9/16 x 5/16 inch oval satin finish sterling silver miraculous medal on a 16 inch stainless steel rhodium plated chain. The pendant features a plain border and a figure of Mary in the center, surrounded by the words, "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." The figure of Mary also has light diamond drag engraved accents. On the back of the medal in a brushed finish is the letter M, representing Mary, surmounted by a cross representing the sacrifice of Jesus, and surrounded by twelve stars that represent the twelve apostles. Includes an elegant deluxe velour jewelry box.
The origin of the miraculous medal comes from the visions Saint Catherine Laboure experienced in the year 1830 of Mary Immaculate.
