How do you pray using a Rosary Ring?

Using a Rosary ring involves a similar process to using a traditional Rosary, but adapted for the ring's design. Here’s how you can use a Rosary ring:

1. Positioning the Ring: Place the Rosary ring on your finger, usually the index finger, with the crucifix (if present) facing outward.

2. Starting the Prayer: Begin by making the Sign of the Cross and reciting the Apostles' Creed.

3. First Decade: Hold the first notch between your thumb and index finger. Recite the Our Father prayer.

4. Hail Mary Beads: Move to the next notch and recite the Hail Mary prayer. Continue moving from notch to notch, reciting a Hail Mary at each one until you complete ten Hail Marys (one full decade).

5. Glory Be: After completing the ten Hail Marys, recite the Glory Be to the Father.

6. Next Decade: Move to the next notch and repeat the process, starting with the Our Father and continuing with ten Hail Marys and one Glory Be for each decade.

7. Concluding Prayers: After completing five decades (or as many as you choose to pray), conclude with the Hail Holy Queen prayer and any additional prayers you may wish to include.

8. Sign of the Cross: End your Rosary prayer with the Sign of the Cross.

What is the benefit of a solid sterling Rosary ring?

Solid sterling is superior to silver-plated jewelry due to its durability, longevity, and intrinsic value. Unlike plated items, which can wear off over time, precious metals maintains its appearance and structural integrity indefinitely, making it a lasting investment. Solid metal also retains its value and can appreciate over time, offering more financial security.

Something to also keep in mind, sterling silver is generally hypoallergenic, reducing the risk of skin irritation that can occur with the base metals used in plated items.
