A handmade rosary is better quality, sturdier, and more unique than a mass-produced one. It is an investment in a reliable rosary.

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.
