HANDY CHECKLIST
Our 5 top tips will help you identify the essential elements of a good quality rosary.
1
BEADS
Avoid flaws like chips, bubbles, or shape inconsistencies.
2
OUR FATHER BEADS
The Our Father Bead should not feel like part of the Hail Mary bead groups. Also, a different shape, size, or colour will help them stand apart.
3
CONSTRUCTION
Strong, rounded loops allow the movements of the beads during prayer. Knots on strung rosaries should allow space for the Hail Mary beads to move.
4
CONNECTIONS
Connections are a key element of any rosary. The jump-rings or bows need to be sturdy and smooth to the touch.
5
SYMMETRY
The sections of beads should line up evenly.

The LOGO image of Our Lady of Grace is original artwork by Martin Lariviere in 2009. We have the artist’s permission (my son). It is our exclusive trademark logo image.
A beautifully photographed sky by Donald Tong inspired the website’s colour scheme. Cropped portions of it are the background for the footer Bible verse. He shared it as a free download on pexels.com.
Raphael painted The Sistine Madonna circa (1513-1514). We made circular cut-outs from the original image.
