Queen of the Holy Rosary Cross Necklace | Antique French Replica | Crown of Grace Designs

This listing is for a luxurious & feminine Queen of the Holy Rosary cross necklace. The antique replica religious medal is hand made out of bronze clay in my studio from a rare Catholic treasure. With its French origins, matte gold finish, and reference to Mary and the rosary, it has quickly become a favorite in the Crown of Grace Collection. The openwork chain has delicate rectangular shaped links and is artistically balanced with the symmetry of the cross. I handset grade 5A CZ’s into the design while it is still in clay form and before kiln firing. to the piece while the bronze is still in
clay form before kiln firing. This piece has (1) 3mm gem in the center, and (4) 2mm gems on each arm of the cross. They sparkle like diamonds and add perfect amount of bling. It is a gorgeous piece and will surely become a favorite!

To gauge the size and proportions of this design, see the image of the necklace beside a quarter in the listing photos. A quarter is approximately 1” in diameter for reference.

Each antique medal in my Crown of Grace collection was lovingly searched for according to it’s age, shape, subject matter, and rarity. Many of the medals used during my hand replicating process are over a century old. I reproduce each piece by making a mold, hand pressing small batch bronze clay into the mold, drying, and kiln firing at 1420 degrees in a double carbon process. Each medal is hand wire brushed to give them a matte gold base and polished on the high relief areas to give them a luxurious Baroque light gold finish.

The chains that I use in my designs are hand selected to compliment the medals. They have a double layer of non tarnish matte gold finish for durability and tarnish resistance. In addition, they are nickel, cadmium, & lead free.
