The Vatican Library Collection ''Vatican Color Basics'' Silver-Tone Crystal Cross Necklace, 16''

Through an exclusive licensing agreement with The Vatican Library, the 1928 Jewelry Company obtained the rights to reproduce objects and jewelry that are found in the collections of religious artifacts in the Vatican City library. Drawing on these resources, the 1928 Jewelry Company created The Vatican Library Collection, a stunning line of faith-oriented Catholic jewelry and religious gifts. This inspirational collection is handcrafted in the U.S.A., and offers high quality hand-strung rosaries, hand-enameled rosary boxes, jeweled angels, etched crosses, engraved crucifixes, bookmarks, and giftables. These same designs are also sold within the shops of the Vatican Museums.

The Vatican Library, heir to the ancient papal libraries, is one of the world’s greatest repositories of historic art and architectural masterpieces. The artistic strengths of The Vatican Library Collection are found in the magnificently frescoed Sistine Chapel, and the scarred antiquities of the Museo Sacro and Museo Profano. Now these inspired designs from treasures only accessible to qualified scholars are available to own or give with pride.
