Handcrafted, heirloom quality, one-of-a-kind penal rosary. Quality stone beads – 8mm red creek jasper – beautiful matte finish! Using a penal rosary commemorates the oppression Irish Catholics of the past have undergone, where the rosary had to be hidden up the sleeve or in a pocket. This rosary was made with care and prayers. Every bead is individually wire-wrapped and designed to last a lifetime of prayer and joy. It will never lose its crucifix!

*This is not a keychain, despite the key ring. The ring is meant to be slipped onto each finger to keep track of the decades.*
Mary Catherine Fairbairn –
I love everything about this Penal Rosary. I had never heard of a Penal Rosary before Erika, the artist who crafted it, introduced me to its fascinating history with the Irish people. (The Penal Rosary was used in the times when the Penal Laws were imposed by Great Britain upon the Irish, so it was prayed secretly.) I love the Celtic cross–the corpus of Jesus will not fall off and get lost. The way the beads are wire-wrapped in place ensures the rosary is sturdy and unlikely to break; it’s very well made. I love the look of the Red Creek Jasper beads combined with the bronze wire and crucifix: it’s absolutely beautiful. What a pleasure to pray with this Penal Rosary! I love that it is so compact; it fits easily into my pocket or pocketbook. I love the ring on the rosary that I switch from finger to finger to help keep track of the mysteries. When I’m driving, I don’t have to look at my rosary because I can feel the ring, which reminds me which decade I am praying. Its beauty and functionality has renewed my enthusiasm for praying the rosary!
