Frequently asked questions

I accept custom orders. Please contact me for details. Custom creations are non-returnable.

What styles do free-range rosaries come in?

I make 3 styles of free-range rosaries.
-Traditional with a Blessed Mother/Saint centerpiece and crucifix (or cross) as the anchor symbol.
-Hybrid with a Blessed Mother/Saint centerpiece and a non-crucifix anchor symbol.
-Non-traditional without overtly religious symbols.

What is a free-range rosary for?

All are made to follow the basic prayer pattern of the traditional rosary but you can also use them for meditation, ceremony, or contemplation. Some people place them on their home altars to honor their ancestors.

What is different about a free-range rosary?

They have one or more "A" beads. The purpose of the "A" bead is to invite your Angels and Ancestors to pray with you, acknowledge their presence, and thank them when you've finished praying/meditating. A is of course for Angel and Ancestor.

Another unusual trait of my free-range rosaries are the beads selected for the first three Mater (Hail Mary) beads after the anchor symbol. Each of these beads is different and they represent the three major stages of the life of the Blessed Mother Mary as well as the Triple Goddess; Maiden, Mother, and Crone.

The receiver will also get a one-of-a-kind "rosary story" explaining the deeper meaning behind the symbols and materials in their prayer beads.

How are free-range rosaries made?

I make them all myself. Each one is unique. I treat making rosaries as a sacred ceremony and it's a process I adore! Even setting up my workspace before I begin is a part of the ceremony. While I work, I pray, chant, and listen to sacred sound or music. I heed my intuition when it comes to creating each free-range rosary so the process of choosing materials and design can be super quick or take days (even weeks!).

I use a mix of some new and some re-purposed or recycled materials. I try and source all new materials from ethical and sustainable sources. Many are from my old stock of beads from 25 years ago when I had a jewelry business.

How are free-range rosaries blessed?

Before the rosary is shipped to its person, it will spend time in veneration of First Class relics of St. Theresa of Avila and St. Theresa of Lisieux. It is then cleansed and blessed in a ceremony that I was guided to create just for this purpose.

It's helpful that I know the recipients' first and middle names for the blessing ceremony. This name will also be written on the cloth bag that comes with the prayer beads.

What if it breaks?

I offer a 12 month handiwork assurance. If there is an issue please contact me right away. We'll make arrangements to ship it back to me for complimentary repair. In the case that you do not provide all of the original pieces, I will have to substitute with those that I have on hand, therefore it might differ a bit from the original design. International shipping not included.

Why don't you offer returns or exchanges?

🕊 Since these are sacred objects which receive specific blessings, I don't offer returns or exchanges. If your rosary cord breaks within 6 months of purchase, contact me and we'll make arrangements for its repair.
