I design, carve, and cast the medals myself. The medals are made of lead-free pewter and have designs on both sides. The medal comes on either an 18-inch or 24-inch stainless steel chain with a lobster clasp. Each necklace comes in a felt jewelry pouch with a history card that states:
St. Teresa (1515-82) is one of the greatest Christian authorities on contemplation and prayer. She did much in the world of action (e.g., she was an excellent businesswoman), but it was in the interior world that she reached heights that few in Christian history have attained. Recognizing her gifts (her greatest work is the Interior Castle), the church named her a Doctor of the Church. Prayer for her was an intimate dialogue (encompassing anger, tenderness, and humor) with God. This dialogue also brought peace. Her most famous line is from a poem: “Let nothing disturb you./All things pass away./God never changes.” This medal was hand carved by Hank Schlau and was cast in lead-free pewter. Four letters, LNDY (Let Nothing Disturb You), are carved on the back, as a reminder of Teresa’s core message.
Dimensions of pendant: 1.5 inches high x 1 inch wide; note that this is a large, heavy medal
