It seems to me I have seen one made this way but it has been years ago.
It looks like it would be very strong and difficult to break, which is great.
So many rosaries come a part so easily.

I bet it tooks some time to make all those twists. Looks like a great job.

Yes it did take a while about two weeks working a little each night. The only down fall to the twists is it makes it an oversized rosary. When I put it around my neck the crucifix hangs nearly to my waist.
 
I’m happy to see a fellow rosary creator here! I have always loved making stone jewelry, but when I converted about nine months ago, I switched to rosaries. I do the twisted metal on all of my rosaries. It bothers me that most rosaries are made so cheaply–plastic beads, fake ‘pearls’–when they are our prayer supports (especially since the cheaply made ones are still expensive!). I only make my rosaries with real stone beads: amethyst, garnet, tiger eye, goldstone, brownstone, etc. or glass beads, and I just bought olive wood beads from Jerusalem because my husband wanted me to make him a rosary with olive wood beads. It is such a soothing hobby for me! I love love love making my rosaries! We have a ton of rosaries in our house now, so I’m making them for friends and for our parish to sell or give to people. 🙂
 
They are beautiful Mark. I bet this brings you much joy. I especially enjoyed the two you made for your anniversary.
 
I just started making them in February they are bringing me out of a life of a very bad addiction to (sorry to say) porn. I wish i had the money to make mine out of better material but alas I don’t but for now plastic will have to do. I also made one from olive wood I gave it to my best friend for the baptism of his son shortly after they adopted him

Thank u now all I beds to do is teach my wife the rosary she’s not quite ready yet. They are special to her anyway because we went to Ireland for our honeymoon
 
My grandfather made one for my grandmother that way. Circa 1943. He took rocks he found at the beach filed them down into beads, drilled holes in them, wired them together. He even carved the Cross out of a beach rock. I think they are all white quartz.

That must be quite beautiful.

I had one made from watermelon seeds with some kind of hard coating over them.

And I have seen others made of little hard seeds of some kind.
