Roses often represent more than a flower arrangement. They are recognized as a true expression of love. To help you retain those cherished memories, Commemorative Rosaries has developed a unique process for preserving your special roses and transforming them into beautiful rose petal keepsakes. We use your actual roses to create durable and long lasting beads included in our handmade rosaries, necklaces, earrings, and other fine jewelry.
