Precisa de uma tira de papel (ou um fio ou um atacador), uma caneta e uma régua.
- Pegue num fio ou num atacador e marque nele o comprimento que está a considerar, por exemplo 50 cm.
- Junte as duas marcas atrás do pescoço, vestindo o tipo de roupa que costuma usar.
- Olhe-se ao espelho: o ponto mais baixo do fio é onde a corrente vai ficar.
- Demasiado alto ou demasiado baixo? Experimente 5 cm a mais ou a menos: é um tamanho acima ou abaixo.
Já tem uma corrente de que gosta? Estique-a numa superfície plana, com o fecho fechado, e meça-a de ponta a ponta. Com um pescoço ou um peito largos, cada comprimento fica um pouco mais acima.
Não tem régua? Um cartão bancário mede 8,6 cm de comprimento: conte quantos cabem ao longo da tira.

Como usar
This long necklace measures 65 to 70 cm, so it slips over the head without a clasp and the 42 x 30 mm cross falls low on the chest. That length looks natural over a sweater, a hoodie or a loose linen shirt. Many people also wrap it in the hand or keep it in a pocket for a moment of quiet.
Keep it dry: take it off before a shower, a swim or the gym, and keep perfume away from the stones. The black agate versions are the most sober; tiger eye and patterned agate bring warmth. It suits Father's Day or Christmas.
Perguntas
What is the difference between Bright Black Agate and Matte Black Agate?
The surface. Bright Black Agate is polished to a shine, Matte Black Agate has a soft, non-reflective finish that looks more understated.
Which stone colors are there?
Six: Bright Black Agate, Matte Black Agate, Purple Patterned Agate, Lake Blue Tiger Eye, Red Tiger Eye and Yellow Tiger Eye.
Can I pray the rosary with it?
You can hold it while you pray, but it is a rosary-style necklace with a cross, not a traditional rosary with five decades and a center medal.
Where does the 42 x 30 mm cross of The Meditative Rosary sit?
On the lower chest. The strand is 65 to 70 cm (about 25.5 to 27.5 in) and slips over the head, so the cross hangs well below the collar.
Which Meditative Rosary stone looks most sober on a man?
Matte Black Agate, which does not reflect light. Bright Black Agate is shinier, and the tiger eye colors are warmer and more visible.
What is tiger eye on The Meditative Rosary?
A natural stone with silky bands that shimmer as the bead turns. Here it comes in yellow, red and lake blue; like the agates, keep it dry and wipe it with a soft cloth.
Spinal surgery put me flat on my back for 4 months. I used to be busy all the time, now I've got nothing but ceiling. I thought this would be a good time to pray more, but I just can't focus. Anybody else?
Plenty of people have looked at a ceiling and discovered that prayer is much harder without the distraction of being busy. Pain and boredom do not make good monks. That is what beads were made for: they give the hands a job so the mind can come and go. No one is scoring this. The Meditative Rosary, is a strand of polished stone beads ending in a plain cross, something to hold while praying. Try one bead and one name. A person you love, an Our Father, on to the next. Some days prayer will not come. One bead, then another, and the quiet slowly returns. 'Be still' turned out to be harder than it looks.

O seu significado
Beads to hold during prayer
Counting prayers on beads or knots is an old Christian habit.
Early monks are said to have kept count with pebbles or knotted cords, and the medieval rosary grew out of the same need to keep hands and mind on prayer. Many people still find that holding a bead helps them stay with a prayer instead of drifting. This long necklace follows the look of a rosary: polished natural stone beads in tiger eye, agate or haematite, ending in a 42 by 30 mm cross. At 65 to 70 cm, it slips over the head...
Para oferecer
For a father who likes natural stone, this is a good Father's Day gift. It also fits under the Christmas tree for a friend who wants beads to hold while praying, in a color of their choosing.
