N1332 “GUADALUPE ROSE ROSARY”

This Guadalupe necklace is made from a beautiful old strand of rosary beads that was broken and virtually discarded. I think the beads are a beautiful rich purple and well worth making into an elegant rosary necklace. I am not sure if the beads are glass or crystal but I do know that the Guadalupe center and links are sterling silver and the pretty rose is a lovely antiqued bronze with a little amethyst dangle. The necklace is 22″ long when folded, and nicely in keeping with today’s fashion for long elegant necklaces.
