No, for those who do not say the entire rosary everyday, the Church has recommended a plan, wherein you pray the entire rosary twice a week:
Sunday - Glorious
Monday - Joyful
Tuesday - Sorrowful
Wednesday - Glorious
Thursday - Luminous
Friday - Sorrowful
Saturday - Joyful
That being said, in the old days, when there were only three sets of mysteries, the entire rosary was prayed in six days, so Sunday was usually reserved for the set of mysteries of the season in which you were, thus from 24 December until the Epiphany, you said the Joyful mysteries on Sunday, then the Sorrowful during Lent, and the Glorious during Easter.
Traditionally, the Rosary consisted of three mysteries concerning the life of Christ: The Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries and the Glorious Mysteries. Each Mystery has five meditations assigned to it, during which the person prays an Our Father, 10 Hail Mary's and a Glory Be on the beads - this sequence is known as a "decade of the Rosary". If you pray an entire 15 decade Rosary that means you have pondered all 3 mysteries through the 5 meditations for each mystery which totals 15 decades. Recently, the pope added one more mystery, the Luminous Mysteries with 5 more meditations, so technically this now makes a full Rosary a 20 decade Rosary. The Rosary devotion dates back to the time of St. Dominic who was given it by the Blessed Virgin Mary as a powerful devotion to her for the asking of powerful graces, especially those of converting heretics.
The mysteries of the rosary that contain Jesus preaching about the kingdom of God are the Luminous Mysteries. Specifically, the first Luminous Mystery, the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, and the second Luminous Mystery, the Wedding Feast at Cana, focus on Jesus' ministry and teachings about the kingdom of God.
Rosary beads are used in prayer by Catholics to keep track of the prayers they are saying. Each bead represents a specific prayer, such as the Our Father or Hail Mary. The person holding the rosary beads moves from one bead to the next while reciting the prayers. This helps them focus on their prayers and meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.
A rosary in clasped hands typically symbolizes prayer, devotion, and a deep connection to faith. It represents the practice of meditation and contemplation, often associated with the Catholic tradition, where the rosary is used to count prayers and focus on the mysteries of Christ and the Virgin Mary. The gesture of clasping the hands around the rosary signifies surrender, submission, and a heartfelt plea for guidance or support in one's spiritual journey.
A rosary is used by Catholics-it's a necklace.

There is no Catholic bracelet but there is a smaller form of the Rosary that is worn around the wrist. The rosary is just the smaller form of the Rosary worn around the neck. It is more portable and it has only one decade instead of 5 like the larger Rosary. It functions as prayer beads as well. If you want to know what a Rosary is, look up Rosary in the related links and scroll down to The religion book paragraph. The Rosary is not to worship Mary but to ask her to pray for us. It is mainly for learning the mysteries and praying for mercy.
