This item will ship worldwide DDP so not tariffs to pay on arrival.
This is a beautifully delicate rosary exquisitely made. It is hallmarked with the boar's head on the exquisite cross, so it is Sterling silver.
Each of the stunning art glass beads, for which France was so famous, on the silver chain is 5 mm in diameter.
The cross is 3.7 x 2.5 cm and the link medal is 1 x 1 cm. The link medal has a depiction of The Archangel Gabriel on one side and the reverse has a laurel wreath. So this rosary was clearly created as a 1st Communion present and is almost certainly unique.
Each of the Our Father beads is wonderfully crafted from silver and decorated with silver wire. These incredibly intricate Our Father beads are 7mm in diameter.
A wonderful and very rare rosary.
