40079- French antique Catholic sterling silver pendant pearl rosary necklace

This is a Catholic rosary necklace, commonly known as a rosary. What makes this special is that each bead is made of round pearls, and the crucifix with the statue of Jesus is crafted from sterling silver. The connecting medallion between the crucifix and the main part of the rosary features a silver medal. On the front of the medal is an image of a saint in prayer, while the back depicts a bishop’s mitre, a cross, and other religious symbols, which likely represent a specific diocese, clergy, or religious community. The rosary is a string of beads used for counting prayers, particularly during the recitation of the Rosary Prayer. Its primary purpose is to help believers keep track of their prayers and maintain focus. Each bead represents an hail Mary, and the larger beads between each decade mark an our Father or Glory Be. A rosary typically includes the following main components: 1. Crucifix: Located at the end of the rosary, marking the starting and ending points of the prayer. 2. Five Decades: Composed of ten smaller beads in each decade, representing the ten Hail Marys. Between each decade is a larger bead to separate different parts of the prayer. 3. Connector Bead: A special bead or medallion that links the crucifix to the main part of the rosary, often featuring a sacred image or symbol. Pearls are chosen for their natural luster and beauty, making them ideal materials for creating sacred items. Their radiance and texture give the rosary a sense of divinity and solemnity. 十字架墜子尺寸ring Size：長L5x寬 2.5 cm 鍊子尺寸 Chain Size：含墜總長L52 cm，項鍊單邊長35 cm The total length (with the pendant is L52 cm, and the length of the necklace is 35 cm on one side. 總重量Weight ：78g 珍珠數量The number of pearls：59 顆 材質Material : 純銀墜 與天然珍珠Sterling silver pendant and pearls Reference code : W40522-2309 ⚠️請留意：古董物件無論顏色與表面皆有歷史使用痕跡，若有任何問題，歡迎請來訊詢問。 ⚠️親愛的來自國外的朋友們，全球運輸提供安全包裝。 歡迎隨時與我們詢問運費相關事宜。 ⚠️ Please note: Antique objects have historical wear&tear of use regardless of color and surface.
