Rosary Categories: Shopping Made Easier
Wire-Wrapped Rosaries
Wire wrapping looks like they have stacked rings on either side of the beads. They are generally sturdier, and the links will not come unhooked. These rosaries are easier to handle because the extra wraps add space between the beads. Click on the photo to see more.
Cage-Wrapped Rosaries
While cage-wrapping also has stacks of rings on each side of the beads, it is different from the usual way we wrap the wire. We add extra detail to the rosary with one more step. With a gentle swirl of wire, we accent the beads. Click for more.
Sacrament & Anniversary Gifts
We make several rosaries specific to the sacraments. Click on the photo to see some of the ones we make.
Glass Dome Centers
We match our glass dome centers to the beads as closely as possible. The result is a unique rosary. Click for more.

IN REVIEW
These old-world seeds are called Job’s Tears for two reasons. First, they have their name in memory of the many tears shed by Job in Old Testament times. Secondly, they grow in a natural teardrop shape.
The scientific term for Job’s Tears is coix lacryma-jobi.
The plants look like a cross between corn and grass. It makes it difficult to weed them in the spring because they look so much like grass when they are young. They can grow to about six feet tall.
Mother Teresa loved to pray with rosaries made with Job’s Tears seeds. She liked that they are humble and grow wild in the ditches of India.
Job’s Tears seeds are natural and will not match perfectly. The shades will vary from beige to grey, but the sizes should match up fairly well.
Damaged seeds are usually white or pale grey with a wrinkled texture. You will want durable, healthy shells on your rosary seeds. Check the seeds carefully for cracks, chips or noticeable black spots.
A unique feature of Job’s Tears seeds is that the oils of the hands of the person praying with them will make them shinier. For most people, rosaries will turn a shiny grey with time. For some people, they will turn a rich, chestnut brown.
