Lil Red Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 [quote name='fides' Jack' timestamp='1323905006' post='2351382'] The medals are fine in themselves, but these pieces are obviously there to look aesthetically pleasing, and in that sense, then no, they are not appropriate. People should not wear religious items to be noticed. [/quote] lol wut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like if you wear a Catholic t-shirt.... ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not why I wear it though so perhaps that is the difference? But yes, how would wearing one of these necklaces be much different than a Catholic T-shirt??

CatherineM Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I used to take broken costume jewelry and make rosaries out of them, kind of this in reverse. My very devoutly Baptist Grandmother worked in the jewelry department of a big department store, so she got lots of those things for me to play with. My parents spent my childhood trying to find things to keep me occupied. I prefer to fix rosaries if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I always get uncomfortable with using a rosary for something other than being a rosary. I don't know if there's anything wrong with it, but I wouldn't wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Wurster Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I make religious jewelry out of broken rosaries and other vintage religious jewelry and findings with the hope it will bring the faithful comfort and joy when they wear it. I also hope that it will bring the wearer who is not religious closer to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I pray over each broken rosary I use that such would be the case. I also hope that the faithful feels empowered by wearing religious jewelry that I, or anyone else, makes. Is this wrong? You can look at my jewelry and see if you think it's not appropriate as jewelry at www.etsy.com/shop/Celestialbling Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I use recycled centres and crucifix’s from broken rosaries to make new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Wurster Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 @CatherineM I fix a lot of the broken rosaries that I get. Some, unfortunately, are too broken so I turn the parts into jewelry. I have to admit that I have a huge collection of gorgeous rosaries, most are ones I fixed- some from my childhood and some passed down as well. Do you sell the rosaries you fix? I would love to see some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
