No, it is not.
Roman Catholic AnswerChristians, as in friars, nuns, and sisters have worn rosaries for many centuries. It is usually worn clipped to the belt. The rosary, of course, is a means of prayer and meditation and it should be handy so that you can use it. Most people find that carrying the rosary in their pockets is the most helpful way to do this. If you are not Catholic, I don't know if it would be considered a sin so much as just disrespectful of others to whom it is an object of great devotion, and to Our Blessed Mother, and Her Son. Above all, the rosary is not a "fashion accessory", it means belief in Jesus and is a means of praying and asking Mary to pray for you as well. I would see no reason whatsoever to wear a rosary if you were not Catholic except as a way to offend good Catholics. If your religion considers such an offense a sin, then, yes, it would be considered a sin in that instance.There was one king who used to wear the rosary, attached to his belt, in order to inspire other people to say it:
The following is taken from the Eight rose in The Secret of the Rosary by Louis De Monford:
Alphonsus, King of Leon and Galicia, very much wanted all his servants to honor the Blessed Virgin by saying the Rosary. So he used to hang a large rosary on his belt and always wore it, but unfortunately never said it himself. Nevertheless his wearing it encouraged his courtiers to say the Rosary very devoutly.
One day the King fell seriously ill and when he was given up for dead he found himself, in a vision, before the judgment seat of Our Lord. Many devils were there accusing him of all the sins he had committed and Our Lord as Sovereign Judge was just about to condemn him to hell when Our Lady appeared to intercede for him. She called for a pair of scales and had his sins placed in one of the balances whereas she put the rosary that he had always worn on the other scale, together with all the Rosaries that had been said because of his example. It was found that the Rosaries weighed more than his sins.
Looking at him with great kindness Our Lady said: "As a reward for this little honor that you paid me in wearing my Rosary, I have obtained a great grace for you from my Son. Your life will be spared for a few more years. See that you spend these years wisely, and do penance."
When the King regained consciousness he cried out: "Blessed be the Rosary of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, by which I have been delivered from eternal damnation!"
After he had recovered his health he spent the rest of his life in spreading devotion to the Holy Rosary and said it faithfully every day. People who love the Blessed Virgin out to follow the example of King Alphonsus and that of the saints whom I have mentioned so that they too may win other souls for the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. They will then receive great graces on earth and eternal life later on. "They that explain me shall have life everlasting life." [1] Ecclus. 24:31
There have also been reports that at one of the apparitions of Our Blessed Lady, she asked that the rosary be worn around your neck. I have not heard of that, I'm just reporting what I've been told. All of that being said, I think if you have good and pious reasons for wearing a rosary, then you should consider it. If the reasons are vain or frivolous I would definitely not do it.
What else can I help you with?
What does it mean when you found a black rosary?
It means that some man has lost his rosary. Superstition (putting meanings on things like this) is a sin in the Catholic faith.
Is it offensive to wear rosary beads?
Answer from a CatholicSome people find it very offensive if you are not wearing a religious habit of which the rosary on the belt is part. If you are not Catholic and you are just wearing them for decoration, then, yes, it is extremely offensive to a fervent Catholic to see the Mother of God's holy rosary treated like a fashion accessory by someone who has no more interest in praying with it and doesn't even know what it is for.
Is it OK for a non-Catholic to wear a Catholic symbol such as a rosary?
The rosary is meant for prayer, it isn't jewelry. You could wear a cross necklace; and it is okay to wear a cross necklace if it is blessed too. So the answer is NO. Most Catholics would be offended if you wear the Rosary, but not because you are not Catholic, but because the Rosary is NOT meant to be worn. Rosary beads are a sacred tool used for prayer and worship. They may be beautiful, but they are not to be worn as jewelry. It is acceptable to wear a rosary only if you wear it out of devotion to Christ and Mary. It just so happens to appear to be jewelry. I wear my rosary only so i can have Mary close to my heart at all times, there is no doctrine of the Catholic Church forbidding it so as long as it is out of devotion and not for the sake of vanity then it is okay Whether Catholics consider it acceptable for Catholics to wear a rosary depends on the cultural context. It would only be suitable for a non-Catholic to wear a rosary in a culture that permits Catholics to wear one, and then it would only be suitable if the non-Catholic had some sort of appropriate devotion to it. The only time I have ever seen a habit worn normally is by a religious (priest, brother, nun, or sister). In this case, the rosary hangs from their belt on the side so that it is always within reach when you wish to pray. In this day and age, I have seen a few people wearing a rosary around their neck. As noted above, the rosary is NOT jewelry, if you wish to wear a rosary around your neck, I would recommend that you wear it under your clothing as many Catholics would be offended by people wearing a rosary as a necklace.

How do you wear a rosary?
If you want to wear a Rosary, you may wear it in any way you please. It's a free country. However, be aware that a Rosary is not jewelry.A Rosary is an aid to prayer and a powerful symbol used to recall the events in Jesus's life, Think of how people described stained-glass windows in the Middle ages, "the poor man's Bible."Would you buy a Jewish yarmulke and ask a Rabbi if it's okay to mount a propeller on it so you can wear it to a costume party?If you you drape a Rosary around your neck or your wrist, you are displaying ignorance of other people's religion, mocking--aping--their faith and prayers, and needlessly insulting them and their religion.How do you wear a Rosary? I would be surprised if a Catholic would wear a rosary, unless the Catholic were completely ignorant of the basic elements of his or her religion.But if you have the misguided idea that you are paying tribute to the Catholic religion by aping it, let me ask you a question that may shed light on your behavior. Would you go to a Jewish synagogue during services, sit down in front of the Rabbi, wearing phylacteries around your neck like a necklace, or wearing a prayer shawl as a necktie? Even if you insisted you had only the best of intentions, you would look like a fool, no one would believe you, and no one would be any the less insulted.Wear your Rosary if you like. It's a free country, as I said.You might consider finding a priest to ask him to bless the Rosary, which is traditionally what Catholics do before they begin using the Rosary. The blessing is a prayer that sets the Rosary apart for religious purposes, and then the priest asks God to bless the people who use the Rosary to pray, and bless the people they pray for. And then think why you're wearing the Rosary..Answer from a CatholicThe way to wear a rosary is to join an Religious Order, like the Dominicans, of which the rosary is part of their Habit that they wear attached to their belt. Some people find it very offensive if you are not wearing a religious habit of which the rosary on the belt is part. If you are not Catholic and you are just wearing them for decoration, then, yes, it is extremely offensive to a fervent Catholic to see the Mother of God's holy rosary treated like a fashion accessory by someone who has no more interest in praying with it and doesn't even know what it is for.
