Other Ring Rosaries
Other cultures use ring rosaries. Specially in case of religious persecutions against Catholic people. These rosaries are small and can be hidden in clothes. An example is the Irish penal rosary also with 10 beads. However, they also were worn for protection and adornment at times when Catholicism was not persecuted, as it would be more difficult to break or wear-down a rosary ring, rather than a traditional rosary threaded onto a string.

Famous quotes containing the word ring:
“It is engend’red in the eyes,
With gazing fed; and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.
Let us all ring fancy’s knell.
I’ll begin it—Ding, dong, bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
