Made in France with a refined two-tone finish, it pairs quiet elegance with a prayer that has accompanied the faithful for generations. It arrives on an 18-inch chain, ready to be worn close as a daily reminder of Our Lady's intercession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the oval medal shows the Blessed Virgin Mary standing with rays of grace flowing from her open hands, encircled by the French inscription \"O Marie, concue sans peche, priez pour nous qui avons recours a vous\" (O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee). A polished gold bezel frames the design, while the raised center sits in a soft matte finish, giving the image gentle contrast and depth. The reverse carries the letter M surmounted by a cross, ringed by twelve stars, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary below, finished in soft matte gold. The medal is embossed \"Made in France.\" Its compact oval profile sits comfortably on the chest and layers easily with other devotional pieces for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Miraculous Medal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Miraculous Medal traces back to 1830, when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Catherine Laboure, a young Daughter of Charity, in the convent chapel at 140 Rue du Bac in Paris. Our Lady asked that a medal be struck after the image she revealed, promising graces to those who wear it with confidence. First known as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, it soon came to be called the Miraculous Medal because of the many graces reported by those devoted to it. The chapel remains a place of pilgrimage to this day, cared for by the Daughters of Charity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedal material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-plated (French plaque or)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished gold bezel with matte center on the front, matte gold reverse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChain material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-plated box chain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChain length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedal size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 mm x 19.8 mm (without bail)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFront\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlessed Virgin Mary with French inscription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReverse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLetter M with cross, twelve stars, Sacred and Immaculate Hearts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in France (embossed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSourcing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShop of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, 140 Rue du Bac, Paris\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncludes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuadalupe Gifts® Certificate of Authenticity card\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\u003cp\u003eThis necklace suits anyone drawn to Marian devotion and the spirituality of the Immaculate Conception.
