The Virgin stands on the globe with her hands lowered and open, rays falling from them across the scalloped field; the reverse carries the letter M surmounted by a cross, with two small hearts beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary showed this design to St. Catherine Laboure in the Rue du Bac chapel in Paris in 1830 and asked that a medal be made from it, promising graces to all who wore it. So many followed that within a few years everyone was calling it the miraculous one, and the name stayed. The rays streaming from her hands are those graces; the hearts on the reverse are the Sacred Heart crowned with thorns and the Immaculate Heart pierced by a sword. Sterling suits the star, since silver was the metal of the first of these medals and takes a soft antique tone down in the recesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sterling silver star medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a CatholicShop gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bangle is stainless steel, 65 mm across, and expandable — slide it wider or narrower so it sits where you like on the wrist.
