Do you think that this would be a good way to make money? I ws thinking of selling it online, like on ebay or something. I like to wear rosaries as do my hubby. I know a lot of people in Arkansas like to wear them as well. So do yu think this can be a good nvestment or not? Would you buy one?

Yes I do think it's a good idea, I was born a southern baptist but i have one or two. The rosaries help people to pray whether you are catholic or not and sometimes a point of contact for prayers of all denominations. If you profit(if you want to) make sure to donate at least ten percent to the church or catholic social services.

hello, I think it can be a good source of additional income , everything is worth a try these days, think you can make more if you do it yourself and would get to sell more if you make it like a designer or limited edition or unique material kind of stuff ( no disrespect for Catholics meant, just stating a business principle). In my country you can ask people to sell them for you in church entrances ( I know it's different there),perhaps besides selling online, you might also want to consider supplying them to catholic supply stores. You have nothing to lose because the product does not spoil or expire and does not go out of style so long as there are Catholics, good luck

I am not catholic so I do not use rosaries. My friend bought a beautiful set of rosaries for her daughter. I am not sure where you want to sell them but if you check on ebay for the prices that they are selling for you can get an idea if it will be worth it to buy/make them and sell them!

Hi Aisha! My sister is actually in the rosary business. She is currently working on her website as well. Is it a good way to make money? Hmm... Well, it can be a suitable souvenir for catholic weddings; other than that... i cant think of how marketable a rosary can get. My sister makes the beautiful ones in beads as she really excels in beadworks. Whenever she sells them, she does get compliments on the craftsmanship but it was way too expensive compared to the typical wood and thread rosaries that can be bought for a half dollar. In your case though, you must be thinking of fashion. Even so, i could not recommend it as well because fashion change from time to time.

hello aisha! rosaries is a good sign of loving God. but we can't force people to like it. specially when they are not Catholic. only Catholics can appreciate that i think. it also depends on what they believe in. i think rosaries are meant to be given to friends and loved ones. i am not like in favor of selling them. i just find it hard to see any religious symbols being sold. it's just like that.
