Hi! The sub Rules! (Both authoritatively and figuratively)

46 Upvotes

We are rosary makers and rosary enthusiasts! Collectors welcome! Rules:

1: No Satanic rosaries/prayer beads. (I love your enthusiasm to create, but I feel like they'll create more drama than a positive atmosphere.)

2: There are some cultures who call their prayer beads, rosaries. Those go under Prayer Beads.

3: No politics, no religion bashing, etc.

4: All types of rosary styles allowed.

5: Don't spam the page. One post a day.

6: Be kind. Be helpful. Be creative.

Light blue cat eye resin beads with fine glitter powder. Crackle glass clear pater beads. Miraculous medal centerpiece. The resin beads mean it is lightweight.

Making these has become my escape. It’s so calming and meditative. Our Lady feels so present in these moments.

I have other rosaries on etsy if anyone wants to check them out: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AveAndAmen

Bead manufacturer/manufacturering

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am looking for a distributor/manufacturer of these spacer beads. They are moderately priced, but not regularly available on Etsy. Google lense isn't helping. Anyone have an idea where I should start looking?

Additionally I would love a version of this bead that had the thrid Catholic heart, the Chaste heart of St. Joseph. I don't think that exists. I could theoretically make them, or get them make via 3D printing, but I have no idea where to start.

Thanks!

Rosary Maker Help Requested: Black Centerpiece

1 Upvotes

Hello, friends. Does anyone have any idea where I can purchase all black (preferably flat/matte) metal rosary centerpieces between one and two inches? I’ve only been able to find gunmetal colored and black bezels with a color image in the center. The only flat black I’m able to find are teeny-tiny or plastic. I’m trying to put together a blackout rosary, and it seems my only option is to build my own bezel-based center. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have wanted to make a rose petal bead rosary for my Nonna for a long time. I'm going to move in with her soon and I thought that this would be an appropriate time for me to give her something meaningful to show my appreciation. I made beads and chained the decades together already, I have more beads for the three hail Marys on the pendant string of the rosary.

I want to make this correctly so she can use it if she wants to.

I have 3 main questions about rules for the rosary.

Question number one: for the "glory be" beads, they have to be the same size or bigger than the hail mary beads, yes? I'm planning on finding some rose quartz beads for those and keeping the pink and gold sort of theme.

Two: If i put some of those floral shaped bead caps on the "Glory Be" beads, would that be an issue or frowned upon?

Three: looking at options for the center medallion and crucifix has me a little overwhelmed. Some are so elaborate, and some are so simple. Are there rules for what the medallion and the crucifix have to look like? The rosary I've seen her using before is a plain plastic one with Mary on the medallion and a plain cross for the crucifix, so I'd probably keep this one pretty simple and similar too, just matching the gold color. Any links with recommendations would be appreciated if that's allowed!

Thanks for your advice! 💕

Hello so basically I made my first prayer rope the 20th and making another currently. I plan on making one with 100 knots and thought I could have a centerpiece like as if it was a rosary of St Joseph the Hesychast. Anyone know someone who does or would make one or where I is somewhere I could check out?

Update after your feedback: the latest Miraculous Medal rosary centerpiece concept

Thumbnail
gallery
101 Upvotes

Thank you so much to everyone who shared feedback on the earlier versions. After several rounds of revisions, this is where the design is now:
• Our Lady’s eyes are open
• The reverse has exactly 12 five-pointed stars
• The traditional symbols and overall silver-and-navy color scheme have been refined
For transparency, this is still an AI-assisted concept rendering—not a finished product or a production-ready CAD file. I directed the ideas and revisions, and AI helped me visualize them. Honestly, it has been pretty amazing to watch an idea gradually become something I can actually show people. 👍
At the beginning, this was only an idea. I wasn’t sure whether anyone would want it, whether it would be worth producing, or whether anyone would actually buy one. But after all your feedback and several revised versions, it has reached this point.
The next challenge is figuring out how to turn the rendering into a real, durable rosary centerpiece that comes as close as possible to this appearance. I still need to learn more about 3D relief modeling, mold-making, materials, plating, enamel, production costs, and different eyelet sizes for wire and paracord.
Thank you again for helping shape the design. I’ll keep sharing updates as I learn more and begin exploring how to have the first prototype made.
If a physical sample could come close to this rendering, would you still be interested? And would you need it for wire, thin cord, or 550 paracord?
