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.  

In addition to the included Miraculous medal, you may optionally select additional devotional medals to customize your rosary. 

These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The Gunmetal 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.

Battle Beads-Floral Version

I have a perfectly lovely Rosary that I've had for years, but I wanted an additional one that could withstand being carried in my work backpack without worrying that the delicate chain links would break. I'm grateful to the various Catholic Reddit threads who guided me toward Rugged Rosaries. So may options. What a blessing! The Floral Version of the Battle Bead Rosary is beautiful and robust. I like that it has some weight to it but still moves easily through my hands. I also ordered the Elegant Handcrafted Natural Wooden Catholic Rosary and the Knights of Columbus Battle Beads Pocket Rosary Gunmetal version for my brother for Father's Day. It arrived on Friday and he had it blessed at Mass on Sunday. He loved it! I couldn't be happier with my order, delivery time, and the additional "goodies" that RR included. Thank you!

Canadian Knight Rosary Purchase

I have been praying with this rosary for over a year now. One of my fellow Knights asked if I could order “Battle Beads” for him as well. I rec’d my rosary as a gift from Supreme.
My only concern is that the landed price for “Battle Beads” was more than 70.00 Canadian. This is a high price to pay for a quality rosary that will last a lifetime.
Somehow the total cost needs to come down.
My concern is that the price will restrict who May order this wonderful rosary.

Combat Rosary

I have bought 7 rosary’s and they have all been perfect. They are compact enough to carry every day and big enough my fat fingers can feel every bead. When I have bought one or shown one to a friend they are all amazed about how well priced they are for the exceptional quality. I won’t buy another brand.

Exceptional in every way!

Thank you to everyone at Rugged Rosaries. I was extremely satisfied at the beauty and quality of my WWI Battle Beads Memento Mori Gunmetal Patina rosary. Because of the complements I’ve received about both of the rosaries I’ve purchased, I’ve been able to talk to a few people about praying the rosary. They’ve been a blessing! Both rosaries I’ve purchased were custom and the service the service was exceptional. Thank you again and God bless!
