    Any idea how to date this or figure out What it’s made of?

    I think the cross and other blue enamel are French Guilloche

    Yes identical,
    gold colored, but no gold stamps
    It’s identical to the one you posted, and it’s a good coloring but I don’t think it is gold

    Very pretty colour combination, Estater, and nicely detailed crucifix.
    I'm with Holly, glass beads. The metal looks like base metal, but I don't have it in hand. Do you have a way of testing it?
    Could we see the back of the case as well?

    @Estaterestate I think your rosary could possibly be of mid 1920’s French Guilloche antiquity, because of the deco style, I believe the one I saw was made in France. I came across one similar to yours when I was researching my rosary, unfortunately I can’t recall exactly where, I was looking at many types of rosaries at the time. But I do recall coloration, and design. That could at least be a starting point for you. I hope that may help. ❤️Maven

    Beads look like Czech glass. Agree on guilloche enamel, and possibly silver.
