Our Lady of the Forsaken Medal, pearlescent white enamel

Oval-shaped zamak medal with 18K gold plating, handmade in Spain.

The Our Lady of the Forsaken medal with pearlescent white enamel is the most classic of the collection: luminous, discreet, and easy to wear every day. Pearlescent white has a soft shine, similar to that of a pearl, which stands out against the gold.

We love it over a white or embroidered blouse, and it is our favorite for a baptism, a First Communion, or a Valencian bride. Original design by Khartes Madrid, handmade in Spain.

About Our Lady of the Forsaken

Our Lady of the Forsaken is the patron saint of Valencia, where she is affectionately called «la Geperudeta». Her devotion dates back to 1409, when Father Jofré promoted a hospital in Valencia to care for the sick and forsaken, and her great feast is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Discover her history and curiosities. See all our Our Lady of the Forsaken medals.

As a gift

Giving a medal is an act of love: it is worn close to the heart, kept for a lifetime, and often passed down. This piece is ideal for an Amparo, a baptism, a First Communion, or for someone who lives far from Valencia. Are you looking for the medal of her name? Look at it in medals by name.

And if it is for you: we always wear a medal. Protected and beautiful at the same time.

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. Keep it separately, in its little bag 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. Nothing to do with factory-made medals that are bought for a few euros and resold as «original design». We tell you about it in Khartes Medals vs. Cheap Imported Medals.
