Ex-Voto Medal
The Ex Voto medal depicts the Sacred Heart, a radiant flaming heart, emblem of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in 18-karat 750/1000 yellow gold.
The radiant Sacred Heart
A heart topped by a flame occupies the centre of the medal, surrounded by engraved rays reaching to the edge. It is the classic image of the Sacred Heart, symbol of Christ's love for humanity, popularised as an ex-voto since the apparitions to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in the seventeenth century. A sober, direct medal, worn as a token of faith or an offering.
A medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold
Like all our gold medals, the Ex Voto is made by stamping: the 750/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, which gives the rays their crispness, then given a satin finish. Made in France, in our Paris workshop.
Engraving and variations
The smooth reverse takes an engraving, first name and date, carried out in the workshop with the engraving package. The Ex Voto medal is also available in gold and mother-of-pearl, in solid silver, in silver and mother-of-pearl and in gold plate, to be worn on an 18-karat yellow gold trace chain.
