Vintage finger rosary, also known as a decade ring, made of silver-tone metal. It features an open circular structure in the center, surrounded by ten rounded protrusions that allow the Hail Marys to be counted during prayer. At the top, it incorporates a crucifix with a relief figure of Christ, set on a cross with widened arms and geometric cutouts.
Finger rosaries are part of the Catholic devotional tradition and are used to pray a decade of the rosary. The ten protrusions represent the ten Hail Marys, while the crucifix marks the beginning of the prayer and is associated with the Our Father. This type of religious object, used for centuries, remained particularly prominent in personal devotion and pilgrimage items of the 20th century.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.
We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.
If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
