This compact one-decade all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable. It is inspired by the historical vintage service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. Now you can carry your WWI Battle Beads combat rosaries in this great rugged smaller format which includes a full-sized Pardon Crucifix, a beautiful Miraculous Medal of Our Blessed Lady, a single Glory Be/Our Father bead, and your 10 Hail Mary beads.
The Miraculous medal is included but you may optionally select up to 5 more medals to customize your rosary. We also offer just the split rings to add your own medal and an optional Memento Mori Skull bead. If you would like to be able to loop this rosary, you can select to add a lobster clasp as shown in the photos.
These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The nickel-free Silver finished chains are no-rust, no-tangle, and have a great weight and feel. These are NOT the much lower-quality imported copies. We handmake these ourselves right here in our Texas workshop!
The single-decade rosary is quite easy to use. We have a guide for you here if you need help:
Praying your One Decade Pocket Rosary
This rosary comes in a nice small round storage container for storing the rosary, but it also makes a nice gift presentation.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.
Excellent rosary, very professional and surprisingly tangle free. Thank you so much
This was a repeat order. As with every rosary I've purchased from Rugged Rosaries, I am completely satisfied.
My Navy midshipmen grandson just converted to Catholicism and he was thrilled with this rosary. Such meaning and appreciated the rugged and sturdy composition.
Long story short, I started praying the rosary regularly during my work breaks using the one I received at my confirmation. Unfortunately, it wasn’t built to last and eventually broke. That’s when I decided to try this one—and to my surprise, it truly lives up to its name. It’s a Rugged Rosary in every sense.
I love the solid weight, the beautiful color, and especially the significance behind the design. It feels meaningful and built to last. Thank you for making something both durable and deeply spiritual.
My son loved the rosary, Thank you for a quality product.
I’ve been buying these rosaries and getting them blessed . They are my favorite gift to pass to those in need. What better gift when someone is in need of prayers to pass your rosary to them after you’ve prayed with them in your hands. I appreciate you all! Pax Tibi
I’m a police officer where I live. I bought the gunmetal Momento Mori rosary and tactical pouch. It is the best combo I’ve ever purchased and fits well with the vest I wear. Pouch has a hoops velcro patch so you can add whatever morale patch you’d like. I opted for a Jerusalem Cross.
My parish priest was also impressed with the arsthetic and quality of the rosary itself.
Prayer on duty has never been better!
In my order request I specified to change the crucifix to the San Damiano... but the crucifix was the same as the one photographed. I gave this as a gift, and the person received it loves it despite not getting the San Damiano. So I give 4 out of 5. I love Rugged Rosary and continue to be a faithful customer... despite a simple request... they make the best rosaries and all the crucifixes are beautiful. Will never give anything lower than a 4.
