Christ Medal Jesus is my Shepherd

Jesus is my Shepherd is an 18-karat yellow gold christening medal depicting Christ the Good Shepherd, a lamb in his arms and the crook at his shoulder.

A Christ as shepherd, the lamb against him

Jesus is seen face on, his head slightly inclined, long hair, a short beard, beneath a radiant halo. He holds against him, in both arms, a lamb whose head rests on his forearm, and his shepherd's crook, with its curved handle, passes behind his shoulder. The drapery of the tunic and the outer tunic wraps the lamb. It is the Good Shepherd of the Gospel, who knows his sheep and goes to seek the one that is lost, one of the oldest images of Christ, already painted in the catacombs. For a christening, it says simply that the child is this lamb, carried. Our sculptor took care over the fleece, the face and the hands, in a deep relief.

A christening medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold

Like all our gold medals, Jesus is my Shepherd is made by stamping: the 750/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, for a crisp and lasting relief, then given a satin finish. The gold weight is 2.90 g in 18 mm. Made in France, in our workshop.

Engraving and variations

Offered in 18 mm, the classic size for a christening medal, the one worn for a lifetime. The smooth reverse takes an engraving, first name and date, carried out in the workshop with the engraving package. Jesus is my Shepherd is 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.
