The vintage rosaries were handed out to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces in the World War I era over 100 years ago. Our rosaries very closely reproduce the historical rosary design. It is beautiful yet made to withstand the harsh environments of war. - 【CRAFTSMANSHIP】These WWI Battle Beads Rosaries are handmade by the Rugged Rosaries’ artisans in our Texas studio since 2012. These are beautifully made combat style rosaries, not mass-produced! We use brass ball chains with silver patina. They are strong, non-magnetic, non-corrosive, and weighty feeling. The Our Father beads are slightly larger to aid your meditative prayer. The beads glide smoothly through your fingers. - 【SIZE】The overall length of these rosaries is 21.5 inches. They can be worn, but also bunch up nicely to carry in your pocket as these beads don’t kink, or tangle up, like ordinary jewelry style rosaries. The St. Benedict crucifix is of the highest quality and has great detail and is 2.25 inches tall. The Our Lady Miraculous Center Medal is 1 inch. - 【GIFT PACKAGE】This strong and durable rosary makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift for Catholic men, women, and teens for years to come. It is packaged in a Rugged Rosaries round box which is great for gift giving and storage. - 【BRAND】Rugged Rosaries is your trusted source for Roman Catholic gifts since 2012. Our sincerest prayer is that with Our Lady's loving intercession and grace, each rosary will provide strength, comfort, peace, and hope to those seeking the Lord's will.

When we work with these beads in our studio, we toss out any that do not have a nice tight seam on them. I've seen other brands here on Amazon that have gaping seams. Just look at the zoomed in photos and you'll see the difference in what I mean. Our Gunmetal version of this rosary has some finishing on it that really hides the seams altogether. This one, is naturally silver because the beads are stainless steel so they will never tarnish and there is no plating that will wear off over time like other brands. They stay looking nice even with long term use. And remember, we stand behind our product with excellent customer service which we are known for, so if you do find a problem with your rosary, we can replace it promptly. Thank you so much for asking and for your interest in the WWI Battle Beads. --- Rugged Rosaries **Q: This gift is for non-Catholic. Does it come with instructions on how to pray the Rosary?** A: Yes it does... wonderful gift **Q: Is this a "loud" rosary? i have a silver one from roman catholic man, and the jingling it makes is distracting when i use it in church.** A: The beads are not solid on the chain so they do move around , they are also hollow so it may be louder than the one you have ??? **Q: Is the cross and St. Benedict piece also made of 100% stainless that won't wear away?** A: Yeah. With this particular model you can get either the St. Benedict cross or traditional pardon crucifix. But TBH I would put down the money for a real combat rosary. They're more expensive but the are much more heavy duty.
