Product Details
The Vintage Sterling Silver Our Lady of Sorrows Medal shows the Mater Dolorosa veiled and looking upward, her hands clasped at her breast, with a fan of sword blades converging on her heart. The reverse holds the Crucifixion: a haloed woman standing at the left of the cross, a haloed disciple at the right, and a figure kneeling at its foot. The modelling is close and tender for a piece barely more than half an inch across.
The swords come from Simeon, who told Mary in the temple that a sword would pierce her own soul, and devotion has counted seven such sorrows across her life. She is honoured under this title by anyone carrying a grief of their own, because the Mother of Sorrows is understood to have gone the whole way through it first. In sterling the fine relief of the face reads especially clearly.
The medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Arrives in a CatholicShop gift box
The bracelet is a handmade rolo chain in sterling-toned steel with a lobster clasp, 8 inches long, with 6 mm oval links. Fasten the clasp to any link along the chain to shorten it, so one size genuinely fits. The charm hangs from a split ring.
Charm size: 5/8 inches tall
The charm on its own
