The Illumination Wisdom Necklace
The Illumination Wisdom Necklace is a multi-strand necklace featuring our double sided Wisdom's Seat medal with Saint Gabriel and Theotokos (the Mother of God). Theotokos is another name for the Virgin Mary, who also represents Wisdom. This is a rare and beautiful medal. It's called Wisdom's Seat because the Madonna is shown in her iconic role as the Seat of Wisdom holding her babe, the Christ Child.
Archangel Gabriel, is known as the Messenger. He works closely with mankind and is the patron saint of communication. He is also the angel of strength and protection who helps facilitate communication - especially between children, parents, teachers, family and friends. A tiny Fleur de Lis calls in the Trinity adding extra blessings.
The Lourdes Illumination Necklace features a Queen of the Rosary Medal given to Pilgrims to Lourdes, France. It's paired here with a Fleur de Lis to create a layering piece that can easily be worn alone or with any of our longer necklaces. The crystals add a bit of bounce and illumination, but are subdued for night or day wear.
As beautiful as they are graceful, the Moonglow Madonnas feature Theotokos and Our Lady of Lujan. The "Moonglow" Silver Freshwater Pearls are hand-linked with prayerful intention for the wearer. A Fleur de Lis representing the
Trinity accents the clasp and serves as a connector.
