What parts of the rosary can we customize?
We offer three levels of customization. Depending on your budget we can customize: 1.) only the Centerpiece; 2.) the Crucifix & Centerpiece, or 3.) the Crucifix, Centerpiece and four Our Father Medals. Of course we offer myriad bead styles, sizes, finishes, materials, shapes and colors to add extra exclusivity and originality to your beautiful keepsake.
What is the cost to produce our custom rosary?
This depends on the level of customization required and determined at the outset. A good cost estimate range is $14 – $50 wholesale. (Clients often double the wholesale cost to arrive at their desired retail price. We add lots of value to the rosary and create it at twice the wholesale cost (e.g. a $25 wholesale rosary will look/feel like a $50 + rosary.)
What is included in the cost of producing a custom rosary?
We provide you with an initial Rosary Diagram layout, 3D Design Renderings, and physical pre-production samples.
How long does it take to produce our custom rosary and receive our order?
Our custom rosaries are designed and made in Italy. All our rosaries are assembled by hand. The process is a meticulous and careful one — although we will do our best to honor your in-hand date. Production, from start to finish (design to delivery) is typically 8 – 12 weeks. Certain factors may change this range: how quickly reviews and approvals for design can be secured, Christmas and Liturgical seasons and other holiday seasons, etc.
How many rosaries do we have to order?
A good minimum initial order to consider is approximately 150 – 250 rosaries. Over a 12-month period clients often order up to 500 rosaries. Some of our clients have ordered between 750 – 1000 rosaries or more during this period because of the overwhelming response they experience. Read Client Testimonials here.
