The rosary measures approximately 28 inches around the complete loop, with an additional 6-inch drop from the center medal to the bottom of the crucifix. The substantial crucifix measures approximately 1½ inches long by 1⅛ inches wide.
The crucifix is clearly marked “CREED STERLING,” identifying the maker and confirming its sterling-silver construction. Creed religious medals and crosses were traditionally die-struck from solid silver and finished through multiple hand operations, giving them sharper detail and better durability than inexpensive cast devotional jewelry.
Its generous 28-inch loop is a traditional full-size rosary proportion, intended for prayer rather than merely being worn as a conventional necklace. The five decades guide the user through the sequence of Our Father and Hail Mary prayers central to Catholic rosary devotion.
