A rosary is a string of beads that is used for counting prayers. Rosaries are primarily used  in the Catholic religion.  Picking out the perfect rosary can be time consuming and confusing as there are tons of different rosary beads to choose from. 

Here is some valuable information that will help you make the perfect decision when purchasing a rosary:

Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl  is a very popular material used today in rosaries.  The pearls come from the hard internal layer of a sea mollusk and are an iridescent white color.  Mother of Pearl beads symbolize fertility and re-birth, which makes this a great rosary to give to an expecting mother.  They can also symbolize purity, faith and innocence which makes them perfect for a wedding gift.

Glass Beads

Glass beaded rosaries  come in a variety of colors and styles.  Glass provides for a classy looking rosary without the drain on your pocket book that you can find with crystal rosaries.  Glass rosaries  have a very similar look to crystal rosaries and most people could not tell the difference.  Glass is very light-weight and has a smooth, sleek feeling in your hands.  Glass beads come in many different styles and the color of the beads have great significance.

Purple  – Wealth, Power, Royalty and Inward Reflection

Wooden
Jesus was crucified on a wooden cross so wooden rosaries have very special meanings.  The first rosaries were made from wood and was always used in times of distress or trouble.  It is believed that this is where the phrase "knock on wood" came from.
