The Practical Side
Our lives can get busy. When we carry our rosaries in pockets and purses, we can forget our favourite rosary in our other jacket pocket. Many of us also carry a cell phone in our pocket and reach for it often during the day. We may not have room to also carry a rosary that way. Some rosaries can get jammed up in a tight pocket space.
Convenience
Rosary Bracelets make having a rosary on hand easier. They also express our faith and remind us to pray. When it is more convenient to have a rosary along, we are more likely to reach for prayer beads than a cell phone.
Rosary Bracelet Options
We have rosary bracelet designs to suit every need. Some are made for those who find it easier to pray with bracelets that have all five decades. Others are for easy wear. The beads can be glass, wood, or gemstones. They are available in various price ranges and styles.
Examples of Bracelets with the Beads of a Full Rosary
Convenience is Built into the Memory Wire Design
A rosary bracelet with the beads of a full rosary is one you can pray with ease. A memory wire design holds a coiled shape and fits like a bangle. I have lent my rosary to someone who forgot theirs and then used my bracelet for the prayers.
Stretch Design
This stretch bracelet has the beads of a full rosary. This convenient bracelet slides on and off with little effort.
TIP: A good fit should sit next to your wrist without leaving indent marks on your skin.
Specialty Design
This is our original rosary bracelet design. The clasp hooks onto any wrapped loop for a personalized fit. The layered look makes it fun to wear. It also doubles as a necklace. We designed it for a customer who wanted a comfortable rosary bracelet with delicate beads that opens to a full rosary.
Examples of Bracelets with the Beads of a Single Decade
The Popular Stretch Design
Stretch bracelets are available in several designs and sizes with a knotted elastic cord. We suggest pointing your fingers together before sliding them on to keep them like new.
Choosing the right size makes all the difference. A good fit should sit next to your wrist without leaving indent marks on your skin.
Sliding Knot Bracelets
These bracelets are comfortable to wear because they are easy to adjust for size. The knot slides wider to put it on and off.
Lobster Clasp Styles
Most rosary bracelets have a lobster clasp closure. Some of them have extra sizes built into the design. They usually have classic links but some are wire-wrapped. These durable bracelets will stay attached as you go about your day.
Specialty Designs
There are lots of unique rosary bracelets to be found. Some are wire-wrapped like the one in the photo. So much is available today that the rosary bracelet that is right for you can be found.
How to Measure for a Good Fit
How to Measure Your Wrist
Using a soft measuring tape, measure around your wrist at the wrist bone. Or, you can use a string or ribbon and then place it against a flat ruler for the size. When you measure for the finished fit, leave a little wiggle room.
We measure our bracelets the same way. We provide an estimated wrist size for a comfortable fit.
What is a Comfortable Fit?
A bracelet should not be so tight that the beads leave indent marks on your skin. If it dangles too much, it could get caught on something and break. It should be loose enough to feel like a comfortable fit.
Comparing to Your Favourite Bracelet
To find a comparable fit, hold your arm up with the bracelet on. Measure your arm at that spot to get a fit with the precise wiggle room you like.

IN REVIEW
Here are 3 tips to measure your wrist for a bracelet for a good fit:
- Use a soft measuring tape (or something like a string or ribbon).
- Measure at the wrist bone.
- Leave a little wiggle room for a good fit.
IN SUMMARY: a bracelet should not be so tight that it leaves indent marks on your skin. If it dangles too much, it could get caught on something.
*NOTE: When buying a bracelet online, it should have a wrist-size measurement rather than a length.
