More Details
The beads we chose for the Saint Benedict Job’s Tears Rosary are organic seeds, grown chemical-free right in our garden. These hardy seeds have been cultivated for millennia, dating back to ancient Egypt. Their natural teardrop shape allows them to move effortlessly through your fingers as you pray. The hard, thick outer shell becomes shinier with use, making the rosary more beautiful the more it is handled.
Because these are natural seeds, the size, shape, and shade will vary slightly from one rosary to the next. We hand-selected the smaller seeds for this specific design to complement the sizes of the Crucifix and Center Medal. To put it in perspective, they average about the same size as a 7 mm bead. For the Pater (Our Father) beads, we chose slightly larger seeds to make them easier to distinguish by touch, enhancing your prayer experience.
While machine-made rosaries often use thinner wire to accommodate the manufacturing process, a handmade rosary like this one utilizes sturdier wire to create firm loops that stay securely in place. This rosary is exceptionally reliable and offers a unique, organic feel.
About Job's Tears
All Natural
We grow these seeds without the use of any products. As a result, we often have little friends in our garden. This sweet grasshopper posed for a photo.
How We Select Them
Since the seeds are natural, their appearance varies a little. We take time to match up the sizes and shapes for each rosary. We like variations in the shades of grey and beige because they add to the natural look of the rosary. The seeds we choose have durable, healthy shells.
What Makes Them Shiny?
A unique feature of these seeds is that the oils of the hands of the person praying with them make them shinier. For most people, rosaries made with our seeds will turn a shiny grey with time. Sometimes they will darken the more you pray with them. I have a friend whose rosary beads turned rich, chestnut brown.
