All Anglican Prayer Beads or Anglican Rosaries contain a cross but some also have a crucifix.
A crucifix (from Latin cruci fixus meaning "(one) fixed to a cross") is a three-dimensional cross with a representation of Jesus' body, the "corpus" nailed to the cross.
Usually known as the "Anglican rosary," or sometimes "Christian prayer beads," or "ecumenical prayer beads," Anglican prayer beads are a loop of strung beads which Anglicans and other Christians use as a focus for prayer. Anglican prayer beads were developed in the mid-1980s by Episcopalians participating in a study group dealing with methods of prayer.
Anglican prayer bead sets consist of thirty-three beads divided into groups. There are four groups of seven beads with additional single beads separating the groups. The number thirty-three signifies the number of years that Christ lived on the Earth, while the number seven signifies wholeness or completion in the faith, the days of creation and the number four signifies the seasons of the Church year.

Why do catholics kiss the cross when stating the rosary?
Roman Catholic answer:Of course you can replace the cross on a rosary. The only thing that might be a factor is the blessing. When something is broken, it normally loses its blessing. A fixed altar, for instance, if it is moved in anyway, would lose its consecration. If you remove the crucifix from a blessed rosary, it would lose its blessing and have to be blessed again when you replace the crucifix.

The Wedding rosary is actually two individual and complete rosaries which meet and become one before the crucifix. Each rosary has 5 decades, each has its own center and pendant beads of 3 Aves and 2 Paters, then meet at the 3rd center to drop down into another series of 3 Aves's and 2 Paters before reaching the crucifix.

How do you know if you are in a Catholic or Anglican church?
Catholic churches will have a bowl or font of holy water near the entrance, into which followers dip their fingers to perform the sign of the cross. Inside the church will be pictures and statues of saints, with provision for the faithful to pray in front of the statues. There should be a large crucifix - a cross, with a likeness of the crucified Jesus on it. Modern Catholic churches have confessionals - small cubicles which the faithful can enter and confess sins in private to a priest. Anglican churches can be 'low' church or 'high' church. The Anglican low church would have no pictures of saints or crucifixes inside, whereas Anglican high churches would probably have at least a crucifix.
What does a fake rosary look like?
I have never seen or heard of a fake rosary. There are little rosaries that are called chaplets for praying to patron saints. They look like a rosary but might have a different medal instead of a crucifix or a different number of beads on it. It is used the same as a rosary, for praying to a patron saint for help or to meditate in prayer to that saint. Chaplets exist for Saints like St. Patrick, St. Teresa, Divine Mercy, St. Michael, etc. You can buy them at most religious stores.
