One of a Kind and Difficult to Sell

Sometimes a rosary is so nice it's really hard to part with it even though I can't really justify keeping it. Here is such a rosary. Besides being awesome it just feels great in your hands. Bohemian glass is a lot like rock crystal in that it tends to be heavy and cool to the touch. The faceted beads have a slick feel and so the rosary slides though your fingers like silk.



You will never see another like this glorious rosary from the 1940s with all solid sterling silver assembly and two layer brown and white faceted bohemian glass art beads. The swirled art deco design on the crucifix is classic French styling with a unique maker's mark on the bail. The center medal is a scapular medal and devotion to the beloved Flemish Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel Shrine. The center medal has many marks on it including the artist's own signature and sterling purity mark.

The rosary has two medals attached at the drop:

A hallmarked solid 800 silver hexagon Lourdes medal
A signed silver Carmelite Our Lady of Montiagu ( Scherpenheuvel) scapular medal
Hanging Length: 20 inches
Crucifix: 1.5 inches to the bail
