These Rosary parts are solid bronze hand cast from antiques.  They are not recastings of reproductions.  So they retain the details and character of the originals.   They are made in the USA.   Although new, these rosary parts and medals are antiqued with a rich patina that gives them a vintage look. 

These same Rosary Parts are also available in Sterling Silver....and White Bronze is also now in the casting process!.  Contact me for a price quote on Sterling Silver Parts.  Pricing for White Bronze is not yet available.

If you are disappointed with the rising cost of Sterling Silver rosaries parts, you may be happy to know that I will soon be offering these same antique reproduction rosary parts in White bronze.  White bronze is an alloy consisting of a combination of copper, tin, and zinc.  It is a very strong metal that creates great detail in the finished piece.   The casters are working on the first pieces now.  I am so excited!  I can't say exactly when they will be here.  But I am hoping they will arrive by the end of March!

I am surprised at Ebay sellers and other internet vendors who are selling  reproduction medals and advertising them as 'Antique'.   This is a misrepresentation when they do not clearly state that they are 'reproductions'.  If you have to search for the fine print to find the truth, it is misleading to the buyer. Beware of such vendors when buying rosaries, beads or rosary parts.

Also be aware that there are several vendors who are selling recastings of reproduction parts.  In other words, they are taking advantage of the work of the reproduction medal caster who collected antique medals and made the molds.  The recasts of the recasts, lack the quality and detail of the original reproductions.  It is a dishonest practice, and one that should be discouraged.  

All my medals are original castings of antique medals and have the highest detail and quality.
