Frequently Asked Questions
How are the rose petal beads made?
The rose beads are made by using an all-natural fermentation process. After the roses have fermented they are transformed into a soft, black, clay-like substance, measured individually for uniform size and hand rolled into beads. The finished beads are very durable and should last a lifetime.
What if I do not have enough roses?
If you do not have enough roses to fill your order we can add roses for you at no extra charge.
What color are the beads?
During the fermenting process the roses will turn black and therefore no matter what color the rose the bead will be black.
Will the roses retain their scent?
During the fermenting process the roses lose all of their natural scent. After we complete the product we mist it with rose oil to give it the fragrance of a natural rose.
Which items can be engraved?
The crucifix on the rosary and the chaplet can be engraved. Engraving is done in one line on the back of the crucifix. There is enough space for 20 letters and/or numbers.
Can these products get wet?
This all natural product is water-soluble and should not come into contact with water. If you feel you need to clean your rose petal keepsake you can wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
How long will it take to have my products made?
It takes about 4 weeks to process the roses and complete the order.
