faithful, while the striking blue flashes in the Labradorite symbolize the sudden, brilliant light of her intercession. Strung on rugged tan paracord, this rosary is built to be a reliable companion for daily prayer and spiritual armor. Materials & Construction: - Hail Mary Beads: 8mm Unwaxed Tiger Ebony Wood. Dark, rich, and textured with a natural matte finish, offering a grounded feel in the hand. - Our Father Beads: 8mm Genuine Blue Flash Labradorite. A dark stone that reveals striking iridescent blue and green flashes, representing the light of Mary's protection. - Centerpiece: St. Michael the Archangel medal. Crafted from a safe, zinc-based alloy (lead, nickel, and cadmium-free) with a polished bronze-tone finish. - Crucifix: Approx. 1.5-2 inches detailed Fatima crucifix. - Cord: High-quality tan micro paracord (approx. 95 lb tensile strength), chosen for its durability and rugged reliability. - Accents: Copper-tone spacers on the Our Father beads, adding a warm, human touch to the cool blues and dark woods. Quality: Built for Daily Use: Designed to withstand the rhythm of daily prayer. The high-tensile paracord ensures this rosary remains intact through years of devotion. Handmade Uniqueness: Each piece is individually crafted. Slight variations in bead spacing, knot placement, and total length are natural characteristics of handmade artistry, making every "Shield" unique. Care Instructions: Wood: Avoid prolonged water exposure to maintain the natural texture of the unwaxed Tiger Ebony. Stone: Labradorite has moderate durability (6-6.5 Mohs); avoid hard impacts to prevent chipping. Metal: The silver-tone finish may develop a natural patina over time. Clean gently with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Storage: Keep in a soft pouch when not in use to protect the beads and finish. Via María Co. ❤️‍🔥🌹
