Each tinted stone has its own shade, so your medal will be unique. It looks especially beautiful in summer with white or beige linen, and in winter over a gray or camel sweater. If you like wearing several medals together, pair it with a white enamel one or a small gold cross. It's a thoughtful gift for a friend who needs to feel supported during a new chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who already have their usual gold medal and want a second one with a touch of color.
