How I Repaired The Rosary
The rosary had completely broken in several places, it was attached using pieces of elastic and bits of wire used by the customer, it needed a complete overhaul. The customer wanted to have a full repair, using strong beading chain and a brand new crucifix as the original had tarnished beyond repair. The glass beads were given a clean and polish, and a new crucifix with the same design was attached, the rosary was finished and sent back to the customer within 12 days

Thin And Fraying Cotton Thread

 |
| |
|
| How I Repaired The Rosary |
The rosary had been created from thin cotton thread which had started to fray in several places, the beads had also become very loose. This needed replacing immediately before any beads would be lost. I replaced the thin thread with strong flexible beading wire and added a centerpiece to compliment the overall design. The rosary had also lost its crucifix, so I added a new one to the completed rosary and attached the existing Mary medal. I then gave the whole rosary a polish and sent them back within 10 days

How I Repaired The Rosary
The rosary had broken in several places, and the corpus (Jesus' body) had come away from the cross. It needed to have all of the crystal beads attached and to reattach the corpus. The customer wanted to have a full repair, using chain similar to the original. The crystal beads were given a clean and polish, and Jesus' body was attached using glue and epoxy resin, the rosary was finished and sent back to the customer within 10 days
