About the Virgin of Pilar

According to tradition, the Virgin appeared to the apostle James in Zaragoza, by the Ebro, on a stone column: the Pilar. She is Spain's first Marian devotion, patroness of Hispanicity, and her feast is celebrated on October 12 with the traditional Flower Offering. 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 the medal of her name? See it in medals by name.

And if it is for you: we always wear a medal. Protected and showcased 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 separate, 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 is it different 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.
