Saint Benedict Medal with Amethyst

The Saint Benedict medal with amethyst is surrounded by a halo of round natural amethyst beads, in a purple that brings light to the face and brightens the gold.

We really like it as a confirmation gift: it has color, but it is still a classic medal to wear every day, with a gray sweater or a white shirt. 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.

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 confirmation, a birth, or a new beginning: it is the medal that tradition carries as a sign of protection. Are you looking for the medal with their 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.

Complete it with a bracelet

It is the detail that completes the gift: the medal around the neck and faith also on the wrist. We recommend the Enameled Saint Benedict Bracelet (from €25), in the color of your choice. Or look at our gift packs, with a special price.

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 separate, 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.
