Our Lady of Perpetual Help Rolo Necklace | Front Toggle | Etched Links | Matte Gold | Mary and Jesus | Crown of Grace Designs | Byzantine

This stunning Byzantine-inspired necklace features a detailed replica of the revered icon Our Lady of Perpetual Help, depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, flanked by Archangels Michael and Gabriel. Symbolic and elegant, this piece is a standout in my Crown of Grace collection and a customer favorite for its meaningful design and versatile style.

Crafted with a richly etched rolo chain in a soft brushed matte gold finish, this necklace is finished with a front toggle clasp for a bold yet refined look. It’s large enough to make a statement, yet designed for comfortable, everyday wear.

📏 Sizing: Please refer to the listing photo showing the pendant beside a quarter (1" diameter) for scale.

About the Medal:
Each antique-style medal is hand-reproduced from rare, often century-old originals. Using a meticulous process, I create a mold from the original piece, press bronze clay into it, dry it, and then fire it in a kiln at 1420°F in a double carbon firing. The result is a beautifully detailed pendant, hand-brushed to achieve a matte gold finish and lightly polished on raised areas for a soft Baroque glow.

Chain Details:
The chain is hand-selected to complement the pendant’s character, featuring:

*Double-layer, non-tarnish matte gold coating
*Nickel, cadmium, and lead-free materials
*Durable, tarnish-resistant design

Historical & Spiritual Significance:
Also known as Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, this icon dates back to the 13th century and is celebrated by the universal Church on June 27. Traditionally painted on wood with a golden background, the image carries deep symbolism: Mary cradles Jesus while the Archangels present the instruments of His Passion. Greek inscriptions identify the holy figures, enhancing its sacred meaning.
