This compact all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable. It has a meaningful history, as it is a replica of the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. Now with slightly larger Our Father beads, the WWI Battle Beads rosaries are the closest replica available to the vintage antique service combat rosaries from 1916!
These rosaries are quite strong, small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The chains are beautiful nickel-free silver patina finish over brass which makes them weighty and very comfortable in your hands.
The Our Father beads are slightly larger to aid in meditative prayer. You can feel where you are as you move through prayers and at 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket.
Although the WWI Battle Beads Rosary is rugged enough to carry in your pocket, we do include a small round box for presentation and storage.
As with all Rugged Rosaries, you may add optional medals. We recommend only adding up to 4. Some of our photos show an optional medal attached.
You can rest assured you are getting the highest quality and best workmanship. We have been creating these in our own studio since 2012.

Thank you for shopping and God bless.
The one decade pocket rosary featuring the Knights of Columbus emblem was sturdy and well made.
I appreciate and love the care you give your products! Very beautiful and durable! Thank you!
I bought one for my husband and one for my stepson. They’re both beautiful quality and beautifully made. I would 100% purchase again.
I've never ordered a rosary online before and had a lot of nervousness in doing so, but I had fallen in love with the WWI Rosary and decided to take the chance. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! This is EXACTLY as presented and is more amazing in person. My friends and family are also amazingly impressed by it.
Please, if you are looking for a great looking and great quality rosary, this is an amazing product!
I ordered two different custom rosaries for myself and each came exactly as ordered. I will be buying more for my family. Beautiful products
For me, whenever I pray the Rosery, I get annoyed whenever my rosery is all in knots. I have been using your rosery for many years now and I love its texture and its design where I do not have to untangle them. Life is complicated, I do not want that same relationship with God. I want it to be simple an reliable. I appreciate that symbolically your product gives that for me.
This is my third pair I have purchased. My First pair back in 2017 has been my primary rosery however I am also an absent minded catholic and always misplace my rosery from time to time. So I always have backups.
I am thankful for your product because of the reliability and texture, I have felt very comfortable with your roseries. In the past, my rosery would break because of it being twisted and the links would fall apart when I would attempt to untangle it. Your product is worth the money. Thank you!
It is a very close to the one I had. In comparison to my last combat rosary. Well made.
This rosary from Rugged Rosaries is an incredible piece of craftsmanship! The stainless steel beads are perfectly weighted and durable, making it ideal for both daily use and travel. The details on the crucifix and medals are impeccable, with intricate engravings that truly stand out.
What makes this rosary even more special is the inclusion of the St. Michael the Archangel and St. Joseph medals. They add a powerful spiritual significance and make this rosary a constant reminder of faith and protection. It’s built to last a lifetime, combining rugged durability with timeless beauty. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-made rosary.
