The Immaculate Conception celebrates that Mary was conceived without original sin, a dogma proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in 1854 and defended in Spain for centuries. She is the patron saint of Spain, and her feast day, December 8, is one of the most beloved on the calendar. Discover its history and curiosities. View all our Immaculate Virgin medals.

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. Store 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.
