| Original Message: Old & new prayer strands |

Really-really-really stunning! Last night I saw (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER) the cross from the left picture and today - believe it or not - I saw the VERY SAME prayer strand (though in a lighter brown) on a fleamarket, I visited. The price for the single cross stood at 40 Dollars (on an auction side), while the prayer strand - literally a one-to-one copy of yours, except for a slightly lighter color, was offered at 12 Euro (= ca. Dollar). I wanted to buy it (for 8 E) and the dealer agreed, but since I had no coins, I finally forgot! While the single cross (photo later) for 40 Dollar had a simelar metal ring in the center too, the rosary I found today showed no metal - otherwise the VERY SAME piece. Actually all three pieces were 100% same. Yours, the single cross for 40$ and the rosary I saw today on a fleamarket. Is that possible...??? Have never seen such a piece in my life - and now I saw three within 24 hours? STUNNING!!! Will post a photo of the single cross in a minute! PS The auction house insisted the cross was of Russian origin! All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
