Anyone make and sell rosaries? I make rosary necklaces and bracelets. I'm attempting to sell them at raisingsaints.etsy.com to no avail. Any suggestions for other sales outlets?

If they are of quality perhaps a generic Christian or specific Catholic bookstore giftshop? One thing you may not wish to refer to the pieces as jewelry or in terms of jewelry (such as necklace and bracelet) while some of them can be quite precious and elaborate to behold, they are all tools towards devotions, and if they are blessed they have become sacramentals. Some Catholics may find the jewelry and fashion terminology offensive. Best of success with your endeavors

Thank you for your suggestions. I understand the reference to jewelry and the possible offense. I had some reservations when I first started making rosaries. While I do make traditional five decade rosaries, I primarily make single decade necklaces and bracelets. It actually is jewelry and I thought they could be a way to evangelize and spark conversation. I definitely don't sell sacramentals, but I do give them as gifts:)

I don't make rosaries. I would suggest you contact local Catholic churches and see if any have "gift shops". They might be willing to carry them or take orders. I am going to go to your site and take a look at your rosaries. I know someone else who makes them and now my curiosity has been piqued.
