Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 50 cm.
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.

How to wear it
This rosary pairs marbled brown beads with an antiqued bronze-tone chain, a warm, aged look that feels traditional in the hand. It is made for daily prayer: keep it in a pocket, a bag or by the bed, or drape it over a nightstand crucifix or a family photo.
The imitation agate beads and alloy links should stay dry and away from perfume, so take it off before a shower or the gym. It suits a confirmation or the first communion of an older child, Easter, or a gentle gift in memory of a loved one.
Questions
What are the beads made of?
Imitation agate: brown marbled beads that look like natural stone. The links, centerpiece and crucifix are antiqued bronze-tone alloy.
How many decades does The Saint Benedict Rosary have?
Five, as a full rosary: each decade of Hail Marys is counted on the marbled brown beads, between the Saint Benedict centerpiece and the crucifix.
Will water dull the antiqued bronze tone of The Saint Benedict Rosary?
It can. The links, centerpiece and crucifix are alloy with an antiqued bronze-tone finish, so keep the rosary dry and away from perfume.
Are the brown agate-look beads of The Saint Benedict Rosary suitable for a grieving family?
Yes. The warm, aged tones stay sober, and the rosary gives someone in mourning something to hold while praying for the person they lost.
Can a non-Catholic use a rosary?
Yes. The rosary is mainly a Catholic prayer, but its prayers come from Scripture, and anyone who respects it can pray with one.
Who can bless The Saint Benedict Rosary, and is it required?
Any priest or deacon can bless it, often after Mass, but it is not required. It arrives unblessed, and many Catholics simply like to have a new rosary blessed before using it.
The prayer
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The Hail Mary (Ave Maria), the traditional Marian prayer drawn from the Gospel of Luke

Its meaning
The rosary and the medal of Saint Benedict
The rosary leads through the mysteries of the lives of Christ and Mary in five decades of Hail Marys, each opened by an Our Father and closed by a Glory Be. Here the centerpiece and the crucifix carry the medal of Saint Benedict, whose cross and Latin initials ask God's protection against evil. Saint Benedict, a sixth-century monk, wrote the Rule still followed by Benedictine communities. Many Catholics keep such a rosary by the bed or in a pocket. This one has brown marbled beads in imitation agate on antiqued bronze-tone alloy links, with a...
