FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING IN THE USA!

This is a large, solid 18k medal of the Blessed Virgin Mary made in Europe circa 1950 - mid 1960’s in the Mid Century style. It weighs an impressive 11.38 grams.

The Virgin Mary is portrayed in quarter profile with her hands clasped in prayer. Around her head is a halo. Engraved along side the Virgin are 7 asymmetrical stars.

It’s important to point out the extraordinary workmanship…for example, there are beautiful star like engraved details surrounding the two gold rivets.

The style is a very typical French/Belgium depiction of the Virgin. There are 2 hallmarks on the lower bail. The third hallmark is 18k.

Vintage yet new authentic mid century creation. “New Old Stock.” My uncle had a jewelry store down on W. 47th St. in Manhattan, New York City’s, famed diamond District. It was his dad’s shop before him. He closed up shop about 25 years ago. Many new, yet vintage items were stored away in a vault. The safe was like a time capsule with new pieces from the 1930’s - 1990’s.
