More Details

The first thing to notice about the St. Michael Shield Rosary is its weight and ruggedness.  Heavy-duty wire and chain secure the hematite beads.  The Crucifix and center have sturdy loops, attached by wrapped bows.  The front of the medal says “St. Michael, protect us.” On the back, it says, “St. Michael, defend us in battle.”

Handmade Catholic items by Our Lady of Grace Rosaries are designed to be cherished and built to endure.

How to Shop Like a Savvy Rosary Shopper

What to Notice

The Beads

BEADS are a key element in rosary design because they occupy the most space. The type of beads and their size and quality make a difference in the durability and final cost of the rosary.

CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS

The WIRE type, quality, and technique affect the overall value of a rosary.  Wire-wrapping takes more than twice the wire but it will never come unhooked.  Avoid investing in a rosary with nicks or dents in the wire.  The quality of other metal components like the CHAIN, CAPS, and JUMP RINGS add to its durability.

Crucifix and Center Medal

The material and metal content of the CRUCIFIX and CENTER MEDAL will affect the quality of a rosary.  Look for sturdy loops, a feeling of weight, and clarity of detail.

It's in the Details

When loops are rounded and closed, they will work well with the movements of the beads during prayer.  Pay attention to how well the rosary is attached at the center medal and Crucifix loops.   Notice how well the component sizes and colours complement the overall look of the rosary.
