Marry Me Jewelry was given the honor of being commissioned to make two crowns for Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church Blessed Mother and Child statues. The Shrine received a papal coronation from the Vatican in Rome in May 2009, an honor bestowed only to three sites in the United States in the last century. The dedication ceremony in the United States took place in June 2009.
The original crowns were crafted in early 1900 Italy with 18 Karat Gold.
The redesigned crown, completed through the leadership and imagination of Gino, has hand engraved patterns adorning the upper portion of the crown, with semi precious colored stone and pearls enhancing the design.
Gino described the experience as being “an extreme job but very fulfilling. The crowns for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel have been a pleasure to work on. Although creating a design to enhance the original crowns was challenging, as you can see the outcome is outstanding.” He further thanks the church for the opportunity to use his expertise and creativity for the re-creation of the crowns.
