Antique Gold St Gertrude the Great Medal Pendant Charm Necklace, Signed by French artists Karo & AP Penin, Patron Saint of Cats Felines
$29.00
This is an antique gold, antique replica, of a gorgeous and unusual St. Gertrude the Great medal from France. It is signed by artists Karo and AP (Adolph Penin). I am blessed to have this original in my collection and be able to share with you at a reasonable price.
St Gertrude the Great was a great mystic. She is the patron saint of souls in purgatory and the patron saint of cats. "Priez Pour Nous" is french for "Pray for Us".
The medal measures a bit under 3/4 inch diameter and is available by itself (on a jump ring) or on a chain. For the chain option, this medal dangles on a 2x3mm cable chain with a lobster clasp closure.
This fine replica piece is cast in solid gold bronze using the lost wax method and produced in the U.S.A. The oxidation finishing process prevents tarnishing from contact with air. Excessive skin oils may darken the backside of the medal. It is also best to not wear gold bronze in water. A polishing cloth is included so the medal can be polished to the original appearance. You would not damage the medal by contact with water since it is solid gold bronze (not a plating), but it may darken and need additional polishing.
The antiquing finishing process makes this replica much prettier than the original!
A Holy Moments® Original.
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.
