The "Cracked Ivory on tan cord - bronze crusader helm" is superb. It has an enigmatic and poetic byzantine halo as if it had seen many battles of the faith performed by the faithful, in the deserts of the middle-east. This solemn aura favorably induces me to go inside to my soul and search for God.

I gave this to a friend for her birthday. She was very happy. Thank you. Blessings.

Well made!!! Has a nice weight! Will be my weapon of choice for years to come! Love it!!!

Outstanding.., very nice and strong.

Excellent quality and durability. Cross & Crusader Helmet on the rosary is well crafted.

Well made and beautiful rosary. Bigger than I thought--not really a rosary to slip in one's pocket. The crucifix is solid and heavy, and the beads are about marble size. Quite happy with the purchase.

I haven't received my order yet

I travel a lot and not only is the Rosary durable and very cool, the pouch it came with protects it nicely. It really is a favorite for me. The Crucifix is outstanding.

I’ve ordered several Rosaries and Chaplets and love them all. But aesthetically the Crusaders Rosary has them beat. From the exquisite crucifix to the gorgeous beads and craftsmanship, it is a thing of unique beauty.

I am very impressed with their products . Keep up with the great quality. I will definitely be ordering again.

I ordered a few rosaries before 6 a.m. on a Friday and it arrived on Monday! I had read recommendations online after searching for broken rosaries. Almost all the rosaries I use end up broken (even the blessed ones). When looking at your catalog, I was disappointed so many rosaries were sold out! However, I loved my choice and got an extra one for my mom and she loved it. I will probably purchase again in the near future. And we just got the rosaries blessed today 🤓
Thank you for the speedy delivery and beautiful rosaries. God bless you 🙏

Love it. Another great rosary from this company.

I can not say enough how impressed i am with this company and their products! These Rosary's are the best! Thank you so much Rugged Rosary and may God bless you all.

As many other reviews attest, the quality of this (Crusader) rosary is unmatched. The order arrived days before schedule and I couldn’t be happier with the Rosary itself. I’ve been trying to join the Church since the beginning of the year, but COVID has halted my entering RCIA. The solace of praying the daily rosary, as well as the divine mercy chapter, has increased my faith and kept my souls at peace, through the grace of God. I’m going to order a separate rosary for my friend who is in a similar experience and can’t recommend these “weapons” enough. God bless the people at Rugged Rosaries for arming the Lord’s army.

Seven-year-old son chose the Crusaders black beads on red cord. He is thrilled and thinks this is the coolest Rosary in the world. I (his Dad) own the Battle Beads and love them as well!

Love it!!!!

About two these Satisfied with both of them. The size of the crucifix matches well with the rest.

THIS IS MY 12TH ROSARY I’VE BOUGHT FROM YOU. SOME OF THE ROSARIES I’VE GIVEN AS GIFTS. I WISH I’D HAD KNOWN ABOUT THESE ROSARIES YEARS AGO. THE PARACORD IS SO MUCH STRONGER THEN THE CHEAP METAL CHAIN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

This is a super durable and nice Rosary. The crusader bead looks great. Just all around very happy with it. Great product!

Absolutely love this Rosary! I have big hands, so the size is perfect. The beads are stunning, and the cross is so beautiful you want to cry just looking at it! I ordered the Black with Silver Cross. The cord is great, it is definitely rugged. I am hoping one of the other variations becomes available soon (currently showing sold out).
It arrived early (even during these times), and in perfect condition. Thank You so much!!

This Crusader Rosary is unique and of excellent quality. I liked my new Rosary. Thank you for everything.

This rosary was delivered very promptly and is my new go-to rosary. This is a tank that should last a lifetime!

A well made rosary. Delivered as expected. Great purchase, worth the price.

I ordered 2 RUGGED Rosaries and that's what I got. I ordered St. Therese for my wife and the crusaders for myself. Both of them were waaaaay nicer than what I expected! Now my son and daughter want their own. They're are made really good and strong. I wear mine all of the time now.

Strongest Rosary I have ever owned... definitely can handle the wear and tear of being carried in my pocket each day.

These rosaries are the best! They are durable and fit well in my arthritic hands. The crosses are beautiful as well and the workmanship is top notch. Thank you!

St Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio) was known to say of his rosary, "Hand me my weapon." In our daily spiritual battle, we need a weapon to wield that will not fall apart. The rosaries from Rugged Rosaries will not fall apart. This is only my second rosary but I have gifted several to others. When I want a well-crafted weapon, I go to Rugged Rosaries. The Crusade Rosary is beautiful and harkens back to medieval days. The knots are tight and the ivory and red beads are gorgeous. I'm pretty hard on rosaries and have broken several. I have yet to damage a rosary from this company. I have worn the finish from another RR set but this is different. I wasn't able to customize this because of the limitation of what was available during the Covid-19 lockdown but I couldn't be more pleased. Excellent job; excellent rosary.

This is one of several Rosary I have from Rugged Rosary. They are all well made but this one is especially interesting and beautiful. Worth the price.

This is my forth rosary from you..........love them all!!! you make good tough rosaries.....
again, many thanks

This rosary is beautifully crafted. It is strong and durable: two of the aspirational goals for the faith of any believer. In this metaphorical sense this wonderful instrument by its very constitution alone serves as an inspirational reminder of one of our loftiest goals; that of having an unswerving and robust faith.
The colors of the ivory beads are beautifully tempered by the six matted deep red beads of the “Our Father” and further harmonized by the dark ivory-light tan of the chord itself. The Crucifix is simple but solid with beautifully designed indentations at its four edges. The indentations are circular and thereby balance the basic verticality of the Cross. I emphatically recommend purchasing an exemplar.

The workmanship on this rosary is excellent. It’s now my favorite of the ones I own. Highly recommended.

To start things off: I pick a Rosary based on the crucifix. If I don't like the look or feel of the crucifix, I have a hard time praying with a rosary. I loved my last Rosary, so when it broke I was sad to replace it and new I needed to get something sturdy without . What I love most about my Rugged Rosary is that I was able to customize it -- I didn't need to worry if the Crucifix would be right, because I could pick whichever Crucifix I wanted. The colors of the Crusader rosary are neutral and relaxing (a contrast to the inspiring helmet center bead). And though the Rosary is big -- much bigger than I expected -- it doesn't feel heavy or bulgy in my pocket. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

My wife ordered me a custom colored “Crusader” rosary for Christmas. I sent the photos of it to my father to show it off, he hasn’t stopped talking about it since. So after the wife and I have started getting back into our faith, I decided to order a couple different rosaries. The quality and attention to detail are unmatched. 550 and premium quality beads and crucifixes. 10/10 TLDR; Rugged Rosaries are the best I’ve ever seen, any “custom” changes will be taken care of and the shipping is extremely fast. Will be ordering more for other family members soon. Thank you all for everything you do.

Simply a beautiful and durable rosary. I bought the Crusaders Rosary (black on red cord). Buy one and I guarantee you will not regret this purchase

This is an amazing Rosary. It is heavy duty, masculine, and it reminds me of the brave Crusaders who prayed the Rosary for strength and for the intercessions of the Blessed Virgin. Very satisfied repeat customer.

I recieved my rosary a few days ago I love it. I love how the beads look, a very masculine look to them. The quality is great, the beads feel solid in my hand. I believe they will last a lifetime.

This Crusader Rosary is unique and of excellent quality...as are all of the rosaries made by RR. Construction is unsurpassed and will last a lifetime. Thank you!

Great rosary very sturdy. Will order more in the future.

What beautiful rosaries. I love the super quality and of course they are super special and lovely. I'm so happy with my rosaries. Thank u so much for the medall of saint Michael. That was something very special u guys did. Thank u again and God bless your company and hands.

Very well made rosary. The metalwork on the crucifix is excellent and the text on the St Benedict medal is clear. The rosary has a very good feel in the hand while praying and feels very durable. I had high expectations for this product from the photos and it did not disappoint!

Bigger than I thought it would be. Exceeded expectations.

These are all beautifully constructed. Big gift hits!! Great quality, really fast shipping. Thank you!

I have this rosary to my daughters boyfriend who going in to the Air Force after college. He was thrilled with it. I loved it and would buy one for myself.

I have bought many rosaries and other items from Cordbands and have always been very happy with both their products and their customer service. Their unique rosaries never fail to lift my spirit to Our Lord, and also never break while doing so. It's good to see a company that provides the faithful with the tools needed to fight the good fight, they are certainly doing their part.

The rosary is beautiful. I would like liked it to be a bit longer so that it would hang a bit lower.

This beautiful Rosary is inspiring and easy to pray. The extra medals I requested are also beautiful!
Thank you for adding spiritual inspiration to my prayers as I carry this with me on walks!
I will be back again for more and will continue to recommend your rosaries.

As always, they have outdone themselves. This is my 4th or 5th purchase, and this is the same as the others, great quality and craftsmanship. The Rugged Rosaries customer support was also very helpful. There was an issue with the information I had put down, so I contacted them and they were more than happy to resolve it. I have yet to find another company that is willing to go the distance for there customers as RR is. The Crusaders Rosary will be a great addition to the collection, and it looks even better in person. Thank you again Rugged Rosaries!

I have purchased a number of rosaries from Cordbands/Rugged Rosaries. Each has been well crafted and more beautiful than the pictures can show them. The Crusaders Rosary is no exception! I have given my priest one of the Rugged Rosaries. When he was blessing this one he commented on how much he enjoys his and thought this one was beautiful with the contrast of the red cord, black, and white beads. Thank you for the quality and durability you build into each of these rosaries!

I could not be happier. This is exactly what I wanted and needed.

Everything this company produces is wonderfully made and of the highest quality. Their products are worth every single penny paid. Got the black on red cord model as a Christmas gift for my son. He adores my Rugged Rosary model and I know he will beyond thrilled with this one.

The rosary’s heavy, tough, big, brilliant, and fully equipped to retake the Holy Land. I had mine custom ordered so that it had a Templar Cross where a medal would go and all medal beads. What I got exceeded expectations. 10/10

I am apparently rough with my rosaries because they all tend to break. These are great! So far so good - they seem to be well made.

My husband has a few different rosaries now from this site. He very much enjoys them for their beauty and stability. And it makes wonderful Christmas gifts ;)

The rosary was just what I expected and shipping was faster than I anticipated. Great product and service. I definitely Recommend these rosaries as gifts.

As with the other rosaries I have purchased, the the quality of the product and timely service were excellent.

I own several Rugged Rosaries. They are always exactly as good as promised. As well as excellent customer service.

GOT THIS FOR MY GRANDSON, WHO IS SOON CONVERTING TO CATHOLICISM AND HE LOVED IT - THANK YOU FOR QUICK SERVICE AND A LOVELY ROSARY

I CANNOT wait to give the rosaries and the St. Michael pendant and the patches to my Deacon husband and our son for Christmas this year! Thanks RR!

I am so glad that I ordered this rosary I know I will have it to pray with all my life

My husband uses this rosary daily, very good quality!

Made with love.

I purchased two rosaries for my wife-to-be and myself due to our recent conversion. Absolutely amazing rosaries. Elegant and strong. The Crusader's tan and cracked ivory rosary and the Faith over fear rosary is just awesome. Thank you guys so so much for your love and craftsmanship. God bless!!

I feel very blessed to have found the Rugged Rosary web site! I have always wanted a well made and awesome made rosary. My Crusader Rosary by far exceeded what I was hoping to have! I have other rosaries, but none to compare to the quality of my new Crusader Rugged Rosary! Thank you so much!!

You’re getting exactly what you payed. A sturdy , well-made, and handsome looking spiritual weapon! Fells great in my hands and a good weight. My only complaint is that their aren’t too many options for saintly medals. I really appreciate the design , size, and feel of the medals! Just wish they had more variety. Though, I bet it’s simply because they are a small company and they don’t have the resources or machinery or what not.

I purchased the Crusaders rosary for a dear friend who has the heart of a crusader. In the past I have bought pocket rosaries for my sons and the wooden bracelet for myself. My wife loves her rosary bracelet made from the muli-colored stones. Everyone love them and their excellent quality and manliness. I strongly recommend these rosaries to everyone.

Love your Rosaries! This is my fifth one purchased—Top notch!

I'm new to the Catholic faith. This was my first rosary. It seems very well made and I like it.

This Rosary took me back to Hundreds of years. Where the Crusaders were fighting everywhere. I am very happy someone can make this Beautiful Rosary. A must buy.

The red and black cord and beads are eye catching. The helmet centerpiece is unique. Please consider using the helmet as a bead for the Our Father prayer. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase and I am proud to carry this rosary.

I purchased the crusader rosary. I love the detail, the weight, and the beauty of this rosary. The feel of the cross in my hand as I pray the rosary opens my heart to Mary. I just told a group of 50 plus Catholic Athletes for Christ members about the rosary and how it would make a great gift for someone in their life or their own.

Although this rosary was larger then expected, the quality is top notch. It shipped faster then promised. I’ve already ordered other products. The entire process is unmatched. Highly recommend.

I’m a freshman at St. Ignatius High School and I recently got the crusaders rosary and I carry it in my pocket every day. The quality of the para cord, beads, crucifix, medals, and everything all together just blows me away. Thank you guys.

I bought two incredible rosaries and a St. Benedict pendant... shipped fast..quality is superb and it is something I am proud to own and carry.

I am very pleased with mu purchase of my (3) Rosaries, The Quality of the Rosaries is Good Very well made....
The Delivery was Made on time on the Day I was expecting them to be delivered.....
I was very pleased with everything having to do with this purchase....
Thanks so Much & "God Bless You All"!!!!!!!!!!

Love the rosary! It’s bigger and more solid than I expected - truly a weapon against evil! Thank you!

I’ve always been hard on delicate rosaries, so Rugged Rosaries are just what I need. This particular one is even better because of the bigger beads. I have some neuropathy in my finger tips, so this rosary is just what I needed. Add to that it is really sharp looking, and it is a “win-win”! Thank you!

Love this rosary, its beautifully made, and rugged as your name says...
