    I was “very thoughtfully” gifted this beautiful vintage rosary. Originally thought to be from closer to 1900, I date it to the late 1930’s/early 1940’s through my experience in religious artifact. Still, I absolutely LOVE this well thought out present.

    The rosary itself is 22 inches long, the cross is 1 5/8 inches in height, and 1 1/8 inches in width. The beads are glass amethyst faceted. The cross is gold gilt, with some age wear.

    I absolutely love this beautiful rosary, and I will certainly use it in “good faith”. ❤️Maven

    @i need help Thank You. I will most certainly cherish it as long as I live. It was very emotional when I opened the little box, and first laid eyes on it. ❤Maven

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It is a very beautiful and appropriate gift -- you are very lucky to have it, and even luckier to know the person who gave it to you.

    My mother's Rosary was made of amethyst glass beads. We buried it with her because it seemed appropriate. None of the younger generation is Catholic. Yours is beautiful

    Thank You @KSW for saying. It is even more stunning when viewed with the naked eye than the pictures allow. I am certainly going to treasure this gift with so much meaning, belief, and faith. ❤️Maven

    I love that the beads have so many facets and are an unusual shape. They catch the light beautifully. They certainly did glass beads well in that era.

    I agree @KSW There is a certain distinction and refinement to things made in that era, the details are remarkable in something of this vintage. I absolutely love it. ❤️Maven
