So… I wear my rosary all of the time, is that okay? I pray it every day, and I don’t wear it JUST for fashion, but to keep it with me. (although I have to admit it does look cool.):cool:
 
Sure you can wear your Rosary for devotional reasons, but you should’nt wear it as a fashion accessory because the Rosary is a Sacramental and not a fashion necklace.

I agree. And, when you are wearing it, you may be more likely to remember to pray it.
 
FYI - Lenten Rosaries -

many of those in my parish devoted to the rosary didn’t know this, but for all the days of Septuagesima & Lent the tradition is that only the sorrowful mysteries should be prayed…

It all depends on your purpose and how you wear the rosary. The rosary is a sacramental, not some “good luck” charm. Under NO circumstances is the rosary to be worn or treated like a piece of jewlery. Making it into some sort of fashion statement is sinful, and offensive to Catholics.

Yes, it certainly looks beautiful. When I go out, I’ll wear it sometimes.

If a person wears the rosary prayerfully, respectfully, as a statement of faith, for protection against the enemy, to keep it handy for praying throughout the day, and as a constant reminder for us of our faith, then YES you may wear the rosary around your neck.

Yes… unfortunately in the area I live in, the rosary has become more of a fashion statement more than a sacramental, which is strange because everyone in this area is Protestant. It makes me mad, because they wear the wooden macreme ones after they have unravelled and sometimes even after the cross has fallen off :mad:
