About Rosary Beads The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood writes that the Virgin Mary encourages the faithful to wear the rosary and scapular because "it will help them to love Jesus more" and serve as a "protection from Satan."In addition, Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort encouraged Christians to wear the rosary, stating that doing so "eased him considerably." Many religious orders wear the rosary as part of their habit. A rosary hanging from the belt often forms part of the Carthusian habit. Canon Law §1171 provides that sacred objects, which are designated for divine worship by dedication or blessing, are to be treated reverently and are not to be employed for profane or inappropriate use even if they are owned by private persons.As such, according to Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy at the Regina Apostolorum university:If the reason for wearing a rosary is as a statement of faith, as a reminder to pray it, or some similar reason "to the glory of God," then there is nothing to object to. They are never mere jewelry but are worn as a sign of faith. Product Type Five-decade rosary Product Size Total length 40 inches. The circumference of the wearable part is 32inch

INCOMPLETE ROSARY
I would have given negative stars if possible. I always thought I could only buy Catholic items from Catholic stores as I have done in the past. So I was really excited to see these on Amazon. I ordered two and one arrived incomplete!. It has only four decades of the rosary instead of five as shown by the picture. Considering the monetary value of the item, the return process is not efficient for me because it defeats the purpose of ordering online as it would require me to first print a return label and then leave my house to drop off the item with an Amazon shipping partner for return. This is so disappointing and inconvenient!!!! I had planned to order more of these for my family members, however the possibility of receiving a defective item and going through the inconvenience of returning or losing money is very discouraging.Follow Up:I just found out this morning that the 2nd of the two rosaries is missing one of the decade beads. See 2nd attached picture. So I have ordered a replacement of both since there is a UPS Pick Up option for the items being returned - essentially a cost-free return which kind of helps.

Cheap and Crappy
Arrived incorrectly assembled and not wearable. I had to fix it with jewelry repair tools, but it’s still not 100% right. Luckily I’m just using this one day for a Halloween nun costume. This rosary is Not nice enough to use for its true purpose.

A Rosary is a Rosary is a Rosary
It's a satisfactory rosary. It's very light and there are pros as well as cons with that. In general it doesn't appear to be sturdy, but you get what you pay for.
