Choosing a medal is easier than it seems. These four questions will help you get it right, whether it's a gift for someone else or a treat for yourself.

1. Which Virgin or saint?

Start with the person: their name, their hometown, or their devotion. A Pilar, the Pilar; a Carmen or someone from the coast, the Carmen; an Inma, the Immaculate. If they are looking for protection, Saint Benedict; if they are looking for a partner (or something lost), Saint Anthony. And if you don't know, the Milagrosa is the medal for everyone.

2. With pearls or in color?

Gold-tone medals with natural pearls are the most classic and go with everything. The enameled ones (blue, pearl white, lilac, green...) are for those who want a touch of color and are usually available in limited quantities.

3. With which chain?

Our chains are 40 cm long with a 5 cm extender, so you can wear the medal higher or lower. If you want to make it stand out more, check out our necklace packs.

4. Who is it for?

You'll find ideas for each person in our meaningful Christmas gift guide and for every occasion in our gift collections.
