This auction is for one rosary with a Creed crucifix, which is made purely of 14K gold .I recently inherited this, and here is what I know about the item: Weight: Total weight is 44.6 gram (14K gold, tested by local jeweler). Marks: It is stamped "14K CREED". Length: Total necklace length is about 29", drop is 7-1/2" (including length of crucifix). Crucifix: Measures 2-3/16" in length and 1-3/8" wide. Decades: This is a 5 decade rosary. Beads: These are 3/16" (close to 5mm) in size, with the larger ones being 1/4" (just over 6mm). Age: My best guess is that it is from the 1950s or 1960s -- but no later than the 1970s, as it has been in storage for decades. Condition: Pre-owned, and shows some light wear. This seems to be quite a rare piece, and the quality really is fantastic. While doing my research on this rosary I have yet to see another 14K gold rosary with a Creed crucifix in this style offered for sale on eBay, or anywhere else for that matter.. so this is your lucky day if you've been waiting for one of these!

Here is what she said: "commercial Rosaries were assembled with jump rings, but this one is put together with
