This beautiful necklace is a perfect Christian Catholic necklace for everyday wear or a religious gift for a loved one. It includes a hypoallergenic ball chain with unique clasp attachment measuring approximately 24", an Italian made 1.5" silver oxidized finish St Benedict crucifix, and an Italian made 1" silver oxidized finish Miraculous Medal. Mary created the design for the Miraculous Medal and promised special graces to those who wear it - especially around one's neck. The St. Benedict crucifix is commonly used as protection from evil. This necklace is meant to be used as an outward symbol of Catholic Christian faith - it also makes a beautiful silver tone layered necklace.
