Our exclusive St. Pier Giorgio Frassati Matte Black Onyx & White Jade Rosary is a bold and prayerful tribute to St. Pier Giorgio.
He was a vibrant young Italian known for his deep faith, love for the poor, passion for mountain climbing, and gift for finding God in the beauty of the Creator.
This extraordinary rosary is handcrafted on site with great care and reverence. It features matte black onyx Hail Mary beads that evoke strength and determination, paired with opaque matte white jade Our Father beads—an echo of the snow-capped Alps that Pier Giorgio so often climbed in search of beauty, silence, and union with God.
Petite Czech glass and nickel spacers add an air of reverence and understated elegance worthy of this humble, joyful, generous leader who was a friend to many and a model to all.
At the heart of this striking, masculine rosary is a handsome silver bezel centerpiece we have made in our Charlotte, NC workshop. It features a black & white photograph of St. Pier Giorgio ascending the Alps, where he found such solace and grandeur in his Creator. Capped by a glass cabochon, the image features his motto, in his own handwriting: Verso l' alto! - To the heights!
We designed the distinctive centerpiece as a visual reminder of his interior and physical ascent—toward holiness, service, and eternal life. It contains the last photo taken of him before his death and was sent to him by a companion on the climb. May his quest inspire us to pursue the heights of holiness.
The St. Benedict crucifix is large and powerful, heavy in the hand - a reflection of the strength of His faith and his unwavering trust in God.
A true expression of faith and perseverance, our handmade rosary reflects Pier Giorgio’s spirit of joyful sacrifice and his now-famous motto, "To the heights!"
For your own daily prayer, to inspire virtue in the face of life’s challenges, or to present at Confirmation or RCIA, or any other occasion, our rosary celebrating the life of Pier Giorgio makes a meaningful gift or aid to prayer.
It's a refined and beautiful rosary for all those seeking to live in search of Christ, with courage and devotion, as they aspire “To the heights!”
