Handcrafted Rosary Size Chart and Usage Guide

 

 Important Notes:

·        All rosaries are handcrafted, so sizes may vary from the measurements provided.

·        Our rosaries are generally larger than mass-produced commercial rosaries.

·        Extended lengths offer more versatility and may suit different prayer styles or aesthetic preferences.

·        One-Decade Chaplets vary significantly in size and design.

·        Beads in all categories are available in various shapes, including but not limited to round, oval, faceted, cube, and more.

·        Faceted beads will typically feel smaller in hand than smooth beads of the same size:

o   8mm faceted beads feel like 7-7.5mm smooth beads, depending on the faceting

o   10mm faceted beads feel like 9-9.5mm smooth beads

o   12mm faceted beads feel like 11-11.5mm smooth beads

·        The depth of faceting (standard facet vs. microfacet) affects how much smaller the bead feels.

·        Design elements can significantly affect the overall size and feel:

o   Smooth caps can make rosaries shorter and more compact.

o   Ornate caps can make rosaries feel larger or more substantial.

o   Extra-large medals can make rosaries feel more substantial regardless of bead size.

·        The combination of bead size, shape, faceting, cap style, and additional elements determines the final size and feel of each rosary.

·        Custom sizes and shapes are available upon request.
