American Drop Necklaces

Antique 1908 Sloan & Co. 14K Gold Rosary – Blessed by Pope Pius X Maker: Sloan & Co. Date: MCMVIII (1908) Metal: 14K gold (tested) Weight: 26.4 grams Length: Approx. 18.5" overall Wearable Length: Approx. 24" loop Beads: Alternating 7mm & 5.5mm Cross: Approx. 2" long Condition: Excellent antique condition; two beads with minor dents consistent with age Inscriptions: “MCMVIII” (1908); “Pio Papa X M.L.E.”; “SSDN” (abbrev. Sanctissimus Dominus Noster — “Our Most Holy Lord”) A beautifully preserved early 20th-century gold rosary attributed to Sloan & Co., a respected American maker known for quality workmanship during this period. Crafted entirely in solid 14k gold and weighing a substantial 26.4 grams, the piece features well-formed cable links and smoothly finished beads, demonstrating both durability and careful hand-finishing. The alternating bead sizes create a refined visual rhythm, while the crucifix displays crisp modeling of Christ against a softly matte ground. The reverse of the cross bears engraved inscriptions including the Roman numeral date MCMVIII (1908) alongside “Pio Papa X M.L.E.” and “SSDN.” These align with formal papal blessing conventions of the period. “SSDN” expands to "Sanctissimus Dominus Noster" (Our Most Holy Lord) while “M.L.E.” represents "Munere Litterarum Ecclesiasticarum", a Latin phrase that translates roughly to "by the office/duty of ecclesiastical letters [or documents]" or "through the function of church writings. Together, these inscriptions reinforce the rosary’s devotional context and historical significance. With elegant proportions and a wearable loop length of approximately 24 inches, the rosary drapes beautifully as a necklace while remaining fully functional for devotional use. The association with Pope Pius X—later canonized and closely tied to early 20th-century Catholic devotional life—adds further depth and collector appeal. A compelling and wearable example of antique religious jewelry...
