St. Augustine Limited Edition Classic Relic Rosary | 18K Gold & Onyx Black Gold | Sore Eyes, Sore Throats & Recovery from Vice | Bethlehem Olive Wood & Emperor Jasper | 3rd Class Relic

Our Mission: We strive to give the most glory to God by handcrafting the most beautiful devotional images of His Saints, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Angels, and Our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that the veneration of these sacred figures and the display of Holy Sacred Art - including the Holy Trinity, the Holy Ghost, and the Blessed Sacrament -only brings Him further glory. By utilizing various artistic styles, from digitally restored stained glass to classical masterworks and photography of sacred art, we provide unique sacramentals tailored to your personal devotion.

The Classic Line: A Connection to the Nativity

Our Classic Line is centered on the profound spiritual connection between the prayer of the Rosary and the birth of Our Lord. By combining the earthiness of the Holy Land with the beauty of precious stones, we invite you to journey to the heart of the faith.

• Authentic Bethlehem Olive Wood: The defining feature of our Classic Line is the use of genuine Olive Wood for the Hail Mary beads. This wood is imported specifically from Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ. We emphasize Bethlehem over a general "Jerusalem" origin to transport you spiritually to the very site of the Nativity as you pray.

• Premium Accents: While the Hail Mary beads are crafted from the wood of the Holy Land, we maintain our high standards by using 10mm semi-precious stones for the Our Father beads, creating a unique "Precious & Organic" aesthetic.

• Specifications & Fit: These rosaries feature a circumference of approximately 21 inches. Like the Majestic line, these are crafted for traditional handheld prayer and will not fit over the head.

• Traditional Power: Each Classic Rosary is anchored by our proprietary 18K Gold-plated crucifix featuring the original 1741 St. Benedict medal (IHS monogram), preserving the traditional power of this exorcism sacramental.

• Advanced Metallurgy: Our Royal crucifixes utilize high-grade stainless steel and genuine 18K Gold plating - including 18K Rose Gold, 18K Yellow Gold, and specialized 18K Alabaster White, Onyx Black or other color Gold - for a lifetime of durability and a smooth, high-end feel.

A Note on Our Metalwork: To ensure both beauty and structural integrity, we use a tiered plating approach. Our primary sacramentals - the crucifix and centerpiece - feature genuine, heavy 18K Gold or Rose Gold plating via electrolytic deposition. Smaller accent components, such as spacers and bead caps, are crafted from jewelry-grade brass or metal alloys and finished with a coordinating gold-toned coating to match the aesthetic of the main pieces while remaining Nickel and Lead-free.

• The Sensory Experience: To honor the "Odors of Sanctity," each Classic Rosary is presented in a golden jewelry box with a delicate scent of roses and includes a velvet pouch.

• Shipping & Protection: Your high-value sacramental is protected from the moment it leaves our hands. Every Classic Rosary is shipped with full insurance. * US Customers: Enjoy Free Shipping on this item.

  • International Customers: Your shipping rate includes full insurance coverage.

• Limited Edition Status: Each of our rosaries is part of a Limited Edition series. Because we source rare semi-precious stones and proprietary components, these designs may be discontinued once our current stock of materials is exhausted. This ensures that your sacramental remains a rare and unique treasure within the "Domestic Church."

• Artisanal Processing Time: We do not maintain a pre-made inventory of these pieces. Every rosary is hand-built to order with meticulous care. Please allow up to two weeks (14 days) for your order to be processed and crafted before it is shipped. This window ensures that every stone is hand-selected and every connection is securely inspected for a lifetime of prayer.

Care and Handling

Our Royal Rosaries are not waterproof. To protect the high-end 18K gold plating and the glass cabochon centerpiece, please do not submerge in water. If the piece becomes wet, wipe it immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Keep your rosary in the provided velvet pouch when not in use.

Note on Artisan Details: To ensure the highest quality and timely fulfillment, high-quality gold-plated spacers and bead caps may differ slightly in design from the primary photography depending on current supplier availability.

"Did You Know?" | IHS vs. PAX: The Restoration of a Sacred Name

The Holy Name vs. The Benedictine Motto

Many people notice that the crucifixes on our Royal, Majestic, and Classic rosaries look different from the ones found in local Catholic shops. The most significant difference lies at the very top of the St. Benedict medal.

The Modern Version (PAX): Most modern medals (the "Jubilee" version from 1880) feature the word PAX, which is Latin for "Peace." While peace is the beautiful motto of the Benedictine Order, it was not the original design approved by the Papacy for the medal’s use in spiritual warfare.

The Original Version (IHS): Our medals feature the IHS monogram. Derived from the first three letters of the Greek name for Jesus (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ), this monogram has been used since the earliest days of the Church to invoke the power of the Holy Name.

Why It Matters: > When Pope Benedict XIV approved the medal in 1741, he did so with the Name of Jesus (IHS) at its head. In the Rite of Exorcism and in the battle against "lost causes," it is not the abstract concept of "peace" that drives back darkness - it is the sovereign Name of Jesus. By restoring the IHS monogram to our rosaries, we return to the Christ-centered roots of this powerful sacramental, providing you with a "Shield of the Faithful" that is historically accurate and spiritually potent.
