Vintage Bronze Que Ella Te Guíe Heart Medal
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Que Ella Te Guie Heart Medal carries a sentence rather than a saint's name. A six-pointed star stands out in relief at the upper left, throwing long rays across the field, and at the upper right a small crowned figure in the wide bell-shaped mantle of a vested Virgin stands within her own aureole of rays.
Across the lower half, cast in flowing cursive, run the words Que Ella te guie, May She guide you. It is a blessing spoken to someone setting out: a traveler, a soldier, a son or daughter leaving home, anyone who needs to be commended to the Virgin's care. Medals like this were given at partings in Spanish-speaking households, and the star beside her makes the sense of it plain, since she is the one who goes ahead with the light.
The 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.
- 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
