I'm pretty sure it the rosary was red coral - it's too orangy to be
ruby and red coral was one of the favorite expensive materials. Too
bad the real stuff today is still expensive and I haven't found the
substitute dyed coral in large enough beads yet (especially not as
large as hers are pictured).
So do you think that the turn-back sleeves are a different material
then? I thought it looked the same as her gown fabric, but that's
the problem with black. I've since seen a few more images of
turn-back sleeves matching the overgown, but they're of a later
date. I think I'm going to go ahead and plan to do it that way.

I've seen large red coral beads (dyed, of course) in my Fire Mountain
Gems catalog. You might try starting at this web site:

They are not too expensive. What size are you trying for?
