St. Jude Medal Sterling Silver | St. Charm | Religious Jewelry | Jewry Supplies

St. Jude Thaddaeus -- patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes -- cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This flat medal weighs 1.8 grams and measures 1/2" x 5/8", a comfortable size for daily wear.

Created through lost-wax casting, each medal is individually hand-polished from rough filing through tripoli compound to a final rouge buff. The progressive polishing process brings out the relief detail of the saint's image while maintaining a smooth, wearable surface.

St. Jude is one of the most widely invoked saints in the Catholic tradition, called upon when situations seem impossible. His feast day is October 28th, and devotion to St. Jude grew enormously during the Great Depression, when many turned to him as a source of hope.

A powerful gift for anyone facing difficult circumstances, hospital patients, or those who draw strength from faith during trying times. Arrives with a sterling silver jump ring for chain or bracelet wear.
