This 18K gold scapular necklace is the Small Plus size in our Sacred Heart and Our Lady of Mount Carmel scapular series, handcrafted in Brazil and designed for a lifetime of devotional wear.
The devotion to the scapular has been part of Catholic life for nearly eight centuries. To wear a scapular is to place oneself under Our Lady's maternal protection and to carry a daily reminder of the consecration it represents. This piece honors that tradition in its most enduring form: two rectangular medals in solid 18K gold, one bearing the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the other Our Lady of Mount Carmel with the Child Jesus, connected by a 24-inch cable chain that allows the medals to rest close to the heart.
The Sacred Heart medal honors Christ's boundless love and mercy. The Our Lady of Mount Carmel medal represents the maternal protection promised to those who wear the scapular with faith and devotion. Together they form a complete scapular in precious metal, suited for daily wear from morning prayer to evening rest.
The Small Plus size offers a little more presence than the Small while keeping the same quiet elegance. At 12.5 mm in height, the medals are easy to see and hold during prayer, yet discreet enough to wear under clothing every day. The matte finish, framed by a polished border, gives each medal a subdued, reverent quality that distinguishes it from polished commercial jewelry and reflects the sacred purpose it serves.
How the Small Plus Compares
The Small (8.7 mm) is for those who want a devotion that is present but nearly invisible. The Small Plus (12.5 mm) adds visible detail to the Sacred Heart and to Our Lady while remaining dainty. The Classic (16.4 mm) is for those who want the scapular to be a more prominent companion throughout the day. All are crafted from the same solid 18K gold, with the same matte finish and devotional imagery.
Authenticity Hallmarks
The clasp is stamped "750," the international hallmark for 18K gold, meaning 750 parts per thousand of pure gold.

Why 18K Solid Gold
18K gold is 75% pure gold, the standard for fine devotional jewelry meant to last a lifetime and beyond. It does not tarnish, wear through, or require replating. A solid 18K gold scapular necklace given today will look identical the day it is passed to the next generation. It is the appropriate material for a devotion that is itself permanent, a sign worn not for a season but for a life.
