Terrific item! (Can't wait for economies-of-scale to drive down $/unit cost!)
Very superior to the multitude of ultimately fragile Rosaries I've carried over the years. So much so that I'm willing to grant the makers what must be a serious profit margin, on a per unit sale. Because, after one look at the materials and assembly, versus the price charged, they clearly must net up to 75% profit over their gross assembly costs...<br /><br />HOWEVER, this is, after all, a relatively new product. I can't imagine it was a low-cost op for them to market this and to acquire some relatively effective distribution channels. And, after all, absent those costs incurred on properly bringing the item to market, the makers would just be selling &#34;onesy-twosey style,&#34; on Etsy or somewhere similar.<br /><br />SO... I will be keeping an eye on this item. And once the makers have recouped their R&D, marketing and G/O-H costs--assuming sales have continued to climb--I'll look forward to buying the item in bulk. Because it will make for a terrific gift item to MANY different sorts of people in my life.
