I’m not sure if it’s called a rosary bracelet, but I’ve seen one that has square images of different saints and each saint that makes up the bracelet is connected by two beads. Someone told me over time as the squares fall off - the one that is left is your saint. All this is second hand though…

Hi Crystal,

I ocassionally use my rosary bracket to pray. I have also made these rosary bracelets for friends/family. It is a rosary in all sense, but has just one decade of beads. Like a bracelet it has a clasp so you can open it up too. Some are made on an elastic band. The ones I make begin with a tiny cross, then 4 beads, then a medal and next a decade of beads, and ends with a clasp which can hook on to the medal. Some bracelets are made with medals, some with simple large beads and some with swarovski crystals which are too beautiful to describe- the latter are what I make.
It’s smaller to carry around or can be worn as a bracelet, and I see many people hanging one on the front mirror of their car.
If you google " rosary bracelets images" you’d get a better idea from the images.

I wear my rosary bracelet everyday, and I often use it to pray while I’m driving.

My bracelet is based on a design I saw my friend use on hers. I made mine using “memory” wire I got at the bead store. The wire retains its circular shape and can hold enough beads for an entire rosary. We put a crucifix at the beginning, followed by the 1 - 3 - 1 set of beads, and then the five decades, and a miraculous medal at the end.

If you are considering making a rosary bracelet for yourself or someone else, know that the size of the beads and spacers between the beads determines the number of circles in the rosary bracelet. Mine goes around my wrist exactly three times, but my son’s (with tiny black and red beads) only went around one and a half times.

Sorry I don’t have a picture to share.

I found a picture online that looks almost exactly like the one I made:

I have a rosary bracelet the beads look like little roses… there is 1 decade. Yes, I sometimes use it to pray the Rosary or the Divine Mercy chaplet. It’s good if you’re travelling, etc

I have two. I will try to describe:

The first is a single decade of medium size beads along with the Our Father bead, a Crucifix and another medal.

The other one is a whole rosary of very small beads. It is doubled up so when it is hooked it is like a whole rosary folded in half to make a double stranded bracelet.

I do wear them. I don’t usually pray the rosary on the beads themselves. They are more to remind me to pray the rosary on my “regular” beads or even on my fingers when driving.

I make stretchy ones with large seed beads, arranged like a regular rosary.(link) Since a large seed bead is still pretty small, they’re a bit harder to use than a standard rosary. I wear them more as a reminder to pray

This is what my rosary bracelet is. The beads are red. My mom got it for me years ago when I had no intention of joining the CC. However, I always loved wearing it. God has funny ways of bringing you home and me wearing that when I didn’t think the CC was for me was definetly one of them.

Here is a picture of a rosary bracelet I made. I used austrian crystal aves (topaz amber color), an amethyst for the pater, and sterling cross and findings.

I never got to use it to pray as I gave it away as a gift. I tend to use a full rosary which I carry in my purse when I leave the house.
