Rugged Rosary Review

The Rugged Rosary is the best made rosary I've owned. It puts up to a lot of manipulation, use and comes in a well made round container for travelling or carrying in a pocket. Definitely well worth the money.

AWESOME!!!!

5+ Stars for Rugged Rosaries!
I am very pleased with my purchase of the WW1 Battle Beads rosary and am impressed with Rugged Rosaries as a business. I received my rosary quickly, within a week of purchase and the quality is top notch. I highly recommend Rugged Rosaries if you are looking to buy a unique and beautifully made rosary.

WWII Combat Rosary

This is the third Combat Rosary that I have ordered I two year from you. I gave two as a gift and kept one. While all are quite strong for daily use, I noticed the the previous one were more flexible and could encircle my fingers without kink than this one I recently have ordered. Maybe the smaller bids are more rightly set closer together than the previous ones. Nevertheless, they are more lasting than the regular rosaries available from Catholic Religious Stores, even from the Knights of Columbus outlets.

Great quality rosary!

This is the 3rd rosary I purchased as gifts to my friends. I am very satisfied with rosaries.

Beautiful and sturdy

I sent a St Michael set to my Son in Army Basic Training and a set for his Battle Buddy. They both loved the history behind the design and said that they were comfortable enough to wear with their dog tags.

Holy Rosary from my childhood days!

Both of the items I received were better made than what I thought they would be. We’ll done!
