Handmade
A handmade rosary is better quality, sturdier, and more unique than a mass-produced one. It is an investment in a reliable rosary.
Strength
You can count on handmade rosaries to last. We use quality wire that holds its shape. Our sturdy cord and Paracord rosaries are knotted and sealed securely.
Size
Consider a rosary’s carrying size and thumb space when choosing a rosary. With enough thumb space, for example, you can hold onto beads as you pray.
Beads
Beads are a rosary’s most noticeable feature. There are various types and sizes to choose from. Some rosaries have Our Father beads that stand apart in some way.

Classic
We make our classic rosaries with tight, round loops and sturdy wire. Then, we connect them with heavy-duty jump rings or wrapped bows.
Wire-Wrapped
We wrap the wire around the core strand that passes through the beads. Then, we attach them with sturdy wrapped bows.
Cord
The strength of our fishing net twine rivals 95 Paracord. We wrap the cord around a core strand and heat-seal the cut ends to secure them.
Paracord
We make our rosaries with three Paracord thicknesses: micro, 95, and 550. Our most popular is 95 Paracord with stainless steel accent beads.
Availability
Everything handmade takes time to do well. It is best to order early, but we realize that isn’t always possible. We are working to grow our in-stock item selection.

- CORD ROSARIES & EASY ITEMS: 1-2 months wait time

Jewellery
Wearing a rosary bracelet or necklace is an easy way to have rosary beads handy. Our designs either have a single decade or the beads of a full rosary.
Pocket & Car Rosaries
A pocket rosary is another name for a single-decade rosary with 10 or 11 beads. Car rosaries can hang on the mirror or somewhere handy in a vehicle.
Themes
A rosary with a specific theme adds extra devotion to our prayers. The theme is identified by the rosary center, colour, beads, extra medals, and/or Crucifix.
Nickel-Free
Those with nickel allergies can choose a rosary with plastic parts or one with cord and wood components. A sterling silver rosary is another option.
