Part Restock & New Stuff!

Hey Everyone!

Parts arrived from Italy this week.  Woo Hoo!!  I have restocked many of the basic centerpieces like the Miraculous medal, Lourdes & Fatima water centers and Mary with Baby Jesus.  I have also restocked my traditional angular crucifix, relic crucifix, large filigree among a few others.  The supplier sent me the stamped version of the tear drop sunburst crucifix instead of the one with the separately attached Corpus, so I will be taking new pictures and adding that one as an option to the existing listing until the few of the old style are sold out.  OK?  I also have a new Fatima center with dirt from Fatima instead of water, a larger Miraculous medal and a new simple crucifix that will be added soon.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Keep checking back over the next week for the new additions.

Take care,

New Rosary Part Listing & Labeling

Hi Everyone!

Recently I was made aware of some confusion about the labeling of my Italian rosary parts.  For years the information I’ve had came directly from the manufacturers or my suppliers, but now I see that for those who specialize in jewelry and not rosaries, the labeling can be a bit confusing.

Here are the basics.  Most Italian rosary parts are made from zamak which is a mix of metals including zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper, but the exact recipe can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.  For example, two of my suppliers have mentioned including small amounts of silver either as a “flash” plating or as a part of their general recipe. It seems like every manufacturer does something different and I’ve never paid to have any of my parts tested to see for sure who is doing what. 🙂

The one thing I know for sure is that NONE of my Italian rosary parts are plated with sterling silver or 14k gold.  Those precious metals are very, very expensive and would raise the cost substantially.  Affordability, durability and variety are what make Italian rosary parts so popular, but sterling silver or 14K gold they are not.

This recent confusion is why I’ve decided to change the wording in my store from silver plate and gold plate (for Italian parts), to silver and gold toned base metal.  The parts you’ve loved for years are still the same.  It’s just the labeling that is changing.

In the 17 years I’ve been in business I’ve never had this issue come up before, but I think it’s a good idea to make the changes in order to avoid any other confusion in the future. 🙂

As you know, I am currently in the process of retaking pictures, and doing other edits as part of the new store layout, so this change will be a part of that process. I’m not sure how long it will take, but hopefully in the next couple of months or so I can get the website updated.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. OK?

Thank you for your patience during all of this new website and update stuff!  It is truly appreciated!

White Rhodium Lily Set Back In Stock!!

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick note to let you all know that my white rhodium lily set that had been discontinued by the manufacturer is now back in stock.  I was able to negotiate a decent deal with them to make more for me.  YAY!!

Discontinued Item: Holy Spirit Crucifix

Hi Everyone!  I have decided to discontinue my Holy Spirit crucifix.  Unfortunately, every order received from the manufacturer included a significant number of damaged items. The losses became to much to cover on my own and raising the prices to cover the extra cost didn’t seem right considering how fragile this particular cross is. I apologize for any inconvenience.

 

Clearance Prices Lowered!

Hey Everyone!

I just finished lowering the prices in my clearance section.  Once the gold plate parts are gone there won’t be any more for a while, so now is the time to buy!  Here are a few of the items now on sale!

 

Heart Tipped Crucifix Back Soon!

Hi Everyone!!  I just wanted to do a quick post about my heart tipped crucifix.  It had been discontinued by my supplier, but they have allowed me to make a special purchase of 250 pieces.  They are in production now and we should have them in 6-8 weeks or so.  So check back then for more inventory. 🙂

P.S.  The open floral Miraculous is on backorder and should be back in stock soon too.

Old Cancer Sets Leaving Soon!

Hi All,

Just a quick heads up to let you know that my old pewter cancer sets will be retired as of January.  If you want a few sets before they are gone, please let me know.  All left over stock I have will be donated to charity to make room for the new stuff coming. 🙂

New Centerpiece and Cross Added!

Hey Everyone!

I just added 2 new unique Italian silver plate rosary parts to the online store. One is a double sided Holy Spirit/Holy Family center and the other is a very unique red enamel Infinity Cross.  Come by and check them out!! 

New Clearance Section

To those of you who know me, you know that every once in a while I put items on clearance that are either discontinued or that I will no longer carry.  We’ll, it’s that time again! 🙂  Here is a list of the current items that I am clearing out to make room for other inventory.  Once they are gone, there will be no more, but as in the past, if there are items that you use regularly I should still be able to request a special order for you, but the purchase will have to be in mass.  OK?  As always if you have questions, please let me know.
