Single Decade Rosary

Handmade from heavy-duty Japanese chainmail stainless steel and shining gemstone beads, this eight-inch rosary is finished with an Italian-made silver plated crucifix, and tough enough for real use by real kids. Comes with lobster clasp for a bracelet, or with a belt clasp for a small fee. A perfect gift for baptisms, Confirmations, and First Holy Communions!
 
I'm a mother to four active children, and I know what kind of daily life challenges rosaries need to withstand. I wanted to build an equally hard-wearing rosary, with similar colorful beads and a heavy, touchable feel, but sized to fit a child's hands. I wanted this rosary to be an unbreakable chain of a mother's love.
 
Other rosaries contain links of base metal prone to breakage, so for mine I choose a stronger metal. My rosaries start with foundation of 5.8mm stainless steel rolo chain. Then I add sparkling beads on laboriously wrapped steel pins, and repeat this process for another seven inches, and link on a silver-plated Italian crucifix. The steel pins are difficult to work with, but I know that the hard work in my hands creates something lasting in yours. My customers have told me that my custom rosaries are the first their children have had that will last long enough to become heirlooms. That delights me!
