Gold-Filled French Scapular Medal Necklace, 16mm — 18" Box Chain
A scapular medal struck in France, in the tradition of the Catholic devotional houses that have shaped Marian jewelry for generations. One side bears the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The reverse carries Our Lady of Mount Carmel holding the Christ Child, with "FRANCE" pressed into the metal above her crowned figure, a small mark that tells you exactly where this piece was made and by whose hands.
The scapular medal is a sacramental with a precise purpose. It carries the same indulgences and spiritual graces as the Brown Scapular cloth, blessed by the Church for those enrolled in the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. For the faithful who want to wear the scapular every day, through work, exercise, sleep, and the small details of ordinary life, the medal offers a durable, beautiful alternative to wool that never compromises the devotion itself.
This piece is gold-filled, which means a thick layer of solid gold is permanently bonded to a base metal core. It wears like solid gold for years of daily use, holds its color, and resists tarnish in ways that plated jewelry cannot. The 16mm diameter sits comfortably at the collarbone, substantial enough to carry the detail of both images clearly, modest enough to wear under a blouse or shirt without notice.
The 18-inch box chain is included, finished to match the medal. Box chain is the traditional choice for devotional pieces because of its strength and its ability to lie flat against the skin without twisting.
For those new to the scapular devotion, the Brown Scapular was given to Saint Simon Stock in 1251, with Our Lady's promise that those who die wearing it in a state of grace would be preserved from the eternal fires. The Sacred Heart on the reverse extends the devotion, joining Carmel's Marian intercession with the love of Christ's Heart for souls.
