I chose the beads and accents for this rosary, and I made it by hand.

The beads on this rosary are approximately 8MM long by 6MM wide flattened oval picture stone beads in browns and tans. Some of them have sand-like speckled patterns, some of them are striped, some are patches of color. I used larger barrel-shaped beads of the same stone for the Pater beads to make them stand out. The crucifix and center are nickel silver. The crucifix is about 2 inches long, the center is about 3/4 inch.
