SPECIALLY HANDCRAFTED. UNIQUELY YOURS.
General Questions
What style rosary is a Charming Rosary?
All Charming Rosaries are beaded rosaries. All beads are placed on a wire right next to each other. These are not chain linked rosaries and there is no chain between the beads. The majority of the rosaries are 5 decade rosaries with 53 Hail Mary beads and 6 Our Father beads.
Is the rosary a necklace?
No, these are rosary beads which are meant to be held in the hand for prayer or hung. The rosary may fit over an individual’s head, but it does not have a clasp.
Have your rosaries been blessed?
No, but a local priest will be happy to bless the rosary.

Quality & Care
What are your beads made of?
We use the finest Austrian Crystals and Austrian Crystal Core Pearls.
For further quality and materials information, see Why Choose Charming Rosary.
How do I care for my Charming Rosary?
*A jewelry polishing cloth will remove tarnish from the silver-plated components.
*A gentle wipe over, with a lint free cloth, should restore the luster to the Austrian pearls and crystals.
*Avoid contact with water and other fluids – especially acidic liquids, sonic cleaners, and commercial jewelry cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol.
*It’s best to store the rosary away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. For long term storage, an airtight bag is best.

Add-Ons
I forgot to add a Name in Beads, Engraved Disc, Photo Charm, or Keepsake Box to an order I just purchased? How do I add it to my rosary order?

My Baptism, Communion or Confirmation date has changed. How do I purchase just an Engraved Disc with the new date?

Engraving
Can I engrave on the back of the disc?
Yes, the front of the disc has a mirror finish, and the back has a brushed finish. It is an additional $8.95 to engrave the back of the disc (no arc engraving). Purchase the rosary with the front engraving and then purchase the item, Back Engraving which you'll find in Add-Ons.

What is the red line on my engraved disc?
The line is part of the protective film covering the disc. It is placed on the disc to protect it in transit and will easily peel off.
Photo Centerpieces
How do I know if my picture will work as the centerpiece?
Upload your photo with your order. If there is a quality or cropping concern, we will email you with instructions.
Can I have two or more people in the picture for the centerpiece?
One person is ideal for the centerpiece. Two or more people will look best if they are positioned closely together. The more people you have the smaller the image will be. We will email you if there are any concerns.
