Vintage rosary crafted in silver with natural red coral beads. Dating from the 1960s and 1970s, a decade of aesthetic transition where tradition was reinterpreted with new sensibilities. This rosary stands out for the intensity of the red coral, its spherical shape, and its polished finish, carefully strung on silver wire with its original patina.
The cross, also made of silver, features a stylized, handcrafted design that reflects a freer and more expressive approach, very much in keeping with the artistic movements of the mid-20th century. The figure of Christ, with its geometric and simplified features, stands out in relief within a frame of irregular lines, evoking an almost brutalist aesthetic.
The central medallion of the rosary, with a cut-out motif in the form of a Marian emblem, complements the piece, providing visual balance. This rosary was conceived not only for prayer, but also as an object of intimate devotion and aesthetic expression.
An ideal piece for collectors of religious objects, lovers of handcrafted design, or those looking for jewelry with history and soul.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
