Rosa Mystica
Rosa Mystica is a gold-plated christening medal depicting the Virgin Mary in profile, surrounded by a crown of foliage and her engraved Latin title: Mystic Rose.
A Virgin Mary crowned with foliage
Mary is seen in profile, turned to the right, a veil over her hair falling to her shoulder; a halo of a fine line rings her head. Around the portrait, our sculptor engraved a crown of leaves running along the whole edge of the medal, and the inscription ROSA MYSTICA on either side of her face. Mystic Rose is one of the titles the Litany of Loreto gives to Mary: the rose without thorns, image of her purity. The leafy crown gives the medal the bearing of an old medallion.
Mayaud gold plate
This medal is made in Mayaud gold plate: a French-made solid gilded brass base, struck under the same engraved die as the gold version, covered with a 3-micron layer of 18-karat (750/1000) gold. Made in our Paris workshop.
Diameter, engraving and variations
Offered in 18 mm, the classic size. The smooth reverse takes an engraving, first name and date, carried out in the workshop with the engraving package. Rosa Mystica is also available in solid yellow gold, in gold and mother-of-pearl, in solid silver and in silver and mother-of-pearl; see also our second Rosa Mystica, among the roses.
