You have made your decision. You want to buy a St. Christopher
jewelry piece. The number and variety of products available
about this patron saint is staggering. A review of some out of
the ordinary as well as some traditional Saint Christopher items
may help.
A keepsake 14ct gold pin with name or date or other preference
is a nice gift for faith related occasions such as Baptism, First
Communion, Confirmation, etc. These pins have several options
to choose from, such as the standard image of St. Christopher
and child Jesus, and also the four way cross medal of Saint Christopher,
the Sacred Heart, The Blessed Mother, and St. Joseph. Another
jewelry 14 carat gold piece is the St. Christopher locket. This
is nicely done with the inscription on the front "My Love
Travels with You" and on the reverse side "And Protects
You Always".
Seeking a gift for that special person of Spanish heritage or
Spanish speaking? A tasteful medal is available that is large
sterling silver and has the inscription "San Cristobal protegemos".
This medal matched with a nice chain will be a perfect gift for
any occasion, but especially for the Roman Catholic sacramental
occasions. This San Cristobal medal is appropriate for all; child
or adult, man or woman.
Some things for the lady? The 14 ct gold earrings with a traditional
St. Christopher medal will be a hit with the woman of faith because
the inscription is "Saint Christopher Protect Us". These
are solid gold and can be hard to locate -- all the more to appreciate
because she will probably never have occasion to be at the same
place with another woman that has these hard to find earrings.
Go for it!! There is a moderately priced medal that is very appealing
and tastefully different than most St. Christopher jewelry. Made
of sterling silver the outer edges are beveled giving the look
of a picture frame.
There are three aspects that make this stand out from the crowd.
First, St. Christopher is standing tall, calm and relaxed rather
than the traditional posture of stooped. The coloring of his green/grey
cloak and his red garment suggest a brighter world and brighter
mission than some of the more familiar depictions. Lastly, the
image shows the halo over the head of both St. Christopher and
child Jesus. Other medals often lack the detail and often the
halo gets overlooked or even omitted. Not here, this is a piece
she will wear proudly and the medal will be noticed for these
features.
These are just a couple of St. Christopher jewelry pieces available,
and with a little effort you can find something that is just right
for you preference.
