The praying of the rosary is deeply symbolic. Dating back centuries, the recitation of prayer using simple beads carved from wood or stone, or simply counting prayers from a knotted rope has brought comfort, solace and hope to countless generations.
The book of Kells rosary draws its inspiration from the actual Book of Kells, a hand drawn illuminated manuscript of the four gospels. Created around the year 800AD this is considered as one of the finest works of its kind and is one of Ireland’s national treasures. The crucifix is a replica of St Columba’s cross on the island of Iona, where its believed the book was created.
The center, or heart is a reproduction of one of the finest folio, or pages from the manuscript and the colors used in the beads reflect the pigments used in the ornate decorations embellishing the book itself.
This rosary is truly a classic, inspired by our national treasure and constructed with care using the finest materials.
We hope that you will enjoy and find inner peace with our special rosary.

Please read more about this piece below.
The first Irish rosary beads were made using simple stones or animal horns. The peace and tranquility found in the recitation of prayer has brought calm and reflection to generations for centuries. This unique handmade rosary is inspired by many aspects from The Book of Kells.
The cross is a replica of the High Cross at the Monastery of Iona. This is where The Book of Kells was created around 800 AD. The source of colors used in the Book were taken from rare plants and minerals such as indigo (blue/purple), orcien (purple) and orpiment (yellow) and are reflected in the beads.
These beads are an heirloom piece and make a very special gift. We have been hand crafting rosary beads here in Ireland since 1945. Our business began in a small workshop in Terenure Place and soon expanded as international travel became more common place. Although we now are known for our Celtic Jewelry we pride ourselves on the quality and authenticity of our prayer beads.
