Saint Benedict Medal with Lapis Lazuli and Navy Blue Enamel

The Saint Benedict medal with lapis lazuli and navy blue enamel is blue on blue: lapis lazuli and navy enamel together on gold, for those who have blue as their signature color.

It is understated and easy to wear with shirts; we like it with a printed one, as in the photos. A different idea to give a Benito for his saint's day. Original design by Khartes Madrid, handmade in Spain.

About Saint Benedict

Saint Benedict of Nursia (6th century) is the father of Western monasticism, author of the "ora et labora" Rule and patron saint of Europe. His medal, with the cross and the initials of an ancient prayer of protection, is one of the most traditional to ask for protection in everyday life. His feast day is July 11. Discover his history and curiosities. See all our Saint Benedict medals.

For gifting

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 confirmation, a birth, a new beginning, or a gift for him: it is the medal that tradition carries as a sign of protection. Looking for the medal of his name? Look at medals by name.

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

How long does shipping take and how much does it cost?

Under €65: €3.95 in Madrid, €4.95 in the rest of the Mainland, and €5.95 in the Balearic Islands.

Can I exchange it if I am not convinced?
Yes, you have 14 days from delivery and the first exchange is free. See policy.

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 tell you clearly 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.
