Rosaries are religious accessories used as tools or bridges to reach God through specific prayers; and different variants can be found, used for different functions and specific ceremonies, for example:
Five-decade rosary. This is the best known and used for the recitation of the complete Holy Rosary. It is made up of a crucifix and five groups of ten beads, and can come in different materials, from metals such as silver to wood (mainly from the olive tree for its religious value).
You can also find rosaries of five decades made of more modest materials, such as plastic, and some extremely ostentatious and sophisticated ones, made with crystal spheres; so there are variants for all tastes, styles and possibilities.
Wedding ribbon rosary. Also called wedding rosary, this religious accessory is made of two linked rosaries that share the same crucifix, and that have two loops of five decades each. Their beads are generally larger than those of the five-decade rosaries, and are more widely spaced.
First Communion Rosary. This rosary represents the first reception that Catholics give to Jesus Christ at an early age. It usually comes with a prayer book that children learn for their first communion, and is usually in a white and gold colour scheme.
