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 bought this for a 14 yr old boy I’m sponsoring for confirmation. I have purchased from RR in the past and every single item has been fantastic. Not only are they beautiful but the quality is unmatched. This particular rosary is so unique with its patina finish. The young man who is getting it loves history and the outdoors. I feel like he will appreciate the historical nature of it as well as the fact that he can take it with him anywhere and not worry about it breaking.
Needs to the Miraculous Medal is The Holy Spirit and Joseph holding Baby Jesus. The Joyful Mysteries. 2nd Decade St Jude and St Michael as in Jude 1:9. Third Decade We have Guadalupe and St Gabriel for our Mother brings us the messages. Lastly St Therese the only Pewter Medal and I’m sure she wanted that way… and my Guardian Angel. Super Happy with my Purchase.
Bought the Seven Sorrows Rosary. I'm horrible with Rosaries. I've even managed to break a standard issue K of C Rosary. The links break , they fall apart in my pocket, the individual beads clatter to the floor on camping trips. Somebody recommended your product, and so far It's been bullet proof. I'll check back in later, but my first impressions are that I won't have any bad news. Great job, and I'll pass your site on to others so they can see for themselves.
Absolutely awesome! Great quality, looks stunning in gun metal with the Miraculous Medal.
The St. Michael Chaplet is absolutely beautiful and as all your pray beads, very well made. I got the St. Benedict medal and the Miraculous medal to accent it and they are just as beautiful. I’ve been praying the St. Michael Chaplet every day since I received it. Highly recommend you add this to your daily pray with the Holy Rosary.
Indestructible! A great rosary to carry in your work pants.
It won’t break.
That’s not my first order from Rugged Rosaries. They are beautifully made, well crafted and very strongly made.
I love everything about it. I show it off to everyone and have them the website. I am already planning to order another one soon. I cannot wait!
