More Details
The Roses for Our Lady Pocket-Sized Rosary is wire-wrapped. The flower beads are carved wood. They are stained and coated with layers of resin-based polymer. Although they are the same colour as Cinnabar, they are nontoxic. We wrapped them with stainless steel beads for stability. A heavy chain connects them.
Crown of Roses
Saint Louis de Montfort wrote that the word Rosary means a Crown of Roses. When we pray it devoutly, we are placing a crown of heavenly roses on the heads of Jesus and Mary that will never fade or lose their beauty. Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they pray a Hail Mary, they give her a beautiful rose, and each complete Rosary makes a crown of roses. We love the symbolism of this rosary.
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.
