"Et Corde" means Open Heart in latin. I started making rosaries because I wanted to design heirloom rosaries that are beautiful and give inspiration in prayer. I've always loved intricate and ornate things and places meant for God. I love to see old churches built on grand scales with beautiful detail. These inspire me and give me hope and increased faith. I feel like rosaries and sacramentals should also be this way.

I create rosaries, bracelets and necklaces using the wire wrap technique. Designing jewelry this way helps ensure that they last. Wire wrapping is a time consuming method where each bead is hand wire wrapped on two sides.

I use antique reproduction centerpieces, crucifixes and medals. The history that is apart of these antique reproduction medals is so beautiful and interesting. In my listings, I try to include the history and/or prayers that go with the piece. Most of my pieces are created in sterling silver and bronze. I use bronze more than silver because of the increasing cost in precious medals and want my heirloom pieces to be affordable.

I take great effort in selecting high quality gemstones for use in my rosary design. I use 18 to 20 gauge wire that is strong and durable. I guarantee my work. If you ever experience a break, I will happily repair it at no cost and pay shipping costs.

It is my hope that my pieces can be an heirloom that can be passed down in your family.
