Each of these clay beads are handmade by Sarah making Clay Rosaries a truly unique gift.  Here I have written a short meaning for each bead listed.  It is my hope that when you pray with your clay rosary, the beads will come to mean different things to you and inspire you in many ways.

Each multi-bead rosary comes with every bead listed below, unless otherwise stated. A bead meaning pamphlet is included with every order of the multi-bead rosary.

If you are interested in how the beads are made, I have posted several of these beads on blog and have shown the process of making them with photos. Please visit: www.theclayrosarygirl.blogspot.com and click on the top tab: BEADS  Please note: My website and blog are not tutorials on bead making.  I only use the photos on bead making to show the creative process for customers and anyone interested to gain a deeper appreciation for the work that goes into each bead and for the uniqueness of my beads.
