Father Z,
The rosary you picture came to you from Beth Small, a stalwart member of the TLM community to which I belong.
Her “Immaculata Rosaries” has no connection whatsoever with the “Immaculata Rosaries” that you link.
In correction, perhaps I may give Beth’s correct contact information:

The head of the British Secret Service sent you a Rosary, Father?
The best rosaries I ever saw were made by a man in the American TFP. Apparently, his are made so strong you could hang from a branch with them.
I have a Saint Benedict rosary from the Catholic shop in St. Paul. It is very well made.
A propos of strong rosaries: what should one do if one has a not-so-strong rosary that breaks in some way? I have a few, but one is pretty cheap (I got it from an adult catechism class) and it broke; it didn’t break on a link, several of the plastic beads broke apart and can’t be replaced. I can’t bring myself to throw it in the trash, what should I do with it?
Steve K., the procedure is to burn or bury them, as with all sacramentals that have outlived their use.

Unfortunately Queen of Peace Rosaries has had this message up on all pages for more than a year and a half: “WE ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ANY ORDERS AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.” I hope everything’s alright with her and her family. They really are beautiful and reasonably priced for their apparent quality.
Kevin: Sadly.
Steve K,
You have a problem with a very easy solution.
Look in the yellow pages, or google for any bead shop in your area. Like scrapbooking, beading is a very popular craft among woman right now.
Then take your rosary to the bead shop and asks one of the kind girls if anyone could help you fix it.
I bet you’ll have it fixed very quickly, perhaps even on the spot!
Best,
Tod Torrent
If a rosary is broken too badly even to have beads and links replaced, and if it’s been blessed to be a sacramental, then you dispose of it as a sacramental. I think there was a thread about that on here, once.
My problem is that, whenever I try to use a rosary and take it places, it seems to either get mislaid or possibly get stolen. I hope God using my absentmindedness for good and delivering them to good homes, because I’ve lost two good ones that way now. (I guess I need to go to the ones made out of string, and tie them to something I won’t lose… like a body part….)
