Description
The blue-green jasper Hail Mary beads and silvery spacers make this rosary feel light and airy, like you’re on a beach. Each bead is entirely unique; some more blue, others overcome with browns and oranges, like the tide washing upon a shore, smoothing out the rough shoreline. What are the stones and boulders in your life that Mary needs to wash over and smooth out so you can be a more perfect reflection of her Son?
The Our Father bead is a pure white, surrounded with beautifully detailed silver bead caps to remind you of Mary’s purity as a reflection of Jesus’ purity.
The crucifix is silver with shelled ends, reflecting the shape of Mary’s mantle on the centerpiece. Both serve as a reminder of the sea and for you to place your trust in Jesus through Mary to smooth out all your sufferings, mistrust, and sins.
O God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
——————–
At 16 inches long, with 8mm beads, these rosaries are about the same size as a standard rosary. The rosary is assembled with 49-strand steel beading wire, crimping beads, and wire protectors, so it is super strong.
Because this rosary is made with stone beads, it has a weight to it and retains ambient cooler room temperate, which is really awesome to feel when you’re praying; it always made me focus more on what I was saying. And then as you pray the stones warm up from your body heat.
Please remember that all things can break with excessive use. Under normal, conscientious use, this rosary will last a very long time, but, for instance, if you keep this rosary in a tight pocket every day, all day and get it crushed under you or against something, the small glass spacers can break and the steel wire will be under strain and can stretch and even break.
These repairs can be made, and I would be delighted to do so, but as time goes on, I might not have extra beads or I might be gone. So do be gentle and take good care of your rosary.

With a little bit of practice, you can easily undo/redo the clasp on this rosary bracelet so you can pray it anywhere. The short strand of beads makes it perfect for holding it in the palm of your hand and keeps it from getting caught on anything.
On the bracelet you have the Benedictine Crucifix (protection against demons and temptation in general) and the Miraculous Medal (Mary asked that all wear it).
Stylish, practical, and comfortable, this rosary bracelet has been my go-to rosary for months.
Bracelet measurements – I found the best way to measure my wrist size is to use my phone charger cable because it simulates the thickness of the beads when on the wrist. Wrap the cord around your wrist and make it a comfortable size. Mark (pencil/pen/sharpie) the cord, then measure it flat.
Choose the bracelet size closest to your measurement, rounding down as the beading wire will relax and get larger with constant wear, especially with showering.
7″ – average women’s size. The size in the photos. Fits snugly but not tight.
7.5″ – loose fit on an average wrist size.
8″ – snug fit on a larger wrist/average men’s size.
8.5″ – loose fit on a larger wrist/for men.
Feel free to ask for a specific size if these don’t work! Extra beads are added between the crucifix and clasp and are adjusted to order.
I will gladly accept returns/exchanges especially since this is a new item and with Christmas gifts you are buying for someone else! Contact me by within 30 days after delivery.

I love this rosary. It’s much sturdier than any other beaded rosary I’ve had. I take it with me when I run (I live close to a college campus with a replica grotto of Lourdes and trail with the stations of the cross– it’s the perfect place to say a rosary after clearing your head with some exercise!) and it has withstood being tightly packed into pockets and regularly cleaned after being handled with sweaty post-run hands.
Monica shows her artistic eye through the gorgeous materials she selects. The variations in the jasper beads are stunning and I love the way the shape of the crucifix and the medal compliment one another.
Shipping was prompt and secure, and Monica is a joy to follow on Instagram (I love her profiles of the saints on their feast days! I learn so much!).
This is a rosary I think I’ll have all of my life. Monica’s rosaries and chaplets would be wonderful gifts for confirmations, first communions, weddings, or other special occasions. I consider mine an heirloom that I’m going to want to pass on one day. The quality of the materials and thoughtfulness of the design do not disappoint!

I just received my Our Lady of Guadalupe rosary (I got the last one and is no longer on the website) and it is just beautiful! I love that the colors are very muted, much like this serenity rosary. Very well made. I am looking forward to buying a bracelet or single decade in the future. But first I’m checking out her artwork! Thank you, Monica!
