Just to clear things up, when I said I am not a Catholic but a Christian, I wasn't implying by any means that Catholics are not Christians. I was meaning to say that I'm other part of the Jesus believing demographics who doesn't fall under 'Catholic' category which strongly suggests Protestant. Additionally when I said that I don't believe in Mary, I didn't mean that I deny her existance or she gave birth to baby Jesus, I just meant that I don't believe in her the same way as Catholics do, but let's not go into religious debate as that is not the purpose of this thread.

I am cautious because I don't necessarily want to offend anybody, especially because I know Rosary is special to some people, but at the same time if it's not too much of an issue I would like to wear them because I'm not trying to degrade nor flaunt it.

Hey everybody, please don't talk about not believing in Mary or whatever it is, because it can really go offtopic. for the record I am catholic though, but just saying...

Also 1tym, how much is the one you got from D&G? It looks pretty nice actually, if its not too expensive I may get one too.

As for me I wear a gold crucifix pendant, so I wouldn't wear a rosary around my neck, but I would probably wear it as a bracelet.

I don't see a problem wearing it because religion should be personal. People won't look down or thing is offensive at all. These days more than ever people should respect other people's faiths or views on religion so just do whatever u like.

But yeah please tell me how much u got it for, and if you could, please post a pic too ^^

This is what I bought.. (The guy is not me) This would cost around $200~ 250 depending on where you live. On ebay you can get it at around $50~100 but I think many of them are replicas.
