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.
I jumped on the wagon to get the rosary made of gun metal. Worthy of my investment. I even added saint medals to remind me to pray for the saints for their intercession. A must have for all Catholics.
This is my second order from Rugged Rosaries and I absolutely love this single decade rosary! I carry it with me in my chest pocket every day at work! It is lightweight, compact and above all durable.
Had an issue with missing add-on but promptly and helpfully resolved.
I purchased the rosary with the clasp and have been wearing it daily for the past 10 days. It has held up to regular daily activities (I take it off in the gym) and easily tucks into a sleeve when i need it to. It's brought great peace to me.
This rosary is very beautiful and feels very high quality. I originally got myself one and my girlfriend requested one after she saw mine. We both love them.
I love this rosary
I would like a bit more space between the our father beads and the Hail Mary beads, to make it easier in the dark to know where I am.
Great rosary, love it!
