Rosaries: A spiritual symbol or
trendy accessory?
Houston Chronicle, USA
Tara Dooley
But these days the ordered string of beads is as likely to be found in a
house of fashion as it is in a house of prayer.
“It’s a big celebrity trend,” said Amber Gutierrez, a sales associate at
Fly High Little Bunny, a jewelry store on South Shepherd. “I’ve seen it on
people in clubs.”
Although a number of these pieces are simply rosary-inspired, some jewelry
cases also contain actual vintage rosaries.
They’re out there in all price ranges: Abejas Boutique on Kirby carries
Sydney Evan designs made with diamonds, some of which cost more than
$3,500. The lifestyle store Kuhl-Linscomb on West Alabama carries Rebecca
Lankford designs ranging from $300 to $440. At Fly High Little Bunny,
in-house designers fashion rosaries on demand, with costs varying
according to the materials used. Religious supply stores such as the Sacco
Co. on San Jacinto sell authentic rosaries for as little as 25 cents to
about $100.
Rosaries and what they symbolize periodically have moved from the pew to
the catwalk.
In the 1980s, Madonna posed “Like a Virgin” with a rosary hanging around
her neck. Soccer star David Beckham, bare-chested, wore a rosary on the
cover of Vanity Fair in 2004. Lindsay Lohan was recently spotted sporting
about in a rosary like design by Sydney Evans.
Perhaps more provocatively, last month’s W magazine featured a photo
spread of hip Dolce & Gabbana designs dubbed “In the Raw.” In one of the
images, a near-naked man held a rosary like necklace by D&G.
“The rosary has been a universal symbol,” said Martha Means, a buyer for
Kuhl-Linscomb. “It is a sign of faith for some people. I don’t know if it
is fortunate or unfortunate that it has become a fashion symbol.”
Throughout the ages, some people of faith have objected to seeing their
sacred symbols dangling from richly adorned necks.
For Catholics, the rosary functions as a prayer tool, said the Rev. Donald
Nesti, director of the University of St. Thomas’ Center for Faith and
Culture. Each section has significance, and the faithful recite prayers
using the beads as markers.
As Los Angeles-based designer Rosanne Karmes sees it, the pieces she
creates for SYdney Evan draw on customers’ deep desires.
“People today are looking for something of meaning, not necessarily
religious, but something of meaning,” said Karmes. She considers herself
someone who has “a high regard for all the religions that teach good
morals and values.”
Karmes often mixes religious symbols from various faiths in her designs.
One of her rosarylike pieces contains an evil eye in sapphires and
diamonds.
Her goal, she said, is never to disrespect the religious tradition from
which she borrows. “I think it is exposing the religious symbol without
mocking it,” she said.
A recent Fly High Little Bunny design made a world peace statement by
including symbols from Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
The motivation of the person wearing the rosary is, of course, hard to
determine — even when that person is strutting around on MTV. But the
rosary as bejeweled object does seem to miss the point: the religious
attributes of humility, poverty and dependence on God, Nesti said. “It
becomes a distraction from the divine rather than a means to the divine,”
he said.
Nesti’s own rosary is made of simple olive wood from the Holy Land.
Traditionally, a rosary contains five groups of 10 beads, or decades,
separated by a large bead. Prayers including the Hail Mary and the Our
Father are assigned to each bead. The beads are used to combine repetitive
vocal prayers with meditations on the joyful, luminous, sorrowful and
glorious mysteries of Jesus’ life.
“It is supposed to help you to focus on these mysteries,” Nesti said.
“There is nothing magic about it.”
When Gutierrez tried her hand a jewelry design, one of her first efforts
was a rosary. But as she made it, she became too attached to the work to
sell it.
“It is a representation of who I am,” Gutierrez said. “I think whatever
draws attention to the Catholic Church is great, even if it is worn as a
fashion statement.”
