    Gift wrapping by TreeOfHeaven

    Jewelry wrapped in a box. Prints are already stiff and wrapped.

I painted the original with acrylics and colored pencils. The medal is a detail of that painting, which portrays Saint Perpetua, who died in the Colosseum with her disciple Saint Felicity in the 3rd Century AD. They both had to give away their babies before being fed to the wild animals in their total surrender to Christ. The palm branch in the background symbolizes martyrdom.

It is said that when the crowd observed the two young mothers clinging to each other in the Colosseum as the wild beasts approached, many were moved to tears of sorrow.

The writings of St Perpetua have been preserved over the centuries, and there is a new movie out about her life.

This intriguing, devotional medal is made with two tiny prints of the same image, back to back. The glass is hand cut and soldered with lead-free solder. Part of the charm of handmade items is the slight variation from piece to piece. These are not made in a factory!

Enjoy this medal on a chain, ribbon, or bracelet. If you would like it on a handsome silver snake chain, please select that option.

The same image is on both sides. The medal shown is size medium, but they also come in small, large and extra large sizes. The sizes are approximate, and may vary slightly with the image chosen. The medal in the video is size small. It is much more clear in person!

Choose with or without a silver-plated snake chain. The chains come in 18", 22", and 26".

All my soldered medals are made with lead free solder and glass. The same picture is on both sides!

If you put the charm/medal on a key chain, it may get broken if not treated kindly. It is glass. If you want one for a key chain, I can custom make your medium charm/medal with a thicker glass for $3. Small charm/medals don't need thicker glass, but either way, they need to be on a chain before you add them to your key ring.
