Rosary Necklace

Rosary Necklace

Hi there, this is Andre :)

Andre Jewelry is almost 3 years old. The biggest breakthrough in 2026 has definitely been incorporating more gemstones into my designs and taking on more custom orders. I keep a record of every collection, piece, and custom design I've created since the beginning, so the website has also become a growing diary of Andre Jewelry. I'm glad you're here to be part of this journey!

The process of making this rosary necklace was super fun because this project included both a new design and reworking the client's old pieces. The client wanted to create a rosary necklace using a cross pendant she had bought before, along with some elements from an old necklace she had received as a gift.

We started with sketches to set the direction of the design. We decided to create a new signet featuring gemstones, while using only the black stones from her old necklace as the beads for the rosary necklace.

Selecting the chain and stones. The client loves moonstones, opals, and pearls. All the stones are sourced from reputable suppliers and come with certifications:

The nameplate is engraved with the client's initials. A little surprise!



It was such a pleasure and an unforgettable memory. Thank you!
