This pairing of a Lourdes medal with a miraculous medal is very classic and easy — the vintage medals are both in great shape and retain their original bails.
The gold tone Lourdes medal is about the size of a nickel. It’s balanced out by the octagonal blue enamel miraculous Mary medal, and the combination is stunning either on its own or layered with our other chains or beaded pieces.
