This 14K solid gold scapular medal necklace bears Our Lady of Mount Carmel on one side and the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the other, on a fine chain that adjusts to 16 or 18 inches. It is a quiet, everyday sign of a promise: to belong to Mary and to keep close to the Heart of her Son.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single rectangular medal in solid 14K yellow gold hangs at the center of a fine flat cable chain. A small ring at each upper corner joins the medal to the chain, so it sits flat and stays centered at the neckline instead of turning or flipping. One face shows Our Lady of Mount Carmel holding the Child Jesus, crowned with rays of light. The other shows the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The matte finish on the medal softens the light and lets the relief read clearly, while the bright chain adds a little sparkle around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chain closes with a spring ring clasp stamped 585 and a tag stamped 14K with the maker's mark. You can wear the same chain at 16 inches, close to the base of the neck, or at 18 inches, slightly lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Devotion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brown Scapular is one of the oldest Marian devotions in the Church. Carmelite tradition holds that in 1251 Our Lady appeared to Saint Simon Stock, prior general of the Carmelite Order, and gave him the scapular as a sign of her protection. Wearing it expresses consecration to Mary and a commitment to imitate her virtues. The Church cautions that it is a sign of faith, never a lucky charm, and that it points to a life of prayer, the sacraments, and fidelity to the Gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1910, Pope Saint Pius X permitted the faithful enrolled in the cloth scapular to wear a single medal in its place. The medal must show the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one side and an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the other, in the exact form of this medal. The devotion to the Sacred Heart itself was made known through the revelations to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque at Paray-le-Monial in the 1670s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14K solid yellow gold, matte finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedal size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 mm x 9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedal design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne double-sided medal: Our Lady of Mount Carmel \/ Sacred Heart of Jesus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttachment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed at both upper corners, centered on the chain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChain\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14K solid yellow gold flat cable chain, bright finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable, wear at 16 in or 18 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClasp\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring ring stamped 585, with tag stamped 14K and maker's mark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Turkey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackaging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite jewelry gift box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone enrolled in the Brown Scapular who wants a solid gold scapular medal for daily wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Confirmation, birthday, or Christmas gift that will last a lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose who prefer a single, minimal medal that sits close to the neckline and layers easily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA meaningful gift for a wife, mother, daughter, or godchild with a devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid 14K gold does not tarnish and can be worn every day. To protect the matte texture, clean the medal with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid polishing cloths, as they can burnish the matte surface to a shine. Remove the necklace before swimming in chlorinated water or using household chemicals, and store it in its box so the fine chain does not tangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this necklace be worn in place of the cloth Brown Scapular?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for those already enrolled in the Brown Scapular. Since 1910, the Church has permitted a single medal with the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one side and the Blessed Virgin Mary on the other to replace the cloth scapular, which is exactly the form of this medal. We always enroll with the cloth scapular, and a priest or deacon must then bless the medal. The cloth scapular remains the preferred form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this necklace blessed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Our pieces are not sold blessed. Any priest or deacon can bless it for you, often right after Mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from your other gold scapular necklaces?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our single-medal scapular necklace: one double-sided medal centered at the collarbone on a chain that adjusts to 16 or 18 inches. Our collarbone scapular necklace carries two medals side by side, and our 18K gold scapular necklaces come on longer 24-inch chains that rest at the chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the length adjustable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You can wear the same chain at 16 inches, at the base of the neck near the collarbone, or at 18 inches, slightly lower. The medal stays centered at either length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this solid gold or gold-filled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid 14K gold.
