Accept no imitations

The unfortunate truth is that there are fakes everywhere, even in the business of vintage rosaries. Classic designs by Gloria, LP, and RLC are copied, cast in silver, stamped sterling, and then resold without hallmarks as poor imitations of the originals. The problem is that sometimes they are really obvious and terrible looking, as in the case with this rosary.

The origin of these pictures has been kept secret to protect the innocent:




This is probably the worst imitation of a Gloria rosary I have ever seen. Sure it's shiny, but it just makes me sad.



Okay. I'll admit it. The photography kind of bums me out too...
