Inspired by the Classic Italian Botticelli angel, this amulet is meant to guide and protect us. Angels are benevolent creatures, often depicted in art and religion as supernatural spiritual beings, with wings, halos and divine light. According to the philosopher and theologian, Thomas Aquinas, angels are pure form without matter, whose life consists in knowledge and love. Being bodiless, their knowledge is intellectual and not through the senses. This recycled sterling silver angel rosary necklace cross is hand beaded with 2.5mm smooth round turquoise beads. The angel measures approximately 5/8" length and 1/2" in width, and the heart measures 3/8" diameter. The chain is available in 18” and 20" with a spring ring closure.
