The Saint Benedict Medal is a Christian sacramental medal containing symbols and text related to the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, used by Roman Catholics, as well as Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and the Western Orthodox, in the Benedictine Christian tradition, especially votarists and oblates.

The medal is one of the oldest and most honored medals used by Christians and due to the belief in its power against evil is also known as the "devil-chasing medal".As early as the 11th century, it may have initially had the form of Saint Benedict's cross, and was used by Pope Leo IX.

In widespread use after its formal approval by Pope Benedict XIV in the 18th century, the medal is used by Roman Catholics to ward off spiritual and physical dangers, especially those related to evil, poison, and temptation.

It is carefully shipped in a beautiful organza pouch, bubble wrapped and well protected.


****************************************************************************
A lot of my jewelry is made with silver plated and gold plated solid brass or any other metal. It will tarnish or darken over time because the silver reacts with oxygen in the air. This is perfectly normal but you can remove any marks by gently polishing the metal with a soft dry cloth. 


Please store necklaces by suspending them to avoid kinks or bends in the wire.


Store your earrings, bracelets, and rings into the organza pouch.
Many of my items are made with glass beads, so they can break or chip if dropped onto a hard surface.
Follow the suggested guidelines below to get the most enjoyment out of all your trendy beaded accessories! 



Steps to Care for your Beautiful Beads and jewelry:
Step 1. Keep your accessory away from the following as much as possible:

a. Water, lotion, perfume, or other harsh chemicals

b. NEVER wear your accessories in the pool or ocean

c. When NOT wearing, keep in a jewelry box or pouch. 

Step 2. Do not use soap/water or jewelry cleaner to clean your beads. I recommend that you wipe softly with a dry cloth.
