FREE: 3 Crosses: A Necklace, A Wrist Rosary, A Pendant

The listing, 3 Crosses: A Necklace, A Wrist Rosary, A Pendant has ended.

You get all three pieces for your winning bid. The necklace is a silver chain made of silver cylinder beads and a silver cross with a turquoise centerpiece. The cross is almost 2" x 1-1/2" and the center stone looks like real turquoise (I can't guarantee it is of course). The chain is 16" long. It is made of cylinder beads strung together. They aren't marked, so I don't know if they are sterling or not, but they are very pretty either way. The cross is not marked, so it is probably either silver plated or stainless steel.

The little 'wrist rosary' (my name for it) is very unusual. The whole piece is 5" from the top of the chain to the bottom of the cross. The chain would be about 6-1/2" if it were spread out, and it has 4 small silver balls on it. The little central medallion shows Mary (I think), with a halo. There are words around the edge, but they are too small for me to make out. On the back is a pin with a patent number on it.

Finally, a short chain with 2 more silver balls on it lead to the tiny cross. It is 1" x 1/2". The front of the cross has Christ on it with 'IMRI' above his head.

The third cross is old. It is a pendant, no chain. The cross is 1" x 3/4" black with 2 crossed bands at the center. The black is probably a hard black plastic, I don't think it's onyx. With a very good magnifying glass, you can see small chips in the edges of the black. The back is silver, made with deep furrows in it. With my very good magnifying glass, I can see an 'M' and '925', so the back of this cross might well be sterling. I looks like it is missing a stone on the bail, but you won't miss it, you have to look at with a magnifying glass to see where it should be.

If you like crosses or collect them, you should be pleased with these three. I don't think I've ever seen any others quite like them.

Good luck bidding!
