This rosary is more suitable for a man than a woman. It is simple and elegant. If you like the Sunset Dumortierrite and Onyx chaplet you may like the blue color on this set of rosary beads. However, this rosary is a pure blue to the beads with no color variations to the beads. If you like the variations in color of the Sunset Dumortierrite and Onyx Chaplet I recommend buying the Chaplet instead of this rosary. If you like the simple elegance of a pure blue bead with no variations I highly recommend this rosary! This rosary has a matte finish look to it.
