This gold-plated Sacred Heart bracelet, known in Spain as a detente, arrives on a black elastic velvet cord with three more cords in navy blue, garnet, and aqua, so you can keep the Heart of Jesus close while matching whatever you wear. Made in Spain in the tradition of Spanish devotional jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece is a sculpted Sacred Heart finished in 24K gold plating with a warm matte texture. A crown of thorns wraps the heart, the wound of the lance marks its side, and the flame of divine love rises to a small Latin cross. The heart rides on a soft, flat elastic velvet cord, 0.4 inches wide, that stretches to slip on and adjusts with a sliding gold-plated ring. Four interchangeable elastic velvet cords are included, so one heart becomes four different looks. Changing colors is simple: untie the knot, move the heart and ring to a new cord, and tie it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Devotion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDevotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus grew through the revelations to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 17th century, who encouraged the faithful to keep an image of the Heart of Jesus close. The small badge known as the detente spread from that devotion, traditionally inscribed \"Detente, el Corazón de Jesús está conmigo\" (\"Stop, the Heart of Jesus is with me\"). In Spain and across Latin America, Sacred Heart pieces in this style are still lovingly called detentes. Worn with faith, it is not a charm against harm but a reminder to place each day in the hands of Christ.

Keep perfume, lotion, and cleaning products away from the heart. Store the bracelet and spare elastic velvet cords flat in the gift box, away from direct sunlight, to protect the velvet colors. Wipe the centerpiece gently with a soft,t dry cloth. Avoid overstretching the elastic cords when putting them on or taking them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Sacred Heart detente?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA detente is a small image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus worn or carried as a sign of trust in His love.
