Everyone should have their very own birthstone rosary to prayerfully ask for Mother Mary's blessings. The translucent colored beads on this rosary are made of glass and are a soothing peridot color, unique to the birthstone month of August. The center piece contains an elegant silver metal image of Mary and a lovely crucifix marks the beginning of the rosary. This exceptional August birthstone rosary would make an excellent First Communion, Confirmation, RCIA initiation, or birthday present for the devout Catholics in your life who were born in August. Like most of the quality rosaries you can buy at St. Patrick's Guild, our August birthstone rosary comes in a clam-shell box for your gift wrapping convenience.
