I designed and carved the original pendant and then cast them in lead-free pewter. The pendant comes on a metal chain with a lobster clasp. Each comes in a jewelry pouch with a history card stating:

St. Hildegard (1098-1179), an abbess and foundress of a Benedictine community, was also “an author and theologian; prophet and preacher; musician and composer; poet and artist; doctor and pharmacist.” Throughout her life she had a series of visions that she described in her illustrated book "Scivias." The visions show human beings, the universe, and all creatures as “sparks” of God’s love. Her poetry and music are further expressions of this vision. She also wrote two treatises on medicine and “stands as one of the great figures in the history of women in medicine.” This medal, which shows her receiving illumination, was handmade at In the Company of Saints in Covington, Louisiana.
