About Sam's Rosaries

Sam's Rosaries

Finally!! a rosary that does not break with generous spacing between beads so you do not lose count whilst reciting the rosary

We have been building rosaries for over 20 years. It all started with me repairing my friend Sam's rosaries, they were always breaking. After about the 7th cycle of repairs on Sam's rosaries I decided to dismantle the rosary and re-build it from scratch. I wrapped the wire around each end of the beads so the beads could not come apart, this method also lengthens the space between the beads. It does take a long time to wire wrap a rosary (approximately 5 hours in total) but the end result is worth it. Not only do the rosaries not come apart, the spacing between the beads is more generous so you do not lose count when reciting the rosary (another common complaint). Wire wrapped rosaries are more expensive initially (because they take a long time to build) but our rosaries are a one time purchase so the investment is worth it. There are no hidden nasties in the metals we use and we only use high quality parts. There are only a handful of rosary makers worldwide who use the wire wrapped method making our rosaries unique and extra special.
