LATIN
AMERICAN PARTS
The Spanish
influence is strong. When the explorers came from Spain, they brought
Priests along with rosaries, crosses, statues and pictures to encourage
the people to come to the True God. Many of the crucifixes given to the
indigenous people were copied in a style now called Spanish Colonial. A
primitive mix of the faith of the Priests and of their own influences.
This developed a wonderful folk art, especially in Peru. See our Guadalupe
pieces!

GIVING 100s of
OLD PARTS NEW LIFE
The Rosary Workshop
is adding new items for rosary makers all the time. Our specialty is to
restore old, vintage and antique religious medals, crucifixes and rosary
centers by casting them in sterling silver and solid bronze. Each piece
is hand cast and hand finished. It is then antiqued to restore the original
patina given by age. Once this is completed, it is hand polished.

ADDING ITEMS ALL
THE TIME
Whenever we
find a rare beauty, we check to make sure it is in public domain or does
not hold a copyright. Items we purchase come from all over the world, mainly
Europe and the UK. We find them in flea markets and little antique
shops, even on ebay! Some date back to the 6th century.

PARTS CATALOGS
ARE PRINTABLE
We are unable
to keep up with changes in this catalog so do not have a paper catalog
- but encourage you to print off the PC catalogs of your choice for your
own reference. When ever a new item is added or there is a price
change, the date in the upper left corner will be changed.
