Purple/Silver & Black/Silver Rosary Set

Item:  Matching Rosary Set (big rosary)
Colors: Purple, Black, Silver
Materials:  crystals, faux pearls


Another project I just recently finished is a rosary set.  Mitchie will give these matching rosaries to her future MIL (mother-in-law) and FIL (father-in-law) as gifts for the holidays.  Colors she wanted were purple-silver and black-silver.  And so I came up with these rosaries (photos below).  Mix of faux pearls & crystals to have different textures, and silver trinkets were used to accentuate the beads so as to make the main colors (purple & black) pop out.  Used single color for the decade beads & silver for the "Our Father" beads to emphasize the rosary pattern.


Crystals and Beads offers these matching rosaries customize-able to the colors you want to reflect your personality or that of the person it will be given to.  This type of rosary is not like the usual size of a personal pocket rosary; it's bigger since the beads/crystals used are larger in size.  These are perfect gifts ♥ 


Btw, these rosaries below are going international...woot woot! Mitchie's sending them to her future in-laws who are based in the States :)

Red & Silver Wedding Cord

Item: wedding cord (Sulit- Quijano Nuptial, February 2012
Motif:   Red & Silver
Materials:  crystals, faux pearl, silver trinkets



One of my recent projects is a wedding cord for an office mate (Christine) who's getting married early next year (February).  Seeing the paraphernalia I made for Kat's (also an office mate) wedding on her blog - boutonnieres, wedding cord, beaded pens, etc-  she decided to have me make a wedding cord for her own wedding.  Red & silver is the wedding motif. Materials used on the cord were red crystals, red faux pearls, silver crystals & silver trinkets.  The centerpiece, which unites the 2 loops, is a flower that matches their wedding colors - silver base, red petals w/ stone accents.

Crystals and Beads offers customized wedding/unity cord that matches your wedding theme and/or wedding motif.  To make it more personalized, each cord is incorporated with the couple's initials.  Of course, you are welcome to give your own ideas if you have a specific design in mind for your wedding cord.

Thinking of a nice gift for marrying friends? Why not offer to give them a personalized unity cord for their wedding day?   I myself gave my friend - who's getting married next year-  a wedding cord which they will use on their special day.  After the wedding, the couple will surely keep the wedding cord & treasure it forever as it became a symbol of their unity as husband & wife.  Won't you be glad to know that your wedding gift would surely be treasured?  Nice, right? ♥

C & M = the couple's initials = Christine & Moe

Personal Pocket Rosary

Crystal and Beads also offers personal pocket rosaries aside from the matching/ wedding rosaries that are kinda big for someone to carry anywhere. It's a five decade rosary which contains five groups of ten beads (a decade), with additional large beads before each decade. For catholic couples,  these can also be your wedding favors to your attending guests.  
These pocket rosaries can also be a nice gift to friends or kins.  Of course, colors can be customized to match your motif/theme or the personality of the person whom you'll give it to.

Souvenir Bracelets

Thinking of a nice souvenir/favor to give to your guests or friends?  
something that won't be just a dust catcher later on & not the usual "display"? 
give them a nice bracelet that they can use ♥

Recently, a friend of mine had her daughter baptized.  Most of us -- her friends -- were asked to be Mia's ninangs & ninongs. To help out our friend, a few of us shouldered some of the things needed for the baptism of our inaanak -- cake, baptismal dress, invitation & souvenirs.  Me & another friend, shouldered the favors for the ninangs & ninongs.  Since all the godmothers & godfathers are youngsters (& the ninangs are kikays), we decided on souvenir bracelets ♥.  We wanted something simple yet pretty, so we decided on these designs (see below photos).  And so I made these pretty bracelets :)  And to make it more personalized, I incorporated the baby's name on the bracelets - MIA.  And also added a little cross to each, so as to represent baby Mia's baptism.

Crystals and Beads can make souvenir bracelets for you!  If you already have the design/s that you want for the bracelets, of course we'll try our best to make it happen :)  You are always welcome to share your ideas, & we're here to make those great ideas into a work of art ♥
