Here is a One Of A Kind, VINTAGE, Hand Crafted, Marked "Sterling Silver & Turquoise South West Design Crucifix & Iridescent Multi-Faceted Czech Glass Beads Rosary Style Necklace". My neighbor purchased the Sterling Crucifix during a trip to New Mexico in 1961 and put it away upon her return east. In 1975 she added it to these multi-faceted Czech Glass Beads from her grandmothers broken rosary which had been made in the early-1940s. In EXCELLENT Condition with minimal wear and a NICE Patina, there are NO marks, stains, odors or other damage; it comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home. With a total drop of approximately 20 inches, the Sterling Silver Turquoise Crucifix measures approximately 1 1/2 inches tall and approximately 1 inch wide; the Crucifix is Marked with the "Image Of An Arrow Sign Post With A Bell Sign Hanging From It" Hallmark of the Southwest Shop "Bell Trading Post 2" and "Sterling".
History is precious, as well as timeless and this PRETTY Rosary Style Necklace has a LOVELY, DELICATE design. With multi-faceted Clear and Blue Czech Glass Beads, the Silver links are large and sturdy. The BEAUTIFUL Sterling Silver Crucifix is very special, with a hand punched design that surrounds a raised Turquoise cabochon. The Iridescent Glass Beads are LOVELY and catch the light with a gleaming, bright sparkle. An ELEGANT Rosary Necklace with Southwestern flair, the marriage of these two pieces ensures that it is one-of-a-kind. The Bell Trading Company was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1935 by Jack Michelson and his wife Mildred. They sold Native American Indian jewelry at various locations in the southwestern United States until the late-1980s. The Bell company got its name from Jack’s wife, whose maiden name was Bell. hallmark image of an arrow sign post with a bell sign hanging from it.
