TIPS:
* This rosary follows a traditional rosary pattern. A traditional rosary necklace is made with specific number of beads in specific locations, to remind the wearer which prayer in the rosary to pray next.
* The opening of this rosary necklace is about 23", which is about as short as you can go and still fit over your head without a clasp. Consider using additional spacers to make it a bit longer.
