The Virgen de Guadalupe at your wrist, on a soft velvet band you can change to match your day. This silver-plated Virgen de Guadalupe bracelet is made in Spain in the tradition of Spanish devotional jewelry, a simple, beautiful way to keep La Morenita close, in the cool tone of antique silver.

About the Design

The 0.81 by 0.71 inch medal shows the Virgen de Guadalupe in her traditional image, standing on the crescent moon and surrounded by rays of light. The back is smooth and plain. It is finished with a 10-micron silver plating, a generous layer for a plated piece, in an antique silver finish: the background is darkened so the figure of Our Lady and her rays stand out in bright silver. Small connectors on each side of the medal hold a flat, 0.39-inch-wide elastic velvet band that stretches to slip on and adjusts with a sliding silver-plated ring. The bracelet arrives on a black velvet band, with three more bands in garnet, aqua, and navy blue included in the box, so one medal becomes four different looks.

About the Devotion

In December 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac, in what is now Mexico City. As a sign for the bishop, she left her image on his tilma, the cloak that is still venerated today at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She appeared as a mother, speaking to Juan Diego with tenderness and asking that a church be built where she could show her love to all who came to her. The Church celebrates her feast on December 12 and honors her as Patroness of the Americas. Worn with faith, her medal is not a charm but a sacramental, a reminder to entrust yourself to her care and to follow her Son.

Specifications

Who This Is For

For women who love the Virgen de Guadalupe, prefer the look of silver, and want a piece they can wear every day, with a band color for every outfit.

A meaningful gift for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12, Mother's Day or Día de las Madres, Confirmation, or a daughter, sister, or friend who keeps her faith close.

Care Instructions

Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising, since water and sweat wear down plating and can stiffen velvet. Keep perfume, lotion, and cleaning products away from the medal. Silver naturally darkens over time, so store the bracelet and spare velvet bands flat in the gift box, away from air, humidity, and direct sunlight. Wipe the medal gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid silver dips and polishing cloths, which can remove the darkened antique finish that gives the medal its depth. Avoid overstretching the band when putting it on or taking it off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Virgen de Guadalupe?

The Virgen de Guadalupe, Our Lady of Guadalupe, is the title given to the Virgin Mary for her 1531 appearance to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac in Mexico. Her image, left on Juan Diego's tilma, is kept at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The Church celebrates her feast on December 12 and honors her as Patroness of the Americas.

Which velvet band colors are included?

The bracelet arrives mounted on a black velvet band, with three additional bands in garnet, aqua, and navy blue included in the box.

Is there a matching necklace?

Yes. Our Silver-Plated Dainty Virgen de Guadalupe Medal Velvet Choker features the same Virgen de Guadalupe medal design on the same velvet bands so that you can wear them together as a coordinated set.

Is it available in gold?

Yes. The same bracelet is available as the Gold-Plated Virgen de Guadalupe Medal Velvet Bracelet, with 24K gold plating in a matte finish.

How do I change the velvet band?

Untie the knot at the end of the band, slide off the ring and the medal, then thread the new band through the medal connectors and the ring in the same order, and tie the ends again. It takes about a minute.

Will this bracelet fit my wrist?

The bracelet measures 6 inches at rest, and the elastic velvet band stretches to slip over your hand. The sliding ring lets you adjust the fit. It fits most women's wrists comfortably. If your wrist measures more than 6.5 inches, it may feel snug. We recommend measuring your wrist before ordering.

Is this bracelet sterling silver?

No. The medal is made of a metal alloy with a 10-micron silver plating. Ten microns is a thick layer for plated jewelry, which helps the silver last with everyday wear. It is designed as an accessible devotional piece.

Can I wear it in water?

We recommend removing it before showering or swimming to protect the silver plating and the velvet.

Is the bracelet blessed?

Our pieces are not sold blessed. Any priest or deacon can bless it for you.
