A rosary is a string of beads that is used as a tool for prayer.

There are many types of rosaries available, including traditional rosaries made of wood, plastic or metal beads, as well as specialty rosaries such as wedding rosaries, birthstone rosaries, and auto rosaries.

Rosaries can be made of a variety of materials including wood, plastic, glass, metal, and even precious stones such as pearls.

A chaplet is a smaller version of a rosary, usually consisting of only one or two decades (10 or 20 beads) and used to pray specific prayers, while a rosary consists of five decades (50 beads) and is used to pray the full set of mysteries.

Yes, many rosary stores offer customizations such as different bead types, colors, and personalization with names or initials.

To care for your rosary, it is recommended to keep it in a protective case or pouch when not in use, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture, and gently clean it with a soft cloth if needed.
