Anglican Rosary Prayer Beads, Turquoise & Silver

Here is a handmade Anglican rosary, also commonly known as a Protestant or Christian rosary, made with lovely turquoise howlite beads and an ornate silver pewter cross.

I've used 8mm turquoise howlite beads for the loop, and slightly larger 10mm rounds for the cruciform beads. The Talavera cross is beautifully detailed, with the same pattern engraved on the reverse side.

The Anglican rosary is made up of thirty-three beads representing the years of Christ's life, divided into four groups of seven called weeks. Between each week is a single bead called a cruciform bead. The 33rd bead is the invitatory bead, a place to begin the prayer time and a cross completes the set.

Length: approx 32cm from center back to end of the cross.
Cross: 2.5cm x 2.25cm

The rosary comes in a handmade (by me) lined cotton pouch to keep it in, along with a pamphlet explaining a bit about the layout of the beads and some suggestions on how to use them.

This Anglican rosary is made with care and joy right here in New Zealand. It is well made to last for years of prayer and is suitable for personal use, or would make a thoughtful gift or addition to a collection.
