This incredibly sparkling AB wedding lasso design is new to my family of rosaries!! The traditional Wedding Cord is also known as the Wedding Lasso or a Wedding Lazo. It is used during a Christian Catholic wedding ceremony. A figure-eight shape is placed around the neck areas of the bride & groom after they have made their wedding vows…showing the couple’s love has no beginning or end. The number eight in the Bible is also the number of new beginnings. This Lasso symbolizes a lifetime of unity or the everlasting union of the bride & groom. It also symbolizes the union of two into one in Christ & His Blessed Mother. While this tradition has it’s roots in the Mexican, Filipino & Spanish descent, this tradition is sweeping into wedding ceremonies across the world. It has been welcomed into the wedding ceremonies of Roman Catholic churches throughout the USA in place of the Unity Candle. I created this design using 10mm Swarovski AB Crystals for the Aves & 12mm Swarovski AB Crystals for the Paters. Surrounding each Pater is a pair of Swarovski silver AB Crystal Rondelles & AB Bicone beads. To create the necessary length, I added sterling silver chain between each decade. The rosary also has one 2.25" silver plated crucifix & three silver plated Miraculous Medal centers. I have other center & crucifixes to choose from. Both center & crucifix show beautiful detail & are made in Italy. Each individual loop measures 24" (a circumference of 48" ) plus 11" to main connecting center. So… a total measurement of 35" for each person. The lasso finishes with a center connecting drop of 13" from main center to bottom of crucifix. The sparkle of this wedding lasso is like no other! As was described, each individual loop is a full rosary from beginning prayers to center to all five decades. Joining each individual rosary is a one crucifix, one set of beginning prayers & the first rosary center. The symbolism is complete…two become one in Christ rooted in His Blessed Mother! Your wedding lasso will come to you safely tucked in an organza bag & placed in a silver gift box tied with a ribbon. A laminated prayer card listing all the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary is included to help with your prayers. I will also ship FREE PRIORITY USA MAIL to assure a safe delivery! I look forward to creating for your beautiful wedding ceremony. Thank you for considering my shop for your purchase. Be well…Ann Swarovski Ab Crystal Wedding Lasso in Silver
