Vintage Silver Rosary & Case Blessed by the Pope dog_collar in the mid and laterPurchased in Rome in the late 1960s, this sterling silver rosary also comes with the original, wearable round locket case. Blessed by Pope Paul VI, it is a delicate rosary, compact so that it can be placed inside the locket. The pendant is puffy and opens on the front, hinged on the bottom. It is embossed with the image of Jesus of the Sacred Heart and an engraved border. Please note the measurements, as this is not a typically sized rosary.
