Rosary - Crystal - 1930-1940

The Rosary
Beads: It is composed of faceted crystal beads in a violet or amethyst shade. The faceted cut allows the beads to catch and reflect light, creating sparkles and deep shadows, as seen in the sunlight in the image.
Structure: The beads are joined by a fine metal chain, probably silver or a metal with a silver finish.
Cross: It features a detailed metal crucifix in a traditional style, hanging from the end of the rosary.
Center: It includes a central medal (or "center") that joins the decades, a common element in Catholic rosaries to mark the start of the prayers.
The Case (Reliquary/Portaviatico)
Material: A circular metal box with a bright gold finish (possibly brass or gold plating).
Design: This is a side-opening case with a hinge. In its shape and depth, it appears to be a portaviatico (used to carry Communion) or a pocket reliquary repurposed as a jewelry box to protect the rosary.
Interior: The interior is smooth and polished, designed to keep the rosary organized and free of tangles.
General Aesthetics
The set evokes a sense of old devotion and elegance. The contrast between the spiritual violet of the beads and the gold of the case, added to the linen cloth with floral embroidery (Richelieu style) on which it rests, suggests that it is an object with sentimental value or a family heirloom.
