¿Cuál es el pedido mínimo?

200 unidades por referencia y acabado. Es fabricación de fábrica, no venta de existencias. Para cantidades pequeñas están los rosarios y decenarios personalizados de la tienda.

¿Se puede grabar un nombre en el crucifijo?

Sólo en los modelos que tienen la cara posterior plana, que son unos pocos. La mayoría lleva relieve por las dos caras y no admite grabado. Conviene consultarlo modelo por modelo antes de cerrar el pedido.

¿Qué cuesta hacer una medalla propia?

El molde son 250 €. No se cobra cuando el pedido supera las 500 unidades. Es la vía cuando la imagen que se busca —el titular de una cofradía, la patrona de un pueblo— no está en el catálogo.

¿Cuánto se tarda en recibir el pedido?

Unos 40 días para un pedido del orden de 500 unidades. Las muestras tardan 15 días. Los plazos de cantidades mayores se confirman al cerrar el encargo.

¿En qué tamaño vienen las cuentas?

En 6 mm y en 8 mm. El 6 mm es el tamaño habitual para niño y para mujer; el 8 mm, el habitual para hombre. Se elige al hacer el pedido, con independencia del color.

Por adelantado, mediante transferencia SEPA.

¿Se puede pedir sólo el crucifijo o sólo el centro?

Sí. Cada pieza tiene su propia referencia y se sirve suelta, respetando el mínimo de 200 unidades. Es lo que suelen hacer los talleres que montan el rosario por su cuenta.

¿Las fotos son del producto real?

Son fotografías de los muestrarios de taller, así que reflejan fielmente el modelo. El tono del metal puede variar ligeramente entre partidas, que es el motivo por el que conviene pedir muestra en los encargos grandes.

Custom Rosaries Made to Order

This is the factory catalog we use for custom rosaries and chaplets: 320 references for crucifixes, centers, medals, beads, and cases used to assemble each piece. This is not a stock list. Items are made to order, with a minimum of 200 units per reference and finish, which is why this catalog is intended for parishes, confraternities, prayer groups, schools, and religious goods stores.

If you are looking for a single rosary or just a few units, you can find them under custom rosaries and chaplets.

How an Order is Composed

A rosary involves three choices: the cord/string/chain —cord, chain, wood, stone, or crystal—, the crucifix that finishes it, and the centerpiece that joins the two parts. Each has its own reference number in this catalog, and they can be combined freely. To place an order, simply indicate the three codes, the finish, the bead diameter, and the quantity.

Ordering Conditions

Minimum Order: 200 units per reference and finish.
Samples and Molds: Custom sample, €50. Mold for custom medal, €250; free for orders over 500 units.
Lead Times: Samples: 15 days. Production: approximately 40 days for an order of around 500 units. Longer lead times are confirmed when the order is finalized.
Payment Method: In advance, via SEPA transfer.
Bead Diameter: All beads are available in 6 mm or 8 mm. 6 mm is the standard size for children and women; 8 mm is the standard size for men. The measurements listed in each product sheet refer to the metal piece —crucifix, centerpiece, medal, or case—, not the bead.
Engraving: Only a few crucifixes have a flat back and can be engraved. Please check model by model before finalizing your order.
Color: Faceted crystal and glass pearls are ordered by color number, according to the supplier's color charts.

Photographs are taken from the workshop sample collections. They faithfully reflect the model, although the metal tone may vary slightly between batches. To order, contact us with the references and quantity.

What is Decided When Ordering a Rosary

A five-decade rosary has fifty-nine beads: fifty-three for the Hail Mary, grouped in tens, and six for the Our Father. To these are added two metal pieces that give character to the whole: the centerpiece, which joins the loop to the drop, and the crucifix at the end. All three elements are ordered separately from this catalog and can be combined freely, meaning that the exact same stringing can serve very different custom orders.

A one-decade pocket rosary works the same way but with a single decade: ten beads, one Our Father bead, and the two metal pieces. It fits in a pocket and is frequently requested for distribution at pilgrimages, retreats, or confirmations, as the unit cost is much lower compared to a full rosary.

Who Typically Orders in Bulk

The 200-unit minimum excludes individual retail buyers, and that is deliberate: this is factory production. Those who order here are usually a parish preparing for religious education classes, a confraternity renewing a token for its members, a school distributing favors for First Holy Communion, a group organizing a pilgrimage to Lourdes, Fátima, or Santiago de Compostela, or a religious goods store seeking their own proprietary line rather than the standard wholesaler offerings.

In all these cases, the order is similar: a large quantity of a specific combination, a color that identifies the group, and very often a medal or engraving not found in the catalog. That is what separates a catalog order from a truly custom one.

Extent of Customization

Three levels, from basic to advanced:

Catalog Combination. Choose the crucifix, centerpiece, material, and bead color from the references listed here. No tooling costs and the shortest lead time.
Backside Engraving. Only a few crucifixes have a flat back; on those, a name, date, or parish crest can be stamped. This must be verified model by model, as most feature relief on both sides.
Custom Medal. If the desired image does not exist —a confraternity's patron saint, a local patroness, a school logo— a mold can be made. The cost is €250, which is waived when the order exceeds 500 units.

How to Order Without Mistakes

Each piece has a code in this catalog. Simply send the codes, the finish, the bead diameter, and the quantity. A properly placed order looks like this:

150 rosaries with 8 mm walnut-colored wood beads, crucifix PR-02-CRU-014 in antique silver, and matching centerpiece PR-02-CEN-041; plus 200 blue cord chaplets with PR-01-CRU-013 and PR-01-CEN-016.

Bead diameter does not appear on the product sheets because it is not a characteristic of the piece itself, but a choice: every bead is available in 6 mm or 8 mm. 6 mm is standard for children and women, and 8 mm for men. The measurements shown on each sheet are for the metal, which helps visualize the size of the crucifix or centerpiece in the hand.

Lead Times, Samples, and Payment

A sample takes fifteen days and costs €50. This is money well spent when the order is large or when it needs to be presented to a board before approval: the metal tone and bead luster are much easier to appreciate in hand than in a photo. Production for an order of around 500 units takes about forty days; for larger quantities, the lead time is confirmed upon finalizing the order. Payment is made in advance via SEPA transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity?: 200 units per reference and finish. This is factory production, not stock retail sales. For smaller quantities, please use the custom rosaries and chaplets available in the store.
Can a name be engraved on the crucifix?: Only on models with a flat back, which are very few. Most feature relief on both sides and cannot be engraved. Please check model by model before finalizing your order.
How much does it cost to make a custom medal?: The mold costs €250. This fee is waived when the order exceeds 500 units. This is the option when the desired image —a confraternity's patron saint, a local patroness— is not in the catalog.
How long does it take to receive the order?: About 40 days for an order of around 500 units. Samples take 15 days. Lead times for larger quantities are confirmed when finalizing the order.
What sizes do the beads come in?: 6 mm and 8 mm. 6 mm is the standard size for children and women; 8 mm is the standard size for men. This is chosen when placing the order, regardless of the color.
How do I pay?: In advance, via SEPA transfer.
Can I order just the crucifix or just the centerpiece?: Yes. Each piece has its own reference and is sold individually, subject to the 200-unit minimum. This is typically what workshops do when they assemble rosaries independently.
Are the photos of the actual product?: They are photographs of the workshop sample collections, so they faithfully reflect the model. The metal tone may vary slightly between batches, which is why ordering a sample is recommended for large orders.
