LINKS: Each link is always individually wire-wrapped and will never pull apart. Optional: All our rosaries can now also be made with a small jump ring inbetween each link ( Easy Flow Rosary). This will make the rosary handle very nicely without ever twisting or kinking onto itself. We found this to be a wonderful feature which is only found in handmade rosaries. This will add about 5-6" to the overal lenght of the rosary, and therefor this as an add-on option.
MEDALLION: The Center medallion, was inspired by the unique artwork of Dietrich Varez, one of the most beloved artists in Hawaii. He worked with the well known nun from Honolulu and the Catholic Church to create the wonderful artwork depicting Saint Damien and Saint Marianne which today can be found at most Catholic Church offices throughout the islands. We colaborated with Dietrich, and combined the images of two of his prints to feature Saint Damien and Saint Marianne next to each other on one special medallion on which they are both depicted helping leper patients on Molokai.
CRUCIFIX: The crucifix was designed by us specifically for our own rosaries. It depicts Christ with a Kukui Blossoms background. Kukui has a special meaning of "Light and Truth" in Hawaii, which made it a perfect image to include in the crucifix design. Additionally, Kukui is also the official tree of the State of Hawaii, and the Kukui Blossom itself is the flower of Molokai, the home of Saint Damien and St. Marianne.
