2) Smooth rosary beads or faceted beads?
Smooth rosary beads run through the fingers easily and feel nice, while faceted jewelry-like beads are much more beautiful. The multifaceted cut reflects the light in sparkly shades of color, especially when each bead resembles a precious stone, such as with birthstone rosaries.
Although these jewelry-like beads are stunning, they don’t glide through the fingers as easily as beads with a smooth surface. So, do you choose a rosary that your hands like, or that your eyes like? That’s up to you!
