I make my own rosaries, so I have no excuse not to take one with me everywhere!
 
I make mine, too, but mostly use my fingers especially when walking during the winter. When biking during the summer my attention is needed on the other bikers, pedestrians and car drivers. There is a rosary in my backpack but I use it very seldom, fingers come in more handy for keeping track of the Hail Mary´s.

I just had the issue where I had two things on one chain; a crucifix and a oval shaped medal. They overlapped and in a very short time the shiny finish on the crucifix began to get dull, where it rubbed against the medal. This was a solid 10k yellow gold cross, and solid 14k yellow gold medal. The medal wasn’t effected at all. My wife suggested using something on the chain to act as a spacer. Like a gold ball or tube. I haven’t tried that. I have a bigger problem with my scapular getting tangled in the chain my crucifix is on. It’s always something.

I have a rosary with me pretty much everywhere I go. I carry a couple in my purse, one in my work bag, a couple in my car and I have at least 20 at home. The only time I wouldn’t have one handy is if I don’t take my purse with me.
 
Other, I have my ten fingers and can say the rosary in my head…plus I have a rosary ring in my bag. It’s more durable to carry around. I do have my rosary with me on occasion, such as today when I took it to church to pray it. I pray it every day so it’s definitely my thing but I dont want to lose it and I would not hold it praying while walking down the road or sitting on a bus so I just use my head and fingers or the ring if I am feeling foggy headed and fear losing count.

I have learned to try to keep them away from my earbuds though…
 
I have three things on the same chain. One 14k White Gold and two Sterling Silver. Mine aren’t scratched or dulled at all. 🤔

Get a rosary pouch
 
Thank you. I’m sure you can find them online. I got mine at my parish gift shop.
 
That one is similar to the one I have, except there is a gold cross stamped on the side of mine. The embroidered Chi-Rho on yours looks awesome.

I was disappointed. It made me doubt that the crucifix wasn’t plated or filled. The cross was supposed to be solid, and Body of Jesus, rhodium. First they told me it was white gold. I ended up returning it within a week, because of my doubt.
 
Years ago I use to carry Rosary Beads

However, after breaking and repairing my favorite pair, I changed to a Rosary Ring

But, now I can use my fingers just as easily, so I don’t bother anymore
