14k Yellow Gold Our Lady of Loreto Medal Charm (21X15MM)

Our Lady of Loreto refers to the house in which the Virgin Mary was born and where the Annunciation occurred. Legend says it was miraculously moved from Nazareth by angels first to Tersato, Dalmatia in 1291, then Recanati, Italy in 1294, and finally to Loreto, Italy where it has been for centuries. Not surprisingly, she is the patron saint of pilots, airmen and flight attendants. The long life of the house led also to the patronage of builders and construction workers. There exists another more scientific theory. According to Papal archivist Guiseppe Lapponi, in 1291 a family by the name of Angeli saved the bricks of the Holy House from the Muslim invasion. This information can be found on page 181 of the collection Chartularium Culinanense. Allegedly, in 1294, Niceforo Angeli sent the bricks to Italy as a wedding gift for his daughter. The arrival dates to December 10, 1294.

It is fitting this special piece is crafted of gold; it is said spiritual energy and power are activated and awakened by wearing or praying with gold. Gold represents the spiritual treasure gained by transforming the spirit; gold also represents love in the Bible. Optimistic and positive, gold adds richness and warmth to everything with which it is associated. It illuminates and enhances. Gold represents perfection in all things.

Proudly made in America with a green process of ethically, environmentally and socially responsible production processes of water, waste and energy management; the gold is from 100 percent recycled Karats.

The rising price of gold makes this a great investment.
