This 14K solid gold scapular necklace carries the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Mount Carmel on a short chain that adjusts to 16 or 18 inches, made to be worn every day, under a collar or on its own. It is a quiet 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\u003eTwo small rectangular medals in solid 14K yellow gold hang at the front of a fine flat cable chain, fixed 0.8 inches apart so they always sit evenly at the neckline. Each medal is double-sided, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one face and Our Lady of Mount Carmel holding the Child Jesus on the other. The matte finish on the medals softens the light and lets the relief read clearly, while the bright chain adds a little sparkle around it. The chain closes with a spring ring clasp and a tag stamped 14K.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear the same chain at 16 inches, close to the base of the neck, or at 18 inches, slightly lower, so you can choose the fit each day.

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 medal in its place. The medal must carry the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one side and an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the other, the same pairing found on each medal of this necklace. 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\u003eMedals\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\u003eApprox. 6 mm x 9 mm (w\/o bail) each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedal design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo double-sided medals: Sacred Heart of Jesus \/ Our Lady of Mount Carmel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedal spacing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed, 0.8 in (approx. 20 mm) apart\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 with tag stamped 14K\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 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 delicate piece 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 medals 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 medal with the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one side and Our Lady on the other to replace the cloth scapular. Each medal on this necklace carries both images. Enrollment is always done 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.

You can wear the same chain at 16 inches, at the base of the neck near the collarbone, or at 18 inches, slightly lower. Both medals stay centered at the front at either length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this solid gold or gold-filled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid 14K gold.
