Hello all, Just joined as I am drawn to these little wonders that keep the hand (and mind?) busy. I learned in a beading/wire class to do a 'rosary turn' with...
I've seen that particular usage on jewelry that dates back to the Thetford treasure, which is 4th century Romano-Britain. Not sure of usage on rosaries though....

I think my spam blocker zapped the message to which this is a reply. What was the question on silk? I might be able to help. ... Pax Christi, Sydney...
I am thinking of creating a mid-fourteenth century craftsman persona, and I was wondering what levels of society would use/buy silk for paternosters. I know...
Was written: I'd like to make a second set for 'best' without being anachronistic (within my anachronism), perhaps silk and bone beads. I have learned to...

... To some degree, I try to suit the material of my cord to the material of the beads -- if the rosary I am making is wood or bone, I tend to use hemp. If my...
I want to make a Big Red Rosary with REAL red coral and REAL ivory. I've located a source for antique ivory, but it's difficult to find the red coral. I've...

You might also want to look for Apple Coral. It's a slightly darker red than true red coral (more brick red). And it's not as expensive. Or at least, it wasn't...
Thank you Elizabeth. I found apple coral beads but they were twice the price of South Sea red coral beads! The Italian red coral I found is already pricey...
I did a little bit more searching and settled with Trade Roots, a gem & mineral specimen company. If any of you are thinking of making a Big Red Rosary you...

... Yes, most people I've made (historical) rosaries for have either fallen on my (dyed) coral, drooling, or they've looked grave and said "Yes, it's very...
Thanks Chris! I am personally more drawn to the simple myself, but not for 'reverse ostentation' purposes <g>. Some of my ancestor were yeomen and crafts like...
