A devotional companion for the road, brought home from the very place the Miraculous Medal began. This Miraculous Medal car emblem is made in France and was sourced at the shop of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal on Rue du Bac in Paris. It carries Mary's promise of protection wherever you drive, whether you press it to the dashboard, the back of the car, your phone, or any surface you pass each day.

About the Design

One small round emblem holds both faces of the Miraculous Medal together. On the left, Our Lady of Grace stands with rays of grace falling from her open hands, framed by the French inscription revealed in the apparition, "O Marie conçue sans péché priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous," with the year 1830 at her feet. Beside her rests the reverse of the medal: the letter M crowned by a cross, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary below, encircled by twelve stars. The relief is embossed and raised, so the detail catches the light. The silver-tone finish is a soft matte. The gold bezel finish adds a radiating gold-tone border around the same design for a two-tone look.

About the Devotion

In 1830, in the chapel at 140 Rue du Bac in Paris, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré, a young Daughter of Charity, and asked that a medal be struck after the pattern she revealed. Those who wore it with faith reported so many graces that people began calling it the Miraculous Medal. The image of Our Lady of Grace, hands outstretched and pouring light, has been a sign of her intercession and protection ever since. To carry it in the car is an old and simple act of trust: asking Mary to watch over every journey and everyone inside.

Specifications

Who This Is For

This emblem is for anyone who wants Mary close on the road. It makes a thoughtful, safe-travels gift for a mother or grandmother, a quiet blessing to mark a new car, and a meaningful present for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8 or the Feast of the Miraculous Medal on November 27. It also fits Día de las Madres and Mother's Day for the woman who keeps her faith with her wherever she goes.

Care and Mounting

For a lasting hold, clean and dry the surface first. Peel the backing liner, set the emblem in place, and press firmly for about thirty seconds. Allow twenty-four to forty-eight hours to cure before washing the car or exposing it to rain. Aluminum resists rust, so the emblem is suitable for placement on a smooth, clean surface, indoors or outdoors. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to keep the matte finish even.

The Guadalupe Gifts Promise

This piece belongs to our Rue du Bac Signature Collection. It was acquired at the shop of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal at 140 Rue du Bac in Paris, the chapel where Saint Catherine Labouré received the design in 1830, and it arrived with a Guadalupe Gifts Certificate of Authenticity card in a white Guadalupe Gifts gift box. Guadalupe Gifts is a family business founded by the Valerio family in Weston, Florida, rooted in the Mexican tradition of devotional craftsmanship and the conviction that sacred art should be honest, beautiful, and made to be lived with.

Shipping and Returns

Because this emblem has an adhesive backing, it can be returned only if it is unused and unopened, with the backing liner still in place, within the return window. Once the liner is peeled and the adhesive is activated, the emblem is a final sale, since an applied adhesive cannot be reused. See our Returns and Exchanges policy for full details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it stay on my car?

Yes. The emblem has a strong adhesive foam backing. Clean and dry the surface, press firmly, and allow one to two days to cure for a secure, long-lasting hold.

Can I put it on the outside of the car?

Yes. The emblem is made of aluminum and resists rust, so it works for indoor or outdoor use. For exterior use, choose a smooth, clean surface and let the adhesive cure fully before the first car wash.

Is it really made in France?

Yes. It is French-made and was sourced at the shop of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal on Rue du Bac in Paris.

Is this sterling silver?

No. It is silver-tone aluminum with a matte finish, chosen to stay lightweight and resist corrosion outdoors.

Can I use it somewhere other than a car?

Yes. The adhesive backing works on a phone, a laptop, a locker, or any smooth surface where you would like the medal close at hand.

Can I return it?

Yes, if it is unused and still sealed with the backing liner in place, within the return window. Once you peel the liner and activate the adhesive, the emblem becomes a final sale, because an applied adhesive cannot be reused.
