Do Greek orthodox use a rosary?
Yes, Greek Orthodox do use a rosary. It is called a komboskni and is made of knotted black yarn. There is one that is made to slip over a wrist, which contains 33 "bead-knots." Each knot, or bead, is made of several knots. At the point in which the komboskini bead-knots are joined, they sometimes also contain a knotted bead which which looks like a cross. The Jesus prayer is recited. Generally the komboskini is given by a loved one, or a Nun (part of your spiritual family.) There is also a longer komboskini, which contains 99 knotted beads, and at the place where the knots are joined, a red cross is made out of knotted/wrapped red yarn. It is my understanding that the Jesus prayer is also recited with the longer komboskini. This komboskini, and one that is about 15 inches in length, seem to be the closest to non-Orthodox rosaries.

Can you wear prayer beads?
ALMOST anything can be done, as long as it's with respect. If you're not Catholic and just want to wear it because you think it's nice as a design, my personal opinion is why not? As long as you use it with respect (in other words, don't wear it upside down or something, or taunt people with it) I feel it shouldn't offend anyone because only people who know you, know you're not Catholic, and just explain you like the style. But remember, it is a religious symbol, and if you're not Catholic, don't you think you might be in a contradiction? If you don't have any issues with that, then go right ahead. I'm not Catholic but I wear one sometimes, because there are some that are fabulously made. But always, when I wear it, it's with respect for those who put a religious value to it.Wearing the Rosary with the respect and devotion that it signifies keeps it close to the heart and can demonstrate a Marian devotion. However it is not in and of itself a talisman or ward. Though it does incorporate the Holy symbol of the crucifix.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.
