Rhodium-Plated 14k White Gold Large Miraculous Medal Pendant

Probably the most popular-selling medal of all time. In 1830, the Virgin Mary appeared to a nun named Sister (now Saint) Catherine Laboure in Paris and showed her a vision of this exact medal which she directed to be struck and distributed. The front depicts an image of Mary inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe, wearing many rings of different colors, most of which show rays of light over the globe. Around the margin of the frame are the words “O Mary! conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!" The back features an ‘M’ surmounted by a cross, with two hearts and twelve stars. The large letter "M" symbolizes Mary as Mother, Mediatrix; the cross and bar is for Jesus' cross of redemption; the 12 stars represent the 12 apostles, who formed the first Church; the left heart is the Sacred Heart, who died for our sins.

Rhodium is hypoallergenic; it is a liquid metal extracted from platinum after being pulled from the mine. It makes a hard, smooth finish on gold giving it a very deep shine.

Gold is one of the first-born metals to be on display and used by man. The rich color of gold has long been related with divine intelligence, fruitfulness and faithfulness. The spiritual meaning of gold is significant, 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. The Golden Age and gold represent and assist in knowledge of Celestial things, bringing on the essence of lifting your spiritual acumen. Because of its resistance to heat and acid, it is a symbol of stability, eternity and perfection.

The rising price of gold makes this a great investment.
