Some medals you wear. This one you reach for. The Miraculous Medal traces back to 1830, when Our Lady of Grace appeared to St. Catherine Labouré in Paris and asked that it be struck, promising great graces to everyone who would wear it with faith. This piece sets that sacred image inside a Victorian "cameo" frame, pairing a devotion nearly 200 years old with the quiet elegance of a family heirloom.
The oval, double-sided medal is die struck in solid .925 sterling silver and hand polished to a brilliant finish by New England Silversmiths. The front shows Our Lady with rays streaming from her extended hands, the serpent crushed beneath her feet. The reverse carries the traditional Miraculous Medal design. It arrives in a deluxe velvet gift box with your choice of an 18" or 20" surgical stainless steel chain or upgrade to a luxurious sterling silver chain, ready to give for a Confirmation, a First Communion, a Baptism, or Mother's Day.

What the Miraculous Medal Means
Every detail on this medal carries meaning, and it all comes from what St. Catherine Labouré saw in the chapel on the Rue du Bac in 1830.
The front. Our Lady of Grace stands with her hands open and lowered, rays of light streaming from her fingers. Those rays are the graces she obtains for anyone who asks. Her foot rests on the head of a serpent, the image from Genesis of her role in crushing sin and evil. Around the edge runs the prayer she gave us: "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."
The back. A large letter M is joined to a cross, a picture of Mary standing beside her Son at Calvary. Below it sit two hearts: the Sacred Heart of Jesus, crowned with thorns, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, pierced by a sword. Twelve stars circle the whole design, recalling the woman "crowned with twelve stars" in the Book of Revelation.
Why Is It Called "Miraculous"?
Mary asked only that the medal be made and worn. She never named it. The title came from the people. So many conversions, healings, and answered prayers followed those who wore it that the faithful simply began calling it the Miraculous Medal, and the name stuck. Its original title is the Medal of the Immaculate Conception.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Miraculous Medal and what does it represent?
The Miraculous Medal depicts Our Lady of Grace as she appeared to St. Catherine Labouré in 1830, with rays of light streaming from her hands to symbolize the graces granted to those who ask. The reverse bears a cross joined to the letter M, the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, and twelve stars. It is one of the most beloved Marian devotional medals in the Catholic tradition.
What makes this medal different from a standard Miraculous Medal?
It features a Victorian "cameo" setting, a four-pronged oval border that gives it a vintage, heirloom look. It is also die struck and hand polished by New England Silversmiths in the USA, which sets it apart from mass-produced imported medals.
Why is Mary standing on a serpent?
The serpent represents sin and Satan. The image comes from Genesis 3:15, where God promises that the woman and her offspring will crush the serpent's head. It points to Mary's part in Christ's victory over evil.
What do the rays from her hands mean?
They represent the graces Mary obtains from God for those who ask her. In the original vision, some gems gave off no light, standing for the graces people forget to request.
Which chain length should I choose, 18" or 20"?
An 18" chain typically falls at the collarbone, while a 20" chain rests just below it. For a classic pendant look, 18" is the most popular choice. For a slightly longer, more relaxed drape, choose 20". See our necklace length guide for more help.
