This beautiful vintage necklace features the Virgin Mary surrounded by the inscription: “O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” The reverse displays the classic Miraculous Medal design with the cross, “M,” Sacred Heart, and Immaculate Heart symbols.
The charm is marked Sterling and has been tested (and confirms is Sterling). The chain is NOT sterling.
