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 medal is crafted in sterling silver and filled with luminous blue enamel, a brighter blue across the face and a deeper blue on the reverse, the color glowing against the bright silver frame. Sterling silver gives the medal a real weight and a lasting quality, an heirloom made to be kept and passed on. 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.

Made to be worn daily and to last, 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. It is offered in two sizes so you can choose the scale that suits you, a smaller medal for everyday subtlety or a larger one for a fuller presence.

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.
