AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A miraculous medallion (also known as the Medallion of the Immaculate Conception or the Medallion of Saint Catherine Labouré) in a gold openwork frame of 375 gold stars. • Image in the center. The Virgin Mary stands on the globe, trampling a serpent underfoot, and rays of grace emanate from her outstretched hands.
• Inscription along the edge. In the first language of the prayer, "Ô Marie conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous," which translates as "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray to God for us who have recourse to you."
• Date at the bottom. The year 1830 is the year of the influence of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the nun Catherine Labouré in Paris, after which the first such medallion was minted.
• Decoration. The oval medallion is framed by a decorative filigree lace border and complemented by an eyelet for a chain, which is typical of the products of French jewelry workshops, in particular from Lourdes.

A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
