[sterling silver & vintage Mary and Lourdes medals from France]

I should mention the realest reason I love to set these vintage Catholic medals in sterling silver — I think they’re full of truly beautiful energy.  Imagine how many finger tips and lips have brushed against these medals in times of devoted prayerfulness, fatigue, stress, fear and sadness — seeking comfort and answers or simply filled with easy joy.  They’re little metal objects, but I think they’ve been injected with hopes of all sorts and so changed into tiny, holy things, that testify to the ability of the human spirit to be buoyed up.  To rise and rise again.

There’s something so beautiful, ancient and peaceful about them.

They’ll be available in the shop tomorrow morning.

Thank you to the wonderful women who claimed these rings.  xx
