This Rosary was made for a 50 Year Wedding Anniversary gift for a Dad. His birthstone is Garnet.
Traditionally black beads are use for religious rosaries. I have chosen in this design of multicolor to use the black beads to show where the fourteen children's birthstones leave off and the twenty-nine grandchildren's birthstones begin. Unless otherwise stated the Dad's birthstone, which is Garnet, will be used for the Our Father Beads.
Birthstone colors are for the family members:
1st Our Father bead - April for his Father's birthday
The set of 3 Hail Mary beads are:
January for Dad's birthday
June for Marriage
March for Mom's birthday
2nd Our Father bead - March for his Mother
