Frequently Asked Questions
About our bracelets
What are the Catholic monthly devotions?
For centuries, Catholics have dedicated each month of the year to a particular devotion: January to the Holy Name of Jesus, March to Saint Joseph, May to the Blessed Virgin Mary, June to the Sacred Heart, October to the Holy Rosary and November to the Poor Souls in Purgatory. The Church encourages these devotions, though they are not required. Each of our monthly bracelet sets is designed around its month's devotion.
Why are there two April bracelet sets?
April is traditionally associated with both the Blessed Sacrament and the Holy Spirit, so we offer a set for each. Choose the devotion that speaks to you, or wear them together.
Are your bracelets handmade?
Yes. Every Cor Meum bracelet is strung by hand in the USA.
What are the bracelets made of?
Each design is different. Depending on the bracelet, the beads may be natural stone, wood, acrylic or other decorative beads. Medals, crosses and charms are coated metal. Every bracelet is strung on heavy-duty stretch elastic, so there is no clasp to fasten.
Are the bracelets blessed?
No. Church law does not permit blessed objects to be sold, so our bracelets are shipped unblessed. We encourage you to ask a priest or deacon to bless your bracelet once it arrives.
Can I wear my bracelet in water?
Yes, your bracelet can get wet. Frequent exposure to water and the elements can shorten the life of the elastic, so for the longest wear, take it off before swimming or showering.
Sizing
What size should I order?
Women's bracelets come in Small (6.5 in), Regular (7 in) and Large (7.5 in). Men's bracelets come in Small (7 in), Regular (7.5 in) and Large (8 in). Regular fits most wrists. Measure snugly around your wrist and add about half an inch. See our bracelet size guide for step-by-step instructions.
Do you make children's or custom sizes?
Our First Communion Bracelet Set comes in 6 in and 6.5 in. For other children's sizes or a custom fit, contact us about a custom order.
Gifts and custom orders
How is my bracelet packaged?
Every bracelet arrives in a small decorative black pouch, ready to give as a gift.
Which bracelet is best for a First Communion or Confirmation?
Our First Communion Bracelet Set was made for that day. For Confirmation, many families choose the Saint Michael Bracelet Set or a bracelet for the confirmation saint.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Whether you would like a custom size, a particular saint or a design for a parish or special occasion, contact us to learn more.
