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.

The face of the medal is finished in deep navy blue enamel, framed in luminous gold. This is the traditional shade of the Miraculous Medal, as it has been worn for generations, the rich midnight blue associated with Our Lady's mantle in classical Marian iconography. The depth of the color makes the figure's gilded detail stand out with particular force. At the center 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 of the medal: "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.

It is a medal made to be worn close to the heart, 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 an elegant gift box with a certificate of authenticity confirming its origin from the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Paris.
