Hematite rosary, 'Hope'

Combining lustrous sterling silver with beads of hematite, Julio Chocano Gonz�lez fashions a beautiful rosary. Traditionally used by Roman Catholics, the rosary is a form of prayer; each bead represents a "Hail Mary, " repeated fifteen times in a decade, or group of ten. Between each decade, the "Our Father" is prayed and a mystery of the faith is contemplated. The word comes from the Latin rosarius, which means "a garland of roses." This beautiful piece is a manifestation of Peru's religious devotion. It arrives in a blue flannel jewelry pouch. 0.925 rating silver
