"The Visitation"
"The Second Joyful Mystery of the Rosary,
the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth"
Charm / Pendant
by
Sue Kouma Johnson
Mary, having heard at the Annunciation that Elizabeth was six months pregnant, left her home to visit her. Upon Mary’s arrival, the baby in Elizabeth’s womb, John the Baptist, was stirred by the presence of his Lord, and Elizabeth prophesied, her words forming part of the Hail Mary prayer. In response to Elizabeth, Mary pronounced the "Magnificat" which begins with these words: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” She remained with Elizabeth for about three months.
The original painting was done with watercolor, markers, and colored pencils on paper. I show the print so you can get a better idea of the image. These charms have been favored by Magnificat groups. This is nice on a pendant necklace, both sizes, and the smaller one works on a charm bracelet. Good for a Confirmation or Christmas gift.
handmade frame with lead-free solder
glass front and back
the same image, front and back
approx dimensions of charm 5/8" x 3/4" or 3/4" x 1"
I always gift wrap my charms in pretty colored tissue, netting, and a bow, as shown, and include a holy card of Pope Francis. Let me know if you would like a gift card and a small note, I can include that for you, no extra charge. Also, if you would like a ball chain necklace included to make a more complete gift, here's a link to one I offer in my shop: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ball-Chain-for-Pendant-Your-Choice-of-Length-to-Wear-with-Charm-Pendants-/121178814088?pt=Handcrafted_Artisan_Jewelry&var=&hash=item1c36d1f688
All of my charms are made with lead-free solder and glass. Same image on both sides.
If you put them on a key chain, they may get broken if not treated kindly. They are glass. If you want one for a key chain, I can custom make it with a thicker glass for $3 extra.
Chain not included. I offer chains elsewhere in my shop. Add one to an order if you want to make it a more complete.
