An absolutely stunning antique gold plated, antique replica, Scapular Medallion from France. This is signed by the highly collectible artist Louis Tricard and is a bit larger than many of his medallions. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is on one side and Our Lady of Mount Carmel is on the other side.
Please note that there is less detail on this replica than on the original (such as the artist's name, see photo). The pewter casting process with the gold plating reduces details, but is better for a gold 2-sided medal. The Heart of Jesus is faint in the original design as well.
One side has in Latin "Maria Virgo De Monte Carmeli Ora Pro Nobis (OPN)" meaning "Virgin Mary from Mount Carmel Pray for Us". The other side has in French "Voici Ce Coeur Qui Vous" meaning "Here is this Heart that has your blood (the Sacred Heart of Jesus)".
This replica is solid pewter plated with a gorgeous 12K gold, and then antiqued. This pendant is a non-maintenance very high quality plating, but is best protected from chemicals and water. The pewter is lead and cadmium free. No polishing or maintenance needed! These 12K gold plated pieces are a different casting process than my solid gold bronze pieces which require polishing. This pendant never needs polishing, but is plated. Made in the U.S.A.
This 1 inch diameter medallion dangles from a 4x3.5mm antique gold plated cable chain with a lobster clasp closure.
A Holy Moments Artisan piece.
Thank you for visiting my Holy Moments Etsy Shop! This has been my personal shopping account on Etsy for years. I recently decided to open an Etsy shop and display a selection of products from my established Holy Moments on-line and show company (HolyMoments.com).
The artisan jewelry and rosaries are unique to Holy Moments. Many pieces are only a few of a kind due to limited availability of certain gemstones or hand cast items. New, exciting products are always being added to both the Etsy shop and company website.
A portion of profits are donated to the Cancer Research Institute in New York, a leader in immunotherapy research. Please read my shop story for more.
