This is such a novel rosary, and for the price it is exceptionally beautiful. I like how the material is almost all from Jerusalem and that it is hand made by Christians there. The product does, however lack precision in the wood beads. They are all roughly the same size, but they aren't perfectly spherical; some are slightly oblonged and a few have defects in the staining process or where knots were in the wood. However, this doesn't have to be a bad thing. It's what makes each rosary unique. And for the price, you can't beat it.
