Description from the seller
Lapis lazuli – Rosary – The Blue of the Heavens – Crucifix of the Our Father – Faith, Grace and Redemption
This Christian rosary is distinguished by the intensity of its blue hues, the richness of its gilded ornaments, and the presence of a finely crafted crucifix, consecrated to the Passion of Christ and to the Our Father prayer.
Composed of 61 round lapis lazuli beads, carefully polished, it reveals a remarkable harmony of tones ranging from deep midnight blue to intense ultramarine, punctuated by lighter nuances and delicate mineral inclusions.
Some beads, of more generous size, display bluish-gray veining and natural variations in appearance, creating a subtle contrast with the beads of a more uniform blue.
The set is enhanced with interspersed golden beads, with surfaces sometimes smooth and faceted, sometimes finely carved with raised motifs. These decorative elements add brightness and depth to the composition, while underscoring the nobility of its colors.
Several oval golden medals, each bearing a Christian cross in relief on a finely striped background, punctuate the rosary. They are accompanied by small ornamental beads with chiselled designs, evoking the traditional ornamentation of devotional jewelry.
In the center of this composition lies a commanding golden crucifix, whose worked structure features slightly flared contours and a finish blending polished and satin surfaces.
The representation of the crucified Christ, executed in relief, shows outstretched arms, a bowed head, and the drapery of the loincloth around the waist. The details of the body and garments emphasize the expressive nature of this portrayal of the Passion.
The originality of this crucifix lies in its background décor, adorned with a religious inscription: “Pai Nosso,” corresponding to the Our Father prayer.
The different passages of this prayer are distributed along the arms of the cross, behind the figure of Christ, and end with the word “Amen.”
This association between the Crucifixion and the fundamental Christian prayer gives the pendant a spirituality that is particularly evocative.
Circumference length: 58 cm
Extension: 17.5 cm
Lapis lazuli: 61 round beads – diameter: 12, 8 and 6 mm
Cross – Crucifix of the Our Father – dimensions: 60 x 36 x 5 mm
Weight: 114.54 g
Carefully handmade.
A presentation box and a pouch will be included.
Note,
In Christian tradition, the crucifix represents the redemptive sacrifice of Christ, divine love, and the hope of salvation.
The Our Father prayer, taught by Jesus to his disciples according to the Gospels, expresses trust in God, the seeking of forgiveness, and deliverance from evil.
Lapis lazuli, valued since antiquity for its deep blue, is traditionally associated with heavenly majesty, wisdom, and spiritual contemplation.
The alliance of intense blue and gilded shine symbolically evokes the meeting between the depth of faith and divine light.
A rosary of character, uniting the elegance of lapis lazuli, the finesse of its ornaments, and the powerful symbolic meaning of a crucifix consecrated to the Passion of Christ and to the sacred Our Father prayer.
