Catholics, where can I buy a nice rosary online?

My daughter spent her junior year in France and was confirmed as a Catholic there last month. I promised her a rosary as a confirmation gift, but have no idea how to judge the quality of the ones I see online. Any sites you can recommend? Or am I better off going to a brick and mortar shop?

Etsy has a bunch of them, in pretty much any color/style/material, many unique handmade ones and some vintage.

But be forewarned about getting sucked into Etsy. It’s addicting when shopping for unique or very personalized items!

Is there a Catholic gift shop near your home? Some parishes have them.

Let me see where else…

I would trust this site…

Do you have a color preference? What about price point? A nice rosary will start about $20 and go up from there. I use to manage the gift shop in our church for a number of years before we moved. I was addicted to buying rosaries. If you have a Catholic shop in the area, it may be helpful to go in to see their products.

For example, this is a pretty good rosary.

I would stay away from a pearl rosary. Unless they are real pearls, the coating will rub off.

Kaufersonline.com
Local to me, always had a good selection.

You can call EWTN catalog and talk to someone for any questions on what they sell.

All EWTN catalog purchases benefit EWTN which is operated by donor contributions and their merchandise sales.

I was going to say Amazon.

Do you live in/near a large city? I just ask because near us in Philadelphia is a Ukrainian Cathedral and they sale beautiful items from the Ukraine. There might be something like that locally to you and you can shop and browse and find something special.

@mom2collegekids , I love the blue one you linked. She actually wants a blue one, so that might be the one! Thank you!

Okay, so I ordered the blue one from Lourdes, recommended above. Thanks, everyone, for your helpful suggestions!. Mods, you can close the thread now if you’d like.
