Even more beautiful in real life than they are in the picture. Well constructed and arrived quickly. Note that this is not a mini-rosary, that is, the beads are decent sized. I was worried that it would be heavy at that size, but the beads are very lightweight and the weight isn't a distraction when holding them. Note that it does not come with a bag or holder, so you'll probably want to either purchase one from a local craft store (or Amazon...lol) or do what I did and make one. It is a beautiful way to honor the Blessed Mother.
