{"product_id":"vierge-etoilee-mm-v12","title":"Starry Virgin and Child","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis christening medal in 18-karat yellow gold shows the Virgin and Child beneath a star: Mary holds Jesus before her, in her arms, and the Child reaches out to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Virgin and Child beneath the star\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMary, in profile, a veil resting on her hair and falling down her back, lifts the Child to the level of her gaze; he sits in her arms, turned towards her, and reaches out to her. Each wears a halo traced in a fine line, and above them shines a four-pointed star, the star of Bethlehem that guided the Magi to the Child. The composition is that of a presentation: the mother gazing at her child as one gazes at a gift. This is what makes this medal so fitting for a christening, where the child is in turn presented, and where the star says without words what we wish for him: to be guided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA christening medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all our gold medals, the Starry Virgin and Child is made by stamping: the 750\/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, for a crisp, lasting relief, then satin-finished. The gold weight is 2.30 g in 16 mm and 2.90 g in 18 mm.
