The Vatican Library, heir to the ancient papal libraries, is one of the world's greatest repositories of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and incunabula (books printed before 1501). The artistic strengths of The Vatican Library are found in the magnificently frescoed Sistine Chapel, and the sacred antiquities of the Museo Sacro and Museo Profano.
Through an exclusive licensing agreement with The Vatican Library, the 1928 Jewelry Company has been granted the privilege to enter the library, take photographs of, and sketch the breathtaking works of art within. Drawing on these resources, we have created a line of jewelry and gifts inspired by The Vatican Library's renowned, yet seldom viewed, art and architecture. Jeweled Angels, etched crosses, engraved crucifixes, hand strung rosaries, hand enameled rosary boxes, delicate bookmarks and faith inspiring key rings are among the many offerings available from The Vatican Library Collection.
