More Details
The gold-tone metals of the Our Lady of Fatima Green Rosary add a look of warmth. The Our Father beads are easy to notice during prayer. They are clear and not green like the other beads. They are a little larger than the others. We also wire-wrapped the caps on them.
TIP
You can keep a small cloth (like the ones for cleaning eyeglasses) in the pouch with your rosary. That way, you can give it a quick buff from time to time. Or try storing it with a silica gel pack, chalk, or anti-tarnish paper.
About Gold-Tone Components
Metal Content
We use brass wire for our gold-tone rosaries. Brass is a metal alloy composed of copper and zinc. Although it is a gold colour, it does not contain gold.
We complement our brass wire with plated brass chain and jump rings.
Metal Casting
Metal casting is an ancient process that began as early as 3200 B.C. They poured molten metal into a mold. Once hardened, artisans removed the mold. Then they cleaned the object of any excess material and smoothed out any rough edges. Today, it is the same basic procedure.
Made in Italy
Most of the gold-tone parts we use are die-cast and plated in Italy. Italy has specialized in making rosary components longer than any other country. Crucifixes and center medals usually have the word Italy in raised letters on the back.
Cleaning Tips
We use brass wire for our gold-tone rosaries. It does not have a protective coating like the rest of the rosary because we need to bend and shape it. As a result, the wire will lose its shiny finish with exposure to air, moisture, and the oils in your hands. Click for more cleaning tips.
