14k Yellow Gold Round Our Lady of Lourdes Medal (18.5 MM)

Bernadette Soubirous , also known as Sister Marie-Bernard of the Convent of Saint-Gildard, is the patron saint of shepherds. She was born in France and suffered ill health all her life. In her childhood she reported seeing visions of the Blessed Mary. According to her account, Our Lady told her to dig in the mud which unearthed a spring that was the source of many miracles for those who used its water. Bernadette requested the local priest to build a chapel at the site. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is now one of the major Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world with about five million people visiting annually. She took the religious habit of a postulant and joined the Sisters of Charity. The Mother Superior gave her the name Marie-Bernarde in honor of her godmother who was named "Bernarde." She died of a long-term illness at the age of 35. A dozen movies about her life have been made. Her Feast Day is April 16.

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.
