St. Benedict Medal with Natural Pearl

The St. Benedict medal with a natural pearl is the most classic of our four pearl medals: only natural pearls and gold plating, with no colored enamel, so it goes with everything.

That is why we recommend it for a baptism or a first communion, and for anyone looking for a medal to keep forever. We photographed it with a white t-shirt and a floral romper. An original design by Khartes Madrid, handmade in Spain.

How do I care for it?
Put it on after perfume, cream, and makeup, and take it off to shower, swim, exercise, or sleep: water, sweat, and chemicals are what wear down the gold plating the most. Store it separately, in its pouch or in a jewelry box, and clean it only with a soft, dry cloth. Here are 6 tips to make the shine last longer.

How does it differ from a cheap imported medal?
It is designed by us, handmade in Spain, and we clearly state what it is made of. It has nothing to do with factory-made medals that are bought for a few euros and resold as “original designs.” We explain it in Khartes Medals vs. Cheap Imported Medals.
