Bead Swarovski crystal rosary

Rosary beads are made of many different materials: wood, crystal, semi-precious stones and mother of pearl, just to name a few. They can be as individual as the people who pray with them. Some crystal rosary beads are made of Swarovski crystal. This firm has been manufacturing crystal for one hundred years, and the Swarovski name is synonymous with fine crystal creations. Crystal is a wonderful way to personalize a gift of rosary beads because each type of crystal has a different history and meaning. Amethyst, for instance, a pale purple to violet stone, was used by Jewish priests and Romans as a symbol of power, while Egyptians used it as a healing stone. Egyptians also carried amethyst while traveling, believing it kept them safe from surprise attacks and treachery. An amethyst Swarovski rosary might be given to a friend or family member who frequently travels. Amethyst is also credited with curing insomnia and inducing pleasant dreams when placed under the pillow. The Greeks believed amethyst kept people from overindulgence and inlaid their goblets with it. Finally, amethyst is the stone of a Catholic bishop's ring and is worn by those seeking greater intuition.
Adventurine Swarovski crystal rosary beads can be green, blue or red. Adventurine is a dense quartz stone containing mica crystals which give these Swarovski rosary beads a metallic glow. Ancient Tibetans believed adventurine increased visionary powers and used the crystal for a statues' eyes. Adventurine is also credited for increasing your perception and your luck. An adventurine Swarovski rosary might be given to someone who has been dealing with misfortune.
Malachite Swarovski crystal rosary beads are a bright green, a color so pretty that the ancient Egyptians used it for eye shadow. Malachite is thought to be a powerful stone of protection and an enhancer of personal powers. It can protect children from bad dreams and give them emotional security, making malachite rosary beads a fitting gift for a child's baptism or First Communion. Malachite is also attributed with the power to promote inner peace and hope and, in business, to ward off bad business associations.
Rosary beads made with Swarovski crystal are a lasting and personal gift appropriate for many occasions. Each many-faceted bead shines with the quality that has earned Swarovski its name and the rosary itself will become a treasured gift to any person that receives it.
