This Miraculous Medal arrives from the place where the devotion began. In 1830, in the chapel of Rue du Bac in Paris, the Blessed Virgin appeared to a young novice named Saint Catherine Labouré and entrusted to her the design of the medal now known throughout the world. Every Miraculous Medal in this collection is sourced directly from that same chapel, the sanctuary that has guarded the original devotion for nearly two centuries.

This medal takes the shape of a heart, a gentle departure from the classic oval, finished front and back in luminous aqua-blue enamel, framed in gold. Where the traditional medal wears the deep midnight blue of Our Lady's mantle, this one carries a brighter, water-clear blue that catches the light from every angle and feels alive against the skin. At the center of the face stands Mary, her hands open and rays of grace falling from her fingertips, surrounded by the prayer she gave to Saint Catherine, inscribed in French along the edge: “Ô Marie conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous”, meaning O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. The reverse carries the symbols she revealed in the same vision: the cross and the letter M intertwined, the two Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and the twelve stars of Revelation, all glowing against the same aqua enamel.

Shaped as a heart and made to be worn close to one, it is a quiet companion through the ordinary hours and the difficult ones. For your own devotion, or as a gift that carries weight, this piece speaks of a grace older than memory and still freshly given.

Each necklace ships in a white jewelry gift box with a certificate of authenticity confirming its origin from the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Paris.
