This oval-shaped religious medal is made of 18-karat yellow gold, a precious alloy widely used in high-end jewelry for its durability and warm luster. The piece features an engraved portrait of Padre Pio, an Italian saint canonized in 2002 who is widely revered in the Catholic world for his stigmata and devotion. The image is stylized using a laser or mechanical engraving technique commonly used in contemporary jewelry, allowing for a faithful reproduction of the face in subtle detail, contrasting matte and shiny areas.
The polished border, slightly raised compared to the satin-finished center, adds a clean finish and highlights the central image. The bail (suspension ring) is simple but sturdy, designed for everyday or devotional use, allowing a thin chain or cord to be threaded through it.
From a stylistic point of view, this medal is in a contemporary religious style, probably produced between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Its sober, functional, and straightforward aesthetic is characteristic of modern religious objects intended for a wide audience but made from a noble material such as 750/1000 gold, often given as a sacrament, a souvenir of a pilgrimage, or an important religious gift (baptism, confirmation, etc.).
This medal combines faith and modern craftsmanship, while retaining a traditional look thanks to its classic shape and sacred subject matter. The choice of 18-karat gold, beyond its material value, emphasizes the precious and symbolic nature of the object, which is intended to be kept for life or even passed on.
