A small Our Lady of Guadalupe medal, made to stay close to the heart. Crafted in solid 14K gold, this tiny charm measures less than a third of an inch tall so that you can wear it every day, alone on a fine chain or alongside other charms. Its smooth back is ready for engraving with a name, initial, or date, turning a simple medal into a personal keepsake.
About the Design
The charm is a small oval measuring 5 mm by 7 mm, not including the bail. The front shows Our Lady of Guadalupe as she appears on the tilma of Saint Juan Diego, surrounded by rays of light and standing above the angel at her feet, set against a softly textured background inside a polished gold border. The back is smooth and polished, ready for engraving.
The charm hangs from a small ring attached to a polished, folded bail that slides easily onto most fine chains. The back of the bail is stamped 14K and the maker's mark. The chain is not included.
About the Devotion
In December 1531, Our Lady appeared to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac, near Mexico City. As a sign to the bishop, she miraculously imprinted her image on his tilma, which is still venerated today at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Her tender message, "Am I not here, I who am your mother?", has drawn millions to her for nearly five centuries.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is honored as Patroness of the Americas, and her feast is celebrated on December 12. Like every sacramental, her medal is not a charm or a guarantee. Its meaning lives in the prayer and trust in Mary that it accompanies.
