Rosary Beads from the Vatican

This answer may seem like I am splitting hairs but, actually no, you cannot purchase a pre-blessed rosary. No reputable shop in Rome will sell you a pre-blessed rosary because it is a sin (the Catechism of Catholicism calls it simony) to buy/sell any devotional item that is pre-blessed. You can, however, contact one of the reputable devotional shops near the Vatican - they will sell you the rosary and then they will take it to the next Papal Audience and have it blessed for you (should be no additional charge). You can contact one of the stores online, purchase and pay for your rosary & then pick-up your rosary during your visit to Rome.

 

Are you able to provide a link for the online store?

Sure - the link below is for a reputable company that has been in business for many years - Savelli. There is a store located at Via Paolo VI, 27 - directly across from Piazza San Pietro (I believe that they have several locations throughout the city).
