More Details

The Redline Marble Rosary has a wire-wrapped construction. Each marble bead has unique colouring and feels smooth to the touch. The Our Father beads are larger and noticeable even with eyes closed. The Crucifix and medal are from a factory that closed several years ago. We still have some in stock.

TIP: Wire-wrapped rosaries will not come unhooked.  The design will sometimes result in a temporary kink.  There are two ways to resolve it: a gentle shake; or lifting and turning the section by hand.

Handmade Catholic items by Our Lady of Grace Rosaries are designed to be cherished and built to endure.

Wire-Wrapping: Re-Purposing an Ancient Skill

An Ancient Skill

Archeological evidence of wire wrapping is as early as ancient Egyptian times.  Tombs of ancient Pharaohs contain items with wire-wrapped detailing.

In recent years, artisans have re-purposed this ancient skill to make rosaries.  The photo shows a sample of our wire wrapping.

Pioneer of Wire-Wrapped Rosaries

A pioneer of this idea was Gayle Robertson-Murphy (1959-2016). She began making wire-wrapped rosaries in Hopedale, Massachusetts, in the 1990s. Gayle created wire-wrapped rosaries with gemstones and prominent Our Father beads. These innovative rosaries (as shown in the photo) were the first of their kind. 

Queen of Peace Rosaries

Gayle launched the Queen of Peace Rosaries website in August 1999.  (At that point, it was 16 years since the inception of the internet.)  She sold a variety of heirloom quality gemstone rosaries. The photo features her original bronze and rutilated quartz rosary.  CLICK to read more.
