About DeAndrea Rosaries
It all comes from a family tradition. I grew up in a Catholic, Italian, and Irish family – in that order!
Now, I pray the Rosary every morning and keep stacks of names nearby so that I can pray for the many people that have come into my life over the years – and sadly, those who have left it.
DeAndrea Rosaries was born from the idea that my daily relationship with the Rosary could affect other people whom I’ve never met by designing and crafting unique Rosaries that could someday be in the hands of people I’ve never met and that their prayers could be helped by the Rosaries that I made for them.
“Creating beautiful heirlooms for people I’ve never met and getting them closer to God by creating them, is what I want to remember years from now.”
How I work
Each Rosary created here is unique and has been inspired by some person, experience, desire, or dream. From the type of stone, shell, wood, or glass used in the beads, to the centerpiece and crucifix that bring each Rosary together to tell a story and become the anchor for our prayers, each piece is hand-picked.
My Specialties
Unique Offerings
Each of the Rosaries created here are one-of-a-kind! You may notice that for each Rosary we offer, there is not an inventory – just a few. Some will be offered just one time and others, we’ll keep making because customers like you find them to be just what they are looking for. Don’t be afraid to ask about customizations to anything you see. Because each piece is made to order, most of the time, your requests can be fulfilled just be asking.
Heirloom Rosaries
I hope that your Rosary will become an heirlooom for your family and new generations. In fact, we will be creating a special “Heirloom Rosary” project in the future that will allow you to help design your own family Rosary! This one was made by transforming the colors of my family’s coat of arms into similar colors of agate, then adding the fleur de lis, which is in the coat of arms as a centerpiece and crucifix. The medal was a finishing touch, celebrating St. Andrew, who was an apostle, martyr, and the source of our family name.
