Vintage Crucifix Rosary with Faux Pearl Beads

This is a handheld Catholic rosary featuring rounded, cream-colored faux pearl beads connected by a silver-toned metal chain. The construction utilizes a classic ocular link design. The centerpiece is a silver-toned Miraculous Medal with an embossed image of the Virgin Mary, showing moderate wear on high-relief areas. There are additional smaller oval medals integrated into the bead strands depicting various religious figures. The primary focal point is a traditional crucifix, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in length, featuring a corpus on a flared-end cross. The metal appears to be silver-plate or base metal with a light patina and some surface scratches consistent with prayer use. The faux pearl finish shows some minor flaking or 'skinning' on some beads, exposing the base material underneath. This style is characteristic of mid-20th-century devotional jewelry, likely dating from the 1950s to 1970s. The overall craftsmanship is mid-grade, typical of mass-produced religious sacramentals of that era, focused on durability and tactile use during prayer.
