14k Yellow Gold Saint Gerard Medal Charm (19X12MM)

St. Gerard Majella (April 6, 1726 – October 16, 1755), was an Italian lay brother of the Redemptorists, a missionary order dedicated to preaching the word of God to the poor. He worked as a gardener, sacristan, tailor, porter, cook, carpenter, and clerk of works. He is the patron saint of expectant mothers explained by this story: Gerard visited the Pirofalo family and accidentally dropped his handkerchief. One of the daughters spotted it moments after he’d left the house, and ran after Gerard to return it. “Keep it,” he said, “You may need it someday." Years later when the girl, now married, was on the verge of dying in childbirth, she asked for the handkerchief to be brought to her. Almost immediately the pain disappeared and she gave birth to a healthy child. Gerard died at age 29 of tuberculosis. In 1977, St. Gerard's Chapel in St. Lucy's Church (Newark, New Jersey) was made a national shrine.

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 a great investment.
