Choosing Sterling Silver, Gold Filled, or 14KT Gold

Sterling silver is a practical precious-metal choice for frequent wear and is often selected for Confirmation, graduation, professional milestones, and everyday devotion.

Availability depends on the individual design.

Medal size and chain length matter as much as metal. A smaller pendant is easier to wear discreetly, while a larger medal creates a more visible devotional necklace. Because product photography can make sizes appear similar, use the listed dimensions to compare designs.
