Product Details

The Vintage Bronze Dilecto Carmeli Pendant frames an oval relief of the veiled Virgin with the Christ Child on her arm inside a deeply scrolled openwork border, pierced through in a dozen places. A star is worked on her mantle, rays spread behind the Child's head, and the faces are modelled with unusual delicacy.

A Latin legend runs around the oval, DILECTO down one side and CARMELI, of Carmel, up the other, placing the pendant in the Carmelite devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The star on her mantle is her own emblem, and Carmel is the mountain where Elijah watched a small cloud rise out of the sea and bring rain to a burnt country, the image the order has always read as Mary. The exuberant scrollwork belongs to the baroque, and at this scale the pendant has the presence of a small altar piece.

The pendant 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.
  • Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
  • Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
  • Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
