More Details
The Holy Family & St. Christopher Car Rosary has a clasp to attach to rearview mirrors. The specialty-cut Czech glass beads look like crystals. We chose soft amethyst to match most colours. It is wire-wrapped to cope with the movements of driving. Although the medal is no longer available at our suppliers, we still have a few in stock.
TIP: Wire-wrapped rosaries will not come unhooked. The design will sometimes result in a temporary kink. There are two ways to resolve it: a gentle shake; or lifting and turning the section by hand.

How to Choose Good Quality Loops & Connections
Loops
A rosary bends in different directions during prayer. The links will turn without a problem when they are smooth and round. Angled or long, narrow banana-shaped loops will cause the rosary to kink. Good quality rosaries also have uniform loop sizes on both sides of the beads.
Integrity
Unhooked links around the beads are a common structural problem for rosaries. The weight of the beads adds stress to its links. Properly- secured loops need to be tight at every connection. Yet, they will only stay in place if the wire is stiff and strong enough to hold its shape. Loose bead rings are decorative and will not secure the rosary.
CONNECTORS
We secure the Crucifixes and centers on our rosaries with one of three methods.
1. Jump Rings
Our sturdy nickel-plated brass jump rings are heavy-duty and will not let the chain slip through.
2. Wrapped Bows
Wrapped bows have a stem of stacked wire with open loops on each end. Even heavy beads will stay in place with these.
3. Wrapped Bow-Ties
We also use bow-tie connections. They are similar to our wrapped bows only with a small bead at the center.
