10k Yellow Gold Our Lady of Guadalupe Medal 25.75x25.75mm

Our Lady of Guadalupe is considered the patroness of Mexico and the Continental Americas and the protector of unborn children. Accounts state that in 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego in what is now Mexico City. She left a miraculous image of herself on his tilma which survives to this day. It can be seen in the magnificent Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in México City which is visited by 20 million pilgrims per year. Not even the accident in 1791, when muriatic acid fell on the tilma, nor the terrorist attack by a bomb in 1921 has been able to destroy it. They showed that patches of varnish had been applied over the eyes of the image to protect the surface but no evidence of a painting was found. Scientists are unable to explain the image or its color values and state of preservation over 500 years. Her Feast Day is December 12.

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. This is 'earth friendly' as it is made with the Refined Karats system certified by Scientific Certification Systems' (SCS) strict requirements. 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, quite simply, a great investment all around.
