JewelryWeb | Sterling Silver Saint Gerard Medal Pendant | 16MM | Saint Gerard of Majella Charm | Religious Medal of Saint Gerard

A Sterling Silver Antiqued Saint Gerard Medal is a type of religious medal that is made from sterling silver. Sterling silver is a high-quality type of silver that contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This combination gives the metal added durability and resistance to tarnishing, compared to pure silver. The medal features an image or depiction of Saint Gerard, who was a Catholic saint and martyr. Saint Gerard is venerated as the patron saint of expectant mothers, and is often invoked for assistance with conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. The medal is described as being "antiqued", which means that it has a deliberately aged or weathered appearance. This can be achieved through various techniques, such as oxidization, which creates a dark, patina-like finish on the metal, or through the application of darkening agents to highlight the details of the design. Sterling Silver Antiqued Saint Gerard Medals are often worn as a symbol of faith, as a reminder of the teachings and example of Saint Gerard, or as a way to seek his intercession and protection. They can be strung on a chain or cord and worn as a necklace, or attached to a keychain or rosary, or placed in a special location as a decorative item.
