Filigree Rosary - Filigran Rosenkranz

Looking for and still trying to find the perfect Bavarian-style filigree rosary...

The first was chained with English-cut red glass and a pink enameled crucifix.  Nice condition.  Age: mid to late 1800's.  I have already sold it to another collector.

The second was a 20th Century mother-of-pearl.  It, too, has been passed on to someone else.

The third & forth came together from Germany.  One was rose-carved wood having a cross with wood and mother-of-pearl inlays.  The other was green cut glass with a "leaf" style filigree endpiece with enameled inlays.  Both were strung - not chained.  The first dated to the mid 1700's, and the latter - early 1800's.  Both of these rosaries have been sold to 2 different collectors.

I bid on another very fine filigree with a medal at the end which was surrounded with filigree, and the beads were red coral.  It would have been the nicest.  Unfortunately, I was outbid.  :-(

Currenty, I am expecting a filigree in the mail from overseas.  It is similiar to the one on which I bid but lost, excet that it is strung and the beads are golden.  I will update with I get it.

If anyone has any filigrees, let me know...
