About the Virgin of El Pilar

According to tradition, the Virgin appeared to the apostle James in Zaragoza, by the Ebro, on a stone column: the Pillar. She is Spain's first Marian devotion, patroness of Hispanidad, and her feast day is celebrated on October 12 with the traditional Offering of Flowers. Discover her history and curiosities.

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 a Pilar or a Pili on October 12, a baptism, a First Communion, or for anyone who carries Aragon in their heart. Looking for a medal with her name? See it in medals by name.

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

How do I take care of 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.
