I'm not really one words but, it's great. If you're looking for something that feels reliable and long-lasting, this is it.

I was thrilled on receipt of my new Rosary ! It is beautiful, and the craftsmanship unbelievable. Did not have to wait long at all, came with some little surprises. Very satisfied, thank you so much.

I gave myself the gift of your beautiful Trappist rosary, a chaplet, and the rosary pouch for Christmas. All of the items surpassed my expectations. They feel like they were made for my hands. I can't stop looking at them, admiring them, touching them. Your amazing work has really inspired me. I saved my review for a week or so, because I wanted to be able to confirm what I hoped would be true: beautiful tools inspire beautiful work. I can confirm this and I am so happy. My prayer life has changed in wonderful ways. Thank you.

I finally acquired a Rugged Rosary, the Trappist version. As the title suggests, it is not only rugged but beautiful and so well made from a craft standpoint. I hope to get another one, too, with a Benedictine crucifix and maybe two medals attached rather than just one. Don't know if I can go back to my other rosaries now. They seem a bit delicate and even almost flimsy. Oh, well. That's what can happen when you encounter a Rugged Rosary.

I bought a rosary for my Godchild and selfishly want to keep it for myself. I can’t wait to give it to him. He’s a missionary and is pretty rough and tumble so I was very pleased to see how well-made and durable it was. Plus, this rosary looks really masculine and was made with a ton of symbolism that will give him things to meditate on if his mind starts to wonder during his prayer time. I LOVE it.

Husband loved it.

I have a Confession. I have confessed to my Prior in Italy and I must make it public. I confess that I love Rugged Rosaries. I’m not saying this to be funny but to share what these beautiful rosaries do for my Prayer life both in and out of the Cloister. The beauty, size, simplicity all allow me to attend to meditation and contemplation without losing my place on these stunning beads. I use the Trappist Rosary. I don’t have to worry that they will break - that would be next to impossible. All I have to do is focus my attention on Prayer, Meditation and Contemplation. The rosary I love to look at and I love to pray the rosary.

This is my third Rugged Rosary, and I love them all. The Trappist rosary is the finest of the three. The craftsmanship of all three rosaries, but especially the Trappist rosary is exemplary, and I am sure I will soon be buying more as gifts. Thanks for the artistry as well as prompt service/shipping.

I have ordered 7 rosaries from Rugged Rosaries for families and friends and myself I love these rosaries. They are strong and I take one with me daily, not worrying about them breaking.
Thank you so much for making a well made product.

Wonderful service. Beautiful rosary.

This is my second rosary from Rugged Rosaries, and it is terrific. I’ve had so many other malas and rosaries break in my pocket (I usually have at least one in my pocket). These rosaries are really bulletproof. And there are stunning in terms of feel and looks. Thanks!

very sturdy, i dont have to worry about it breaking and it is still so beautiful

Wife loves it.seems extra strong and doesnt look too bad.kids keep finding hers and breaking them.if they break this one i give up.

Quality workmanship is so hard to come by these days. Rugged Rosaries has figured it out though. The knot work is so intricate, the beads are a good size to compliment the paracord, and they are beautifully made. The crucifix is very detailed and large (which fits my hand perfectly). The only way I could be more satisfied is if I had spent more money and bought more things. I love my new rosary.

Nothing compares. I bought the Trappist Rosary a few months ago and was so impressed, I decided to buy one for my father. I have since also purchased the St. Michael necklace, a few crucifix necklaces, and a rosary bracelet.

I've been wanting a more rugged and rustic rosary for some time, and your Trappist rosary hit the sweet spot. It is a beautiful and well-crafted rosary with some heft - I can actually grip and turn the beads without fear of breaking it (which I have done in the past with more delicate rosaries). The details on the St. Benedict's cross are finely wrought as well. I also bought the St. Benedict's chaplet, which I also highly recommend - I can carry this around with me daily in my pocket without fear of it falling apart. It is also finely detailed and of artisinal quality. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend your products to anyone.

I have broken many rosaries that are delicately built and I wondered if there was a durable product i could acquire. Alas, I found Rugged Rosaries, of which I have three and they completely satisfy my requirements. Strongly built and sizeable enough you can feel them.

I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian but one with a very deep affinity for much traditional Western Christian spirituality. I began some time ago praying the rosary but was rather frustrated that the rosaries themselves I came across to use just - there really is no other way I can put it - looked and felt effeminate. In my search for a more masculine style rosary I came across Rugged Rosaries. This rosary is everything I was looking for. I love it’s density and sturdiness. The smooth and solid feel of the beads is perfect, the cording firm. It is magnificent to look at and is a fine piece of craftsmanship worth every cent and then some. I will absolutely be ordering another for my son as well as a compact one for me to have in my work truck. Thank you so very much and may God bless you for creating such a wonderful product.

This is exactly the kind of Rosary for which I was in the market. Something solid. Something quality. Something I can throw in a pocket or bag and have little concerns that it is going to be broken.
Thank you for your investment into such a great tool for the faithful!

Praying with this beautiful Holy Rosary everyday. It is always near me when my son is receiving his radiation. My son has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and praying the Holy Rosary brings me peace that Mama Mary is praying for us for the miracle that we know God will provide not only to my son but to all that need on. Thank you again Jakey’s Army

I love it ! It is so beautiful and handy in size with a beautiful Cross to pray and offer gratitude to GOD. I just completed an hour of Adoration at our Chapel and used the RR for the first time. I felt so confident as its size, its ruggededness its beauty to me was a precious rosary to pray to Mary and to GOD our Father! And it seems to me to resemble the ruggedness and strength Jesus showed us in His mission and Crucifixion.
Thank you for an excellent and quality Rosary to be used to share in my peace and visit and prayers to God!

I have purchased expensive rosaries in the past that are beautiful but fragile. Hence, I have broken and far too many. As an itinerant, active coach, the rugged rosary is exactly the solution for me. Moreover, the rosaries do not sacrifice beauty for durability. Thank you!

I bought this for my godson for his confirmation. I had it shipped directly to my sister to wrap. I was told by my sister that the rosary was beautiful and very well made. My godson was very pleased with it and I feel this is a rosary he will have during adulthood.

I received a Rattle Snake Rosary from my wife a couple yrs ago. It is my everyday prayer, in my pocket every where I go, punch the devil in the face when I use it, constant reminder that Christ is my King rosary. The one I just purchased is a Trappist rosary as a gift for a friend that has recently come back to the church. I Know he is going to love it as much as I love mine.

The Rugged rosary I received is strong
and beautifully ordered with wooden
beads. I can move the beads as I pray
and hold on to them one by one with
my fingers; as, I grip the wooden bead.
It is a treasure!

The quality of this rosary was second to none. It's actually even more impressive than my first impression from the pictures. I can see why they call these 'rugged' rosaries too; it feels solid and the craftsmanship is beautiful. I will definitely be purchasing more from them again.

This is a very well made and beautiful rosary. It will be with me for a long time to remind me to keep the faith. All of my correspondence with Rugged Rosarys were answered quickly and respectfully. I will definately purchase from them again.

Honestly, it was larger than I expected, but I still love it! I'm hoping to give this to my new grandson one day; when I'm done with it. Customer service was quick and helpful when I wanted to add a couple of saint medals. Our Deacon was also impressed and said that he was going to check out the website.

I've been looking for a simple rosary for years and found it here at Rugged Rosary. It was beautiful, elegant, well constructed. I opted to swap out the metal cube cross beads for simple black resin. The crucifix feels substantial, not made of cheap metal. This is a treasure I look forward to using every time and hope to bequeath it to my children someday.

Now this is really a MAN'S rosary! The large crucifix, prayer beads, intricate knotting, and wonderful bronze and brass tones make this truly stand out. Is it a sin to be proud of your rosary? I hope not because I am!

I was very pleased to receive my rosary and it was just as beautiful and rugged as described. The shipping was very quick and I received plenty of communication during the shipping process. Thank you for making such a wonderful product I have it in my pocket right now and it is now a part of my everyday carry gear.

This s a great product that lives up to its name. It is built with ruggedness in mind and is an excellent, man's rosary. I have replaced others twice when I finally found this one, and I can see it is built to last. It feels good to handle; rugged and comfortable.

I love this new rosary. It is built to last forever. I have had to repair the links on many of my traditional rosaries. But this one is truly rugged and comfortable to use.

This is a big rosary and very well made. My husband absolutely loves it and has it with him constantly. Its really beautiful and still very masculine. The beads and crucifix are pretty large - much larger than a standard rosary. We love it!

Have ordered numerous products from RR, several of them customized, incredible company, product, quality, service, thank you for being an important promoter of Faith.

The brown tones of this rosary are beautiful and remind me of simpler times. Hard to put into words. There is something quite touching about it. I can “almost” hear the sound of sandals on stone floors. Thank you for your quality workmanship, as always.

Very pleased.

Shipping was quick and the Rosary was as described exactly. The crucifix was a "bit" larger than expected, but the rosary us indeed RUGGED!! Most excellent product and highly recommended!

Both of these rosaries arrived very promptly, I was actually surprised that they were delivered to my house in such a short time. I had lost my older WWI Battle Beads someplace in Italy and needed a replacement. I was surprised by the tin that came with the rosary. I actually liked the zippered pouch that the rosary used to be packaged with much better. It was just more comfortable in the pants pocket than the tin is. The Trappist rosary is beautiful. It's well made and feels very substantial. It's not a delicate rosary, it feels very masculine. Thank you very much.

The pure craftsmanship that goes into making these rosaries is awesome, our faith says we should pray the rosary everyday and in all honesty the love that was put into these rosaries ignites a fire in my soul while using the rosary. Very talented people well worth the price.

I got my rosary. It was a bit bigger than I thought it would be, but I am happy about that. sturdy, really well made and looks like something monks use and wear. I am completely happy with my new rosary. Than you!

Beautiful rosary that appears very durable. I look forward to praying with it for a long time.

These rosaries are works of art. They are essentially indestructible. A perfect gift.

This is quite possibly the 6th rosary I have purchased from RR. Honestly can’t say enough good things about the quality and craftsmanship of each that I have purchased. They will last a lifetime! Thank you!

God bless your work I love my new spiritual weapon.

I was given a rosary from the FSSP priest that was traditional, but it just looked too delicate. I wanted something robust that would be a reflection of my spirituality, RR delivered! This one looks like it could last a lifetime and then some.

Your site was recommended to me by my parish priest and I’m glad he did. I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of the build. The craftsmanship is outstanding. This is now my goto rosary. Thank you very much

love it. It reminds me of the rosary the nuns used as a child, but for an older gent such as myself I appreciate the oversize beads, its easy to handle. Thanks so much, I know I'll have it for the rest of my life.

This is truly a beautiful rosary. I have 6 or 8 rosaries in the house, but this is one that I love using. Thanks so much!

Delivery was quick. The natural-looking rosary is bold and durable. It was what I was looking for. I've been in a slump lately and needed one to help me move a bit closer to God. So far I've fallen asleep while praying a few times and it really helped with my insomnia! I would, and will, definitely recommend these to my family.

I find. The rosary to be of high quality with attention to detail very good, Not just stamped out but detailed very satisfied.thank you for a quality product.

Bought this rosary for my husband. The beads of every other rosary he has ever used always chipped or broke off after using them frequently. This rosary is really built for the daily wear and tear! He loves it! And so masculine! Looks good in his hands...not like the rinky-dink tweenager's jewelry set ones you find nowadays! We will be buying more!

Beautiful and, well rugged. Well crafted. The knot work is gorgeous. I am more than pleased with this purchase.

Very pleased, overall. Use it daily. Won't be breaking any time soon. As a Benedictine Oblate, I found the add-on medal of St. Benedict disappointing. Too small. Not worth $4 and oddly attached. I'll remove it eventually. Otherwise, as Google as it gets.

This rosary is elegant and VERY durable!

Your rosaries are absolutely beautiful. I asked a catholic priest what he thought, and he looked the rosary over very carefully and fell in love with it. He said it was a very special rosary. I decided too give him one. It made his day. keep the excellent workmanship going. Laus Deus

My wife purchased this for me as an anniversary/conformation gift. She liked it so much that I purchased her one. We will be purchasing another for the priest of our parish.

Literally zero complaints and nothing but positive thoughts from me. It’s rugged, durable, high-quality, and everything o could ask for. Definitely worth it in every regard.

I am very pleased with my purchase. This is the first Rosary I have purchased from Rugged Rosary,but will not be the last. It looks even nicer in person!

The order came quickly and it was just what we ordered. I bought it as a gift for my husband and he loved the rosary.

I really treasure this elegant and sturdy Rosary.

This is my 3rd Rosary from Rugged Rosaries and they have yet to disappoint. I was especially pleased this time because I had the option of adding a St. Maximilian Kolbe medal!

Large, tough and heavy rosary. Showed up quickly and exceeded my expectations!

Received my rosary on time and cannot be more pleased. It is quite beautiful and the handcrafted quality is evident upon inspection. May be the last rosary I “have” to purchase, but will definitely purchase from Rugged Rosaries again. Pax!

I got this as a gift for my brother for his birthday. He is absolutely thrilled with it. It's a lovely piece of craftsmanship.

This is a beautiful, high-quality product. Ordering was very easy. Processing and shipping was fast. I cannot recommend this product strong enough.

To Rugged Rosaries, well done. God bless you!

This is a great rosary to pray with. It feels strong and good. It is also beautiful and well-constructed. Thank you for putting the time and effort into doing this right. I will value and appreciate this sacred vessel for years to come. Blessings!

Rugged is an understatement. It is also beautiful.

Received my Rosary and it is beautiful! I am completely satisfied with its appearance and could not be happier. I am a "new" Catholic and will treasure this Rosary for many years to come. It was well worth every penny. If you are looking to purchase a nice Rosary I would strongly recommend Rugged Rosaries!

Incredibly high quality. I ended up giving mine to a stranger. The lady was a rideshare driver and was very nice. She was an immigrant from the Middle East. She had not been able to afford a new one and the rosary I noticed in her car was in bad shape. I gave her my St. Benedict Rosary. She was surprised and so grateful. Glad I could provide such a high quality and rugged Rosary to someone who will use it. Onto the order page now. (And happily so!)

I was surprised at first at the size of this rosary, but I love how big it is, considering the use. It really feels like this thing will last forever. It feels like it is meant to be prayed with and carried, not shown off as a piece of jewelry. Will buy again

I bought this Saint Benedict rosary for my husband and he loves it. It’s great quality and the crucifix is amazing. It’s large, perfect for a man.

It being handmade makes it special thank you.

I have broke 4 rosaries in one month. This rosary won’t be included. SOLID and beautiful!

My Trappist rosary is very masculine and beautiful. It’s built so well that it makes saying the rosary so easy. The spacing of the beads are done just right that they move enough to give you a solid hold. It is inspiring to use it as you pray the novena.
