Italian Rosary with Cut Glass Beads and Cross - Ave Maria

An elegant vintage rosary of Italian origin, crafted with cut glass beads that provide a subtle, iridescent play of light.

The beads feature an aurora borealis finish, creating a soft rainbow sheen when moved or exposed to light. Combined with the warm patina of the metal chain and the slender crucifix, this piece forms a balanced and characterful whole.

The oval medal bears the inscription “Ave Maria” and “Italy,” highlighting its origin and religious context.

A refined religious object that serves beautifully both in devotional use and as a decorative piece.
