About the medals

Our sterling silver St. Christophers come in a wide selection of hand enameled colors. The enamel is created from colored glass. In essence, the image is viewed through a kind of stained glass window. Due to this hand made nature, colors  vary and may appear different depending on the size of the disk. Our medals are also made in 14kt gold, but are not emameled. Though quite durable, chipping of the glass enamel is not an impossibility. Colors: Light green, jade, aqua, dark green/grey, light blue, French blue, royal blue/ tangerine, pink, lavender, purple/ white, yellow, brown, and red.

Medium St.Christopher in French blue
Our St. Christpher medal is made for us by the same New England firm for over 75 years and is identical to the ones our grandfather sold when he opened his shop in 1941.  The image was created by the company's founder in the 1930's and has remained unaltered ever since. The motto reads "St. Christopher protect us" with the image of  Christopher ferrying the Christ child on his shoulders as his crosses an otherwise unfordable river.
