Other Suppliers for Rosary Making Parts

Our ultimate goal is that you find what you would like whether we carry it or not, and to that end we are happy to include contact information for these fine businesses and organizations. If you can't find what you seek, though, please do let us know. We have some excellent resources and are happy to help in any way that we can.

Following is a brief introduction to each along with a link to their web site. If you do make a purchase from them, be sure to tell them that you were referred by The Rosary Shop (we don't get any 'kickback,' but are just trying to spread good will).

(Please do not write to us asking us to include your organization in this list unless it is a fully-fledged company with at least one full-time worker providing at least 100 line items primarily for rosary makers. If you do not meet these qualifications but would like us to provide a link to you, please provide a link to The Rosary Shop. Our server will automatically detect its use and add you to our reciprocal link database system.)

Lewis and Company

Lewis and Company has been around for quite some time. When The Rosary Shop (then Handmade Rosaries) began in 1996, Lewis and Company and Our Lady's Rosary Makers were pretty much the only known rosary parts suppliers in the USA, but worked exclusively through a mail order-style business model. We brought that model to the Internet (or vice-versa). Since then, Lewis and Company has developed an attractive-looking web site presenting their array of rosary parts and supplies. Lewis and Company carries a number of inexpensive medals, centers and crucifixes similar to those found at The Rosary Shop. They also have a sterling series manufactured by McVan/Chapel which they provide at a very competitive price (we purposefully do not carry much McVan/Chapel products, so you will need to see Lewis and Company for these).

Our Lady's Rosary Makers

Our Lady's Rosary Makers (OLRM) specializes in providing missions rosary supplies; plastic beads, centers, crucifixes and bonded nylon cord. If you wish to spin out missions rosaries, they are simply the most economical source we know. OLRM also carries several items from the McVan/Chapel line in sterling at prices so low that we're not quite sure how they do it and remain operational.

Rosary Workshop

Rosary Workshop does the best job of any company we know in terms of the visual presentations of their rosaries. As we understand it they work with a casting company that provides a number of unique crucifixes and centers in brass and silver. They specialize in refined flex wire rosaries.

Ave Maria's Circle

Ave Marie's Circle is a Canadian company providing inexpensive rosary parts. Richard and Debbie Wojcik are the owners, and the company appears well-respected.

Saint Joseph's Mail Order

St. Joseph's Mail Order (SJMO) out of Canada was initially similar to The Rosary Shop in its offerings, then some time ago stopped carrying beads, then disappeared altogether for several months. When operational, SJMO was well known for some of the less common medals sets that they carried. As we write this they are (apparently) in the process of re-establishing their business via the Internet. They do have some good prices, but also some things on the site that we don't quite understand.

We wish you and all of these companies the best of success.
