Gold-Plated Large Scapular Medal Velvet Choker Necklace, Mount Carmel & Sacred Heart, Adjustable 20"
SKU: MD-1010
A large scapular medal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, worn close to the neck on a soft velvet choker. This gold-plated scapular medal necklace is made in Spain in the tradition of Spanish devotional jewelry, a bold, elegant way to carry one of the Church's most beloved Marian devotions.
About the Design
The 1.38-inch round medal shows Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned and holding the crowned Christ Child, who offers the scapular. The reverse shows the Sacred Heart of Jesus, crowned with a halo and radiating light. The medal is finished with a 10-micron 24K gold plating, a generous layer for a plated piece, in a soft matte gold finish that brings out the fine relief of both images. It hangs on a flat, 0.39-inch-wide elastic velvet band that adjusts up to 20 inches with a sliding gold-plated ring so that you can wear it close to the neck as a choker or a little lower. The necklace arrives on a black velvet band, with three additional bands in garnet, aqua, and navy blue included.
About the Devotion
The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is one of the most cherished sacramentals of the Church. Worn by Carmelites for centuries and by countless lay Catholics, it is a sign of consecration to Mary and of trust in her maternal protection. In 1910, Pope Saint Pius X allowed the faithful already enrolled in the scapular to wear a blessed scapular medal in its place, provided it bears the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one side and an image of Our Lady on the other, as this medal does. Worn with faith, the scapular is not a charm but a sacramental, a reminder to live as a child of Mary, close to her Son.

Care Instructions
Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising, since water and sweat wear down gold plating and can stiffen velvet. Keep perfume, lotion, and cleaning products away from the medal. Store the necklace and spare velvet bands flat in the gift box, away from direct sunlight, to protect the velvet colors. Wipe the medal gently with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid polishing cloths, which can alter the matte finish. Avoid overstretching the band.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this scapular medal replace the cloth Brown Scapular?
Yes, under certain conditions. Since 1910, those already enrolled in the Brown Scapular by a priest may wear a blessed scapular medal in its place. The medal must show the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one side and an image of Our Lady on the other, as this one does. The Church still encourages wearing the cloth scapular whenever possible.
Can I wear it as a choker?
Yes. The sliding gold-plated ring adjusts the velvet band so the medal can sit close at the base of the neck as a choker, or lower, up to 20 inches.
Which velvet band colors are included?
The necklace arrives mounted on a black velvet band, with three additional bands in garnet, aqua, and navy blue included in the box.
How do I change the velvet band?
Untie the knot at the end of the band, slide off the ring and medal, then thread the new band through the medal and ring in the same order, and tie the ends again.
Is this necklace solid gold?
No. The medal is made of a metal alloy with a 10-micron 24K gold plating in a matte finish. Ten microns is a thick layer for plated jewelry, which helps the gold 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 gold plating and the velvet.
Is the necklace blessed?
Our pieces are not sold blessed. Any priest or deacon can bless it for you. If you plan to wear it in place of the cloth scapular, ask a priest to bless it after your enrollment.
