Our Virgin of Carmen Medals
What to look for before buying
- Who designs it and where it is made. Many stores sell imported medals as “designer” pieces that cost a couple of euros. Always ask. We will show you how to tell them apart in original vs. imitation Virgin of Carmen medal.
- The materials. Natural pearls and stones or plastic, handmade enamel or paint. You can tell by touch and over time.
- If it includes the chain. It seems obvious, but it does not always come with one.
- How it arrives. If it is a gift, make sure it comes ready to give.
- Returns and real reviews from other customers.

Medal or scapular?
