This is definetly a womans topic:
As a man who prays the rosary daily for many years, I can tell you that little to none of this rosary collectors rosaries would last 6 months in my pocket with the keys. The best or most durable rosaries I found were the corded wooden beads rosary, but they only last on about 9-12 months at best and run from $5-8 dollars or more. Recently discovered knotted twine rosaries, can be made off a $12 roll of nylon twine with only .60 cents of twine, beautiful,sturdy and easily replaced. Easy to make these.

I've had good luck with the parachute cord and heavy plastic beads. Pretty much indestructible.

My "truck rosary" is a twine and wooden bead rosary that my daughter brought me back from Nicaragua - locally made.

When I lose a bead, I just saw through the side of a small wooden bead with a jeweler's saw, slide it onto the twine, and seal the gap with a little rubber cement.

It looks a little bit odd with a few off-size beads here and there, but it's fairly tough.
