This rosary is really special. Each of the integrated gold tone medals depicts a different aspect of either the life of Jesus or Mary in sharp detail. The beads are round 6mm pale moonstone. The Marian centermedal is signed, but the real beauty of this rosary lies in the ornate crucifix with is etched on both the front and back.


In addition to the integrated medals, there is a large gold tone Our Lady of Lourdes medal attached. The gold tone St. Therese of Liseux medal is stamped "FIX" on the bail. This was a common process for gold plating during the 1940's for Art Nouveau Jewelry in France. The piece is not gold, but the plating is so thick, it will test as gold with jeweler's acid. It tested positive for 14K gold for me. It is a beautiful and intricate two sided medal. Gold tone, two color enamel Mary Queen of Heaven Medal attached at the drop.

Hanging Length: 18 inches

Crucifix Length: 1.5 inches
