The rosary intended to be used during prayer and meditation and not as jewlery. Someone who wears a rosary to have it handy to use in prayer or so it wouldn't get lost is fine. When I was a child, nuns would wear a rosary around their neck - but it was there for them to use in prayer/meditation and not as a fashion statement. Some people say it's a sin to wear a rosary because misusing a prayer tool as a fashioto make a fashipn statement is disrespectful.

Yes, you can pray with an unblessed rosary. The blessing of a rosary is not required for prayer, but it can enhance the spiritual experience for some individuals.
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.
