Collection: Connemara Marble

The company was the brainchild of my grandfather Thomas, when he and some of his oldest friends formed The Irish Consolidated Bead Company on the 28th November 1945 . The aim of that company was to produce Rosary beads for the Irish and overseas market, and was based in a small workshop in Terenure Place, Dublin.

Some of the earliest products produced were rosaries made of horn, wood and Connemara marble and in 1947 he supplied rosaries to the world’s first duty-free shop in Shannon Airport.
