Pick the length first, because a rosary is worn long and most of these list 30 inches or more. Then pick yellow, rose or white gold, since every one is offered in all three. Three are 10K with black stones in the mix, and the pearl rosary is the 14K one. Before you pay, ask the desk what hangs below the center piece and how big it is.
The rosary: rosary chain for men, diamond rosary necklace, gold rosary
A rosary chain is a necklace shaped like prayer beads, and that shape decides how it sits on you. The classic rosary runs five groups of ten beads, each group parted by one bead, joined at a center piece with a cross hanging below. A jeweler sets those beads in gold and diamonds. All four here carry the rosary name, and two are sold as a set. The listings print no size for the center piece or for what hangs below it, so ask the desk for both, with a photo, before you choose.
Length: 30 inch rosary chain, 36 inch rosary, how long should a rosary chain be
Take 30 inches for a rosary worn over a shirt, the length the two black and white rosaries list. The canary rosary is the longest at 36 inches. The pearl rosary is the shortest at 22. Six more inches of chain drops the bottom about three inches, since the chain falls on both sides of the neck. The two black and white rosaries also offer shorter lengths on their listings, from 18 to 24 inches, so ask the desk which length you will get before you pick one.
Gold: 10k gold rosary, 14k gold rosary chain, white gold rosary, rose gold rosary
Three are 10K gold and the pearl rosary is 14K. 10K carries less gold and is the harder metal, and 14K shows the deeper yellow. Every one lets you choose yellow, rose or white gold, yet the three 10K descriptions show white, so ask which colors are made and how long a new one takes. They weigh 51 to 75 grams. The pearl rosary is the heaviest and also the shortest.
Diamonds: diamond rosary chain, black diamond rosary, canary diamond rosary, pearl rosary
Three carry about 17 carats of diamonds each. The pearl rosary pairs its pearls with 6.61 carats. Every diamond line here reads natural, and none says lab-grown. The two black and white rosaries mix black stones with white ones graded F. The canary rosary sets canary stones with black ones in prong and bezel settings. Many black diamonds sold in jewelry are color-treated, so ask the desk whether the black on yours is natural color.
Buying: rosary chain made to order, how long it takes, returns, the desk
