This rosary is everything and more. It was a nun's rosary and so this is the scoop on this beautiful piece. The crucifix is very different. The cross is silverplated with an ebony wood that rests Christ's Corpus on the cross. The reason why it is silver plated is because in the back it is a whistle. Sister used to use it during the recess periods for the kids at a local elementary school in Appleton. The back of the rosary says "Protect God". And the whistle works, I believe it more on a high pitch sound for animals, they can hear this whistle. The crucifix is 2 1/2" by 1 1/2" and has a brass Corpus on the cross.This rosary weighs 87 grams! The rosary is 27" long, and is a circumference of 37" and a drop of 8". The fully capped crystal 8MM beads are also brass, the chain is brass and the center medal is brass. On the back of the center medal are initials of this nun. The front is beautiful with a glorious patina. The Sacred Heart of Christ done with a burning Heart, and a crown of thorns around the Heart with a cross above the Heart, and enamel is also present around the Heart. T is a lot of detail work on this center piece and it is magnificent. The filigree caps on the crystal beads are beautiful. This rosary has it all, and I know who ever gets this one will not want to part with it. It is that beautiful. And, it is that precious.
