What is a rosary bracelet?

A rosary bracelet is a single decade rosary designed to be worn on the wrist. It is made from 10 Ave (Hail Mary) beads and one Pater (Our Father) bead, with a cross or crucifix and often a miraculous or saint medal. Some include an entire 5 decade rosary, usually on a coil of memory wire.

I like the idea of a rosary bracelet. You can have it with you at all times, and it encourages spontaneous prayer. And like other religious jewelry, it can make a "statement". Even though the basic design elements of the rosary bracelet are pre-determined, the variations are endless. You can use crystal, glass, gemstones, pearls...
