A fabulous French rosary, made of gold on sterling silver (vermeil), from the Art Nouveau period, around the 1900's. The mater beads are made of faceted purple crystal to make it easy to pray. Each of the mater beads measure 6mm. The purple color of these beads is geogeous and hard to capture in pictures with the lighting. The pater beads are stunning, they are finely capped. The Art Nouveau centerpiece and cross are finely ornated.
They don't make rosaries like this anymore.
This uncommon religious jewelry would be a great Communion gift. Good antique condition with some normal signs of ages like gold wears. It is an authentic French rosary of almost 100 years old. It is hallmarked on the cross ring and on the centerpiece. Please take a close look at the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
