Gold Scapular Necklace & Small Gold Crucifix Layered Set – Mother of Pearl, Gold-Filled

The Cross of the Son, the Mantle of the Mother A small gold crucifix, handcrafted in Guadalajara, layered with the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in genuine mother-of-pearl. The Cross of her Son and the mantle of the Mother, worn together at the collarbone. Catholics have carried both for centuries, usually separately. Worn together, they say something the pieces do not say alone. You Decide How It Sits The crucifix chain adjusts to 14", 16", and 18". The scapular chain is 16" with a 2" extender. So you choose which piece rides above and how far apart they sit, or wear either chain on its own. Why You'll Love This Gold Scapular Necklace Set Two sacramentals in one set, the Brown Scapular and the crucifix Adjustable at three lengths, so you decide the layering Small gold crucifix handcrafted in Guadalajara, Jalisco, where Mexico makes its gold Gold-filled crucifix, not plated. A thick layer of gold bonded under heat and pressure, at least 5% of the total weight in real gold. It holds its look for decades. Genuine mother-of-pearl medals, each one naturally unique REACH-certified safe, independently tested for lead, cadmium, and nickel A meaningful gift for Confirmation, First Communion, Quinceañera, or Mother's Day The Small Gold Crucifix from Guadalajara It measures a little over half an inch, with Christ worked in raised relief on a face of fine matte stipple. At that size, most makers give up on the figure and stamp a plain cross. This one has the figure. It comes from Guadalajara, which is not incidental. Guadalajara is where Mexico makes its gold, a trade that began in a neighborhood named for the first Mexican saint and has passed down through those benches ever since. The Mother of Pearl Scapular The two pendants reflect the panels of the traditional Brown Scapular cloth: Our Lady of Mount Carmel on one, the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the other. Cut from genuine mother of pearl, so no two are exactly alike.

Yes. Any priest or deacon can bless both pieces, usually after Mass at no cost. The set ships unblessed, as Church teaching requires. Does this count as wearing the traditional Brown Scapular? Best asked of a priest. The traditional scapular is brown wool worn over the shoulders, and Carmelite tradition holds that the wool itself carries the promises. A scapular necklace is widely worn as a daily reminder of devotion. Many wear both. Gold-filled or gold-plated? The crucifix is gold-filled. The chains and scapular are gold-plated. Gold-filled has a far thicker layer of real gold and lasts for decades. Explore our Catholic scapular jewelry and our Signature Collections.
