This rosary was a big surprise as it was literally much bigger than I expected. However I never checked the size when I ordered. To my amazement after I tried it out the tactile experience is SO lovely it completely won me over. After thinking I don't want to "be showing off " using such a big and beautiful rosary I changed my mind. The rosary is what is intended a tool to aid prayer. It's not a piece of jewellery to be admired however it is stronger and better made than any of my jewellery and it doesn't have precious stones but the lovely murano glass beads that are so smooth and feel so good when handled that you can meditate so easily as they pass through your fingers - nothing to scratch or distract. The handmade craft artistry is everything you could ask for and I actually have never seen such gorgeously designed rosary beads anywhere not on my travels to France,Spain,Portugal, Italy or the Holy Land on various holidays or pilgrimages.
I am very happy with them.
