This apatite Rosary has been flashed in gold, two beautiful colors together o one bead. It's a fairly new process and rapidly gaining popularity. These beads are 10mm, more substantial than traditional 6-8mm sizing, and their size shows off the gold flash beautifully.

An exceptional antique French Sacred Heart locket, ex voto pendant, 19th century. Measuring approximately 6.5 x 3.5 x 2 cm or about 2.5 x 1.3 x 0.7 inches this magnificent flaming Sacred Heart is made of brass. Its elegance and mystery are breathtakingly beautiful as it can hold inside a precious personal item close to ones heart. On the front side of the heart are engraved the initials of the Virgin Mary "ND" [standing for Notre Dame or Our Lady], making this the Sacred Heart of Mary. The initials adorned with a gorgeous crown with stars are surrounded with a garland of leaves. This Sacred Heart is in good and solid antique condition with signs of ageing that in my opinion only add to its true beauty and timeworn splendour today. This could be seen in a minor dents as well as the marks made by the oxidation of the copper in brass creating in a process a fantastic blue/green patina. It is exactly as I found it in the city of Avignon in the South of France. It opens easily, allowing a special item to be placed inside for safekeeping. Please refer to the images! A mesmerising and remarkable French treasure of astonishing beauty and meaning!

An Angel (Detail) with the Prophet Ezekiel Michelangelo 16th Century. 

The prophet Ezekiel with an angel by MICHEL-ANGE - (detail) (Sistine Chapel) 1510. The famous ceiling of the Sistine Chapel that we know we chat in 1952, the writer Rene Huyghe came back on this undertaking, commissioned by Pope Julius II, and that Michelangelo began painting in 1508. The chapel consists of a unique rectangular room 40 m long, 13 m wide and 21 m high (21/13 = 1.61 ... is the golden ratio), with a barrel vault and 12 arched windows. A defensive outer gallery ensured the safety of the building. It is separated in two by a marble partition which delimits the part reserved for the clergy and that accessible to the faithful. The Sistine Chapel is one of the most reproduced artistic works in the world. The Vatican earns money through copyright and image rights. and right to visit, Entering this vast impressionable room of grandeur and beauty all around! you look up there is grandiose! I can only add that having been there some time ago.

I used a sanding, 2 polish a crackle, patina, to bring out the beauty of the work, and varnish of finishes to protect the painting. It is not mandatory to frame the beauty of this rare piece will admire your wall! and you will be envious !!! If you do not live in France contact me, I could always satisfy you.

✧ My first pilgrimage to Lourdes ✧ 

This photo was taken when I entered the Sanctuary for the first time 2 years ago. It was a very strong moment. Not because I was hoping for a physical miracle but because I felt like a child returning to God's arms. I had been asleep for so many years, and now here I am, like the prodigal son returning to his Father's arms (Luke 15: 11-32). | photo exvotodei
