Description

DATE: Antique, c.1890

Prayer is something everyone can identify with, no matter your beliefs or faith. Rosary rings are used to recite the Rosary, but also used as a reminder of your faith. It is one of the most well known forms of prayer, and is done by using beads or a ring. The bumps are used to say the "10 Hail Marys", while moving the ring to count each prayer, and the cross for "Our Father".

This antique piece is French made and dates to circa 1890. It features a black enamel cross and the ten raised bumps. Crafted in 18k yellow gold throughout and fits a US 8 finger.
