Catholica Shop I Catholic Religious Bracelets with San Benito St Benedict Medal Rosary Beads I Wood Center Medal and Cross I Catholic Presents Bracelets for Men and Women I Religious Mens Bracelet

I LOVE this rosary bracelet because it isn't just one decade and it's beautiful!!! Most decade bracelets don't fit me because my wrist is larger; it's adjustable. I've given this bracelet as a gift to several men in my family, and they love it. I have not found another anywhere that compares to this one. "I wish they would make the St. Benedict bracelet with the metal medal in the darker cherry color" is my son's comment. For us, it is not an ornament; it is sacramental that we pray and need every day. I just purchased a couple more. Blessings to the hands that make them.

I am a non denomination christian and energy worker and thought I'd add this to my collection the detail is super magically arrived sooner than expected. Will definitely be praying with these and I added a necklace to look more mystifying. A lot of religion forbids magic and is wrongfully guided it is no where sinful for a christian to practice magic in fact masonry does have the pentacle Jesus and the catholic cross. He whom judges has no authority to judge but God or his Son himself. I am a self taught enthusiast and MIGHT open up my own church for the magical arts and all types of spiritual religion but yeah if you want some prayer beads definitely real cool be blessed under the protection of God and his son alone and receive there riches and glory!

Although this is a beautiful rosary bracelet, the front side of the Saint Benedict medal is missing some letters. On one side of St. Benedict it should be EIVS IN OBITV NRO PRAE, but instead it reads as EVS NOBTVNO PRA (letters are hard to read, not in the proper place and missing I, I, I, R, E). The other side of the Saint should be SENTIA MVNIAMVR, but instead it reads as SENTI MVNIMVR (missing two A’s). The back of the medal is accurate and it has the correct number of beads, so that’s good. I gave it 2 stars because of the fast shipping, it is beautiful and it came in a beautiful red jewelry gift bag and prayer card. But overall, I’m unsure if it is effective as a medal. I ordered two, one for me and one for my wife. We will be keeping them since we can pray with them, but I am disappointed.

This is odd. I have reviewed this item already. First, I’ll say that I wear a rosary around my wrist. I lost one during the last hurricane. I was gifted one but I already need a new full size due to an altercation with a parrot. I’m simple. I like wood beads and twine. It serves to calm me. However it does get in the way during a quick clean up and I need to feel protection and healing around me right now. Out of curiosity, I looked for praying the rosary bracelets. I found many beautiful things. But not functional to truly pray the rosary. Not for a novice trying to find my way. I kept passing by this piece. It almost looked fake, plastic. Uniform beads. No personality. The pictures didn’t show any reference so I wasn’t sure if it opened all the way up, like the coin bracelet, but I suspected that it didn’t. I was correct. But only about that. About the bracelet I couldn’t have been more wrong. It appears sort of cheap looking because it’s so delicate that the picture is enlarged. The delicate little bracelet is something that I know I’ll end up with more of because I’m not gentle. It is absolutely exquisite. I don’t care that it doesn’t fully open because I need the guarding of St. Benedict. Rosary beads have always reminded me of my grandmother. And soothed me to touch and meditate. But I don’t recall or know enough to know about all of the saints. This bracelet chose me. The coin bracelet is shown on a wrist and looks like larger beads. Eventually I’ll get one. But this is the ONLY bracelet rosary that I found on amazon or otherwise that functions as a full 5 decade rosary. The crucifix. The central bead. This bracelet could only be improved by using a different clasp. I’m not well. My fingernails just peel. And the spring action for the lobster claw is so hard for me. Maybe a toggle version will come out. But I can’t tell you how delicate, dainty, and beautiful this is. Add in the fact that is so carefully madd as to be a rosary completely suitable for praying, should you find the need you have it right with you. I am not a product tester. I was not given this item and have had no communication with the seller. I’m just someone who says things exactly as I see them. If you don’t like the wood bead and twine style, maybe not for you. For me it seems so much more organic and durable. If it was just easier to take on and off!!! Update: 2 years later this bracelet is still holding up and I ordering I new one thinking I’d broken and lost it. Turns out there’s no reason to worry about the clasp. They actually slip over my wrist. Who knew? After 2 years this delicate little charming rosary is still intact and used and only comes off when I go into the water. I don’t know how they do it, but it’s a far cry better than wearing the long rosary wrapped around my wrist and having it dangling. And they always broke. And yet it has equal the number of decades. Amazing! I really can’t say enough of these. Not everyone wears their rosary around their wrist but for anyone else who does, try one of these. I don’t think you’ll toss out your full rosary, but you’ll love always having one with you any time you feel the need.

It seems very nice. It is perfect to wear, not so good for "use". I mean, it is really hard to take off/on. And the medal is really a sticker. Not sure if it will last too long on dayli use (take off/on, wash hands, etc).Muy bonito en diseño y apariencia. No es muy práctico para usar como rosario, ya que es muy difícil de sacar y volver a poner. La medalla realmente es una pegatina (no creo siquiera que se pueda bendecir como "medalla de protección") que difícilmente dure mucho tiempo con un uso diario, (poner y sacar, lavarse las manos, sudor, etc).

Es.muy linda y comoda.. un poco decepcionado con la medalla porque es de plastico. Seria mucho mejor de aluminio u otro materia

It's a great bracelet but very difficult to use as a rosary prayer beads. The beads are small and very closely strung, not enough space to slide the beads.

The Wood seems not last, I used to wear a Rosary all the time on my wrist, take a shower, beach, river, all kinds of things, and it last like 8 years, this one I'm wearing it about one week and it seems to deteriorate very fast, I know that it's not designed to wear all the time, but I made a promise that I never take it off a Rosary from my wrist.

Good quality. Worth the price.
