This 18” vintage rosary is a compact but powerful devotional piece, blending traditional Catholic elements with unique folk-spiritual symbolism. Featuring glossy black vintage beads and sturdy silver-tone links, this rosary carries the unmistakable weight of age, use, and intention.
It includes a detailed St. Benedict medal—one of the most recognized symbols of protection—alongside a Knights of Columbus centerpiece still bearing its original vintage paper tags (“Blessed by Supreme Chaplain,” “Made in Italy,” “Quadruple Interlock Links”), making this piece exceptionally rare.
Paired with these traditional elements is a sculpted Santa Muerte charm, complete with red gem accents, hanging beside a classic Italian crucifix. This blend of Catholic and Santa Muerte imagery creates a distinctive devotional hybrid cherished by collectors, practitioners, and those drawn to strong spiritual symbolism.
This rosary was personally sourced in Mexico by Ed and Eddie, guaranteeing authenticity and true cultural context.
