I had been searching forever for a vintage Miraculous Medal so when I found this one at
Gilding The Lily, I was beside myself with joy. I showed it to
Kristen and told her how important it was to me. I told her how I needed find someone to make it into a necklace for me to wear everyday.
Do you know the story of The Miraculous Medal? Mary appeared in a vision to a young nun in Paris in the early 19th century and described the image on the medal. She then told the young nun "Have a medal struck upon this model. Those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck.” Great miracles started happening all over France for people who wore the medal.
See here for more information."There is no superstition, nothing of magic, connected with the Miraculous Medal. The Miraculous Medal is not a “good-luck charm”. Rather, it is a great testimony to faith and the power of trusting prayer. Its greatest miracles are those of patience, forgiveness, repentance, and faith. God uses a Medal, not as a sacrament, but as an agent, an instrument, in bringing to pass certain marvelous results."
Kristen graciously and generously offered to make the necklace for me...she even bought the vintage medal.
Last week it arrived and it is just so beautiful.


Thank you so much, Kristen, for making such a personal, beautiful piece for me. I wear it as a constant whispering prayer.
