Rosary Bracelet with Faux Pearls and Gold-Tone Charms

This item is a short, single-strand rosary-style bracelet, approximately 6-8 inches in length, featuring a series of white spherical beads, likely faux pearls, interconnected by gold-tone chain links. Each bead appears to be uniformly sized, around 6-8mm in diameter, with a smooth, lustrous surface. The gold-tone metal, which forms the chain, jump rings, and charms, exhibits a bright, shiny finish, suggesting either a gold plating or a polished base metal. Attached at one end of the bead string are two distinct charms: a small, intricately detailed crucifix and a round, flat medallion depicting a religious figure, most likely the Miraculous Medal due to its distinctive oval shape and typical iconography of the Virgin Mary. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, with standard chain links and securely attached beads. There are no immediate visible signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, though a slight tarnishing might be present on the gold-tone metal, which is typical for plated items over time. The item's condition appears good overall with no obvious flaws. The style suggests a modern interpretation of a traditional religious item, potentially from the late 20th or early 21st century. It is likely designed for everyday wear or as a devotional accessory rather than as a high-value piece of fine jewelry. The connection points between the beads and the chain appear robust enough for regular handling.
