About our Jewelry
Gold: Because of the softness of pure (24 karat) gold, most jewelry is made from 14 karat gold, and sometimes 18 karat gold. If a piece of jewelry on our website is listed as 14K Gold or similar, than you will know it is solid 14K gold, not gold-plated or gold-filled.
Sterling Silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5 by weight of silver and 7.5 by weight of other metals, usually copper. Fine silver, for example 99.9% pure silver, is generally too soft for producing functional objects; therefore, our silver jewelry is made of Sterling Silver.
Gold-Filled is an actual layer of gold that is pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as gold-filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating. Gold-filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colors.
Rhodium is a rare, silvery-white, hard member of the platinum group. Naturally occurring rhodium is one of the rarest and most valuable precious metals. Rhodium is a noble metal, resistant to corrosion, found in platinum or nickel ores together with the other members of the platinum group metals.
Pewter is a malleable metal alloy, traditionally 85–99% tin, with the remainder consisting of copper, antimony, bismuth and sometimes, less commonly today, lead. Silver is also sometimes used.

I read Mirjana Soldo's book, My Heart Will Triumph. I can hardly put it down. Mirjana's real life experiences and visions of Our Blessed Mother come alive! I feel closer to our Heavenly Mother through this book.

I cannot say enough about the professional courtesy and A+ effort I received from the folks at CatholicShop.com. I called on a Saturday almost midday to inquire about some crucifixes I direly needed for a Tuesday evening liturgy. Frankly, I...

MY HEART WILL TRIUMPH is the best book that I have read since 1987 about Medjugorje. Every adult should try to read it to see the hope that Our Blessed Mother gives everyone who prays. Mirjana used prayer to escape from so many life-threatening...
