Virgo Luminosa

Virgo Luminosa is a gold-plated christening medal depicting the Virgin Mary alone, eyes lowered, beneath a great radiant halo that gives her her name: the luminous Virgin.

A Virgin Mary all in light

Mary is seen in three-quarter view, an airy veil over her hair, a wavy lock visible on her brow, falling in broad folds over her shoulders. Her eyelids are lowered, her face calm, almost smiling; her dress is closed by a beaded collar. Behind her, a halo engraved in close rays fills almost the whole upper part of the medal and gives the portrait a light that seems to come from itself. A Virgin without attribute or inscription: only a recollected face and this brightness. A medal suited to every age, and one that is kept.

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. Virgo Luminosa is also available in solid yellow gold, in gold and mother-of-pearl and in solid silver.
