Features of Our Handmade Rosaries
Handmade Quality
Each rosary is a handmade original. It has the artisan’s personal touch. When you find a rosary you enjoy praying with, it is one to cherish.
We use hand-held tools to bend the wire or cord that secures the beads. A rosary that is well-made will endure through all the seasons of life.
Comfortable for Prayer
With a wide variety to choose from, you will be able to find a rosary that feels comfortable in your hands for prayer.
Our wire rosaries come in different shapes and sizes. Be sure to look for one with room for your fingers. That way, they can hold your place as you move across the beads during prayer.
Cord Rosaries
We also have an assortment of strung rosaries. We add enough space between the beads to slide along the cord as you pray so that you can hold your spot.
Beads
We only select beads without chips, cracks, surface bubbles, or other flaws. Our specialty wire-work enhances the Our Father beads in some way so that they do not feel like part of the Hail Mary groups.
The Extra Details
In the photo, we wire-wrapped caps onto the Our Father beads. They are also a different colour to help them stand apart.
The rosary pictured here also has a moveable decade marker. These are handy to hold your spot on busy days. When you special-order a rosary from us, you can ask us to make a matching one.
Wire
We use sturdy wire to make rounded, uniform loops. The curved shape allows the rosary to turn with the movement of the beads during prayer.
A rosary’s vulnerability is in the loops that connect it to the Crucifix and center medal. We use heavy-duty jump rings or wrapped bows to hold them in place. They are sturdy and smooth to the touch.
Symmetry
Finally, a quality rosary should line up evenly. We spend extra time on each rosary to ensure symmetry.
When a rosary is well-made, it frees the heart and mind to pray more deeply.
