Vintage French Virgin Mary Madonna Bar Pin In Gold Fill 'Fix'

In the Catholic religion, it is believed that wearing a medal or pin with the image of a saint will bring protection and answer prayers. The practice is not limited to Catholics alone; other Christian denominations also hold these talismans as sacred. This bar pin, depicting the Blessed Mother, the virgin Mary, mother of Christ is delicately crafted in a gold filled metal, which the French called 'fix'. Gothic ogees adorn both sides, with a medallion in the center bearing the visage of the Madonna. A lovely little piece that was likely given as a gift for a First Communion, a wedding, or the birth of a child. Sure to become a sweet favorite for anyone who collects antique and vintage religious jewelry!
