Santa Fe Artisan - SHANE CASIAS - Lapis Beaded- Hand Made 10 mm 925 Bead Accents- Sterling Miraculous Holy Mother - Sacred Heart Cross- 41-1/4" Long Santa Fe Rosary
A PERSONAL NOTE:
Known for his "All things New Mexico", Shane's culturally strong New Mexico roots will always be reflected in his work, where he lives & breathes the spiritual art that is known to Santa Fe & throughout the state & it's no wonder why his religious art isn't so high in demand at our yearly Spanish Market event..Shane is widely known for his Sacred Heart-Our Lady jewelry, to his New Mexico Zia Jewelry but then turn around & give us the best skull jewelry you'll ever lay your eyes on! He designs with both Men & women in mind,by offering the most feminine to the most masculine!
THE ROSARY:
Called the "Santa Fe Rosary", this is made in a XXX long 41" length where the Lapis beaded rosary is accented with hand made sterling bench beads. The 5-1/4” long drop has a sterling Miraculous Holy Mother medallion & then finalizing the design is one of Shane’s most popular designed crosses that has a Sacred Heart center. This is made long enough where you'll just slip it over the head ..
If you appreciate what the hands of artisans do,then you'll definitely appreciate this necklace! Being from the “Old School” where everything is still done by hand, this is an artist who would rather spend the time making it himself instead of buying ‘already made’ materials to make production go faster..
From hand drilling each & every one of the 8 mm sized Lapis beads that are then connected one by one with sterling wire, to making all the jump rings that connect one wire connector to the other, this is a perfect example of what you're going to get from Shane! (This is reflected in the price) Yes, it’s a time consuming process but this is why we at Plata de Santa Fe Jewelry love him!!
So whether you want to bring or wear this to church or possibly wear it with your favorite outfit,you’l be wearing a necklace made by one of Santa Fe’s own, who gives you all the body, soul & heart of New Mexico!
