14K Solid Gold Dainty Miraculous Medal Necklace, Satellite Chain 16-18"
SKU: B-PA2271
Some devotions are meant to be worn quietly, close to the heart, every single day. This dainty Miraculous Medal necklace is made entirely of solid 14K gold: a tiny oval medal of Our Lady with open hands, hanging from a delicate satellite chain set with small polished gold beads. It adjusts to 16 or 18 inches, so it sits just right on its own or layered with the pieces you already love.
About the Design
The medal is a small oval, 5.8 mm by 7.5 mm, with a polished raised border. The front shows Our Lady standing on the globe, arms lowered and hands open, with rays of grace streaming from them, and the traditional prayer inscribed around the edge. The reverse carries the classic design: the letter M joined to a cross and a bar, surrounded by twelve stars, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary beneath it.
The chain is a fine cable chain with 2 mm gold beads spaced along its length, a style often called a satellite chain. It closes with a spring ring clasp stamped 585 (14K), and an extra ring at 16 inches lets you wear it shorter or at the full 18 inches. A small tag near the clasp is stamped 14K.
About the Devotion
In 1830, Our Lady appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré, a young Daughter of Charity in Paris, and asked her to have a medal struck according to the vision she was shown. The rays from Mary's hands, she explained, are the graces she gives to those who ask for them. The medal spread so quickly, and so many graces were attributed to it, that the faithful soon called it the Miraculous Medal.
The M and the Cross on the Cross recall Mary standing at the foot of the Cross. The twelve stars recall the woman crowned with stars in the Book of Revelation, and the two hearts unite the love of the Son and the Mother. Like every sacramental, the medal is not a charm. Its meaning lives in the prayer and trust in Mary that it accompanies.
