Early 1900s 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...

Note : The second egg will not be included > Most of the items that we sell are not new at all if not stated otherwise. Accordingly, most of the items most often show some signs of use. We do our best to photograph and describe condition as accurately as possible if we notice something. There is no point in hiding anything or lying about the condition of used items that are at least several decades old.. Also presume that sometimes metal parts, stones or enamels ,etc. may show minor scratches, chips, micro-dents, minor deformations and other signs of wear and aging that we could miss to notice in description, unintentionally. . If there are questions about an item, please email me before you buy it. I will note in the description any anomalies but also provide visual aid concerning condition though photographs, and these should be considered part of the description. Most images of items listed were taken under natural light at daytime. We use modern high quality digital cameras and additional photo equipment for image processing. We upload high quality images that allow to see well the shapes, colors and flaws of very small stones . So look carefully before you buy anything. In reality some colors of materials involved may look a bit differently depending on light conditions, settings and functionality of your monitor and my camera. Your personal perception of colors and physiological conditions of your eyes may also affect the vision of the items. Gemstones may often look differently in different light and weather conditions and time of the day, both indoors and outdoors. Stones of the rings photographed alone may look a bit differently when on hand because your finger makes the back side of the stone closed and light no longer can go through and the color becomes different. Stones with closed backs may seem darker than stones with open backs. Such nuances of color perception do not give any excuse to claim item to be not as described. Some buyers tried to make return...
