Round 750/1000 White Gold Saint Christopher Medal, Diameter 18 mm

Fall in love with this round rhodium-plated 750/1000 (18K) white gold medal from Augis, featuring Saint Christopher carrying the infant Jesus. A hammered finish and hand-applied patina bring the motif to life on this 18 mm diameter medal.
According to popular tradition, Saint Christopher lived in Syria in the 3rd century. A ferryman by trade, he carried a child across a raging river - only to discover the child was Christ himself, after which he was baptized.
He is venerated as the patron saint of travelers. In earlier times, it was believed that anyone who looked upon his statue would be shielded from illness throughout the day.

The medal has an average gold weight of 2.05 grams. An oval bail lets you pair it with any chain you like - we recommend choosing one heavier than the pendant to reduce the risk of breakage. Ocarat also gives you the option to personalize this medal and make it truly one of a kind: engrave a word, a date, or a name of your choice.
