Rhodium Plated 14k Yellow Gold Round Hollow St. Lucy Medal (18.5MM)

Lucia of Syracuse (283–304) is the patron saint of the blind and those with eye trouble. In addition to being the patroness of Syracuse in Sicily, Saint Lucy is also the patron saint of the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia, one of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles. Lucy was a young Christian martyr who died during the Diocletianic persecution. The oldest archaeological evidence comes from the Greek inscriptions from the catacombs of St. John in Syracuse. In medieval accounts, Saint Lucy's eyes are gouged out prior to her execution. Throughout many countries, special customs, devotions and holidays are observed, and festivals and processions are held to celebrate her Feast Day on December 13.

Rhodium is hypoallergenic; it is a liquid metal which is extracted from platinum after being pulled from the mine. Rhodium plating makes a hard, smooth finish; it creates a gorgeous white on the gold giving it a two-tone effect and a very deep shine and is hypoallergenic.

It's fitting this is crafted of gold; it's 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; it also represents love in the Bible. 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; this is from 100 percent recycled Karats.

The rising price of gold makes this, quite simply, a great investment all around.
