Your faith should be yours. This beautiful vintage finger rosary features a crucifix with the figure of Jesus on the cross, including the "INRI" inscription at the top of the cross at the top and a ring that looks like the crown of thorns on the bottom. There are ten beads, one for each decade of the Catholic Rosary. This is vintage, but I do not know what year it is. It's made in Italy and appears to be pewter beads and potentially silver-plated crown of thorns. This is not metal. It does not attract a magnet. I do not see a 925 on it so I don't believe it is pure silver. (And if I am wrong you get a great bargain!)
