Description

This is a most magnificent rosary, the King of Kings Rosary, from the prestigious and highly esteemed Vatican Library Collection. This rosary is 24 KT triple-gold layered and measures about 21 1/2″ doubled including the drop section and Crucifix. The color is a deep royal crimson and the crystal beads are 7 mm. The Centerpiece is the Blessed Virgin Mary in relief with alternating clear crystals and small pearls, and on top of this row of jewels is the enamel crown and cross, hand painted in the same style as the enamel which is the backdrop for the Corpus on the Crucifix. The enamel is a high gloss, and if you look closely it looks as if it is made of vertical waves of burgundy wine tone threads. On the reverse side of the Centerpiece you will see inscribed, the official seal of the Vatican Library Collection. The Crucifix is done in an ornate frame in contrast to the simple lines of the cross outlining the Corpus.
