(EDIT: I made one in Photoshop. See below...) :D
While these look similar to a rosary at first glance, Anglican prayer beads are made differently and contain 33 beads (one for each year of Our Lord and Savior's earthly incarnate life) and are adapted to many prayer styles. The beads are shorter not only because there are fewer, but because they tend to be strung rather than on chain. They are very ecumenical. Here is a picture of some: Anglican Prayer Beads (http://www.mclaurinweb.com/images/apb2.gif) I guess they would look more like a chaplet than a rosary, but they tend to have a cross on them rather than a crucifix.
Oh, I think the price should be fair, too. They are available to everyone. I would think maybe 20 blessings, and it would go under Special Items: Religious. (almost forgot that part)
