Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 50 cm.
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.
Still unsure? Ask us, a real person replies within 24 hours.

How to wear it
The image of the Virgin Mary comes in two sizes: the small pendant (25 x 45 mm) is discreet enough for every day, while the large one (40 x 66 mm) is a statement piece. Both hang on a 60 cm square pearl chain, which places the pendant on the lower chest, over a blouse, a sweater or a simple dress.
The gold-tone stainless steel handles daily wear; put it on after perfume so the crystal stones keep their sparkle. Choose the small size for a confirmation and the large one for Mother's Day or Christmas.
Questions
Which size should I choose?
The small (25 x 45 mm) is discreet and suits a younger wearer or everyday use. The large (40 x 66 mm) is clearly visible from a distance and makes a bolder statement.
How low does the large 40 x 66 mm Marian Radiance hang on its 60 cm chain?
On the lower chest. Both sizes come on a 3 mm square pearl chain of 60 cm (about 24 in); the small 25 x 45 mm pendant sits at the same height but reads more discreetly.
Is the halo around the Virgin Mary on the Marian Radiance made of diamonds?
No. The halo is a continuous line of pavé crystal stones around the oval frame, set on gold-plated stainless steel.
Can a Protestant wear an image of the Virgin Mary?
Yes, though devotion to Mary is most common among Catholic and Orthodox Christians. Anyone who honors Mary as the mother of Jesus can wear it with respect.
Is it a good gift from a godmother to a goddaughter?
Yes. An image of Mary is a classic gift between godmothers and goddaughters, especially in Mexican and Latino families. The small size suits a confirmation.
Will daily showers dull the crystals on the Marian Radiance?
Water will not hurt the steel, but soap and perfume can leave a film on the pavé crystals and wear the gold plating faster. A wipe with the microfiber cloth after wearing keeps the halo bright.
Virgin Mary necklace for women
A woman who wears Mary is often saying that she does not raise her children, carry her job or face her fears by herself. There is a mother beside her. The Radiant Madonna shows Mary in prayer within a field of rays, for someone who has brought her every worry for years. The Miraculous Pendant is quieter, 25 mm, with her hands open and grace falling from them. To say while fastening it: Hail Mary, full of grace. More: Marian and Sacred Heart Jewelry.
Christmas gift for my Catholic mom
She has probably prayed for you more nights than you know. Christmas is a good day to give something back to that prayer. The Prayerful Journey is a steel rosary with the Miraculous Medal at its center, for evenings when the words run out. If she wears one medal and never takes it off, the Petite Miraculous Medal stays with her all day. On the card: I know who you talk to about me. Thank you. More: Christian Christmas Gifts.
The prayer
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The Hail Mary, traditional prayer of the rosary

Its meaning
Mary, surrounded by rays of light
Catholics honor Mary as the mother of Jesus and ask for her prayers, most often with the Hail Mary, whose first words are the angel Gabriel's greeting in the Gospel of Luke. The figure on this pendant stands in an oval of rays, close to the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, who by Catholic tradition appeared to Saint Juan Diego at Tepeyac, Mexico, in 1531. The Church honors her as Patroness of the Americas. Here the oval frame is set with pavé crystal stones, in a gold finish. The pendant hangs on a 60...
Giving it as a gift
In many Mexican and Latino families, an image of Mary is a classic gift between mothers and daughters or from a godmother to a goddaughter. Choose the smaller size for a confirmation, the larger one for Mother's Day or Christmas.
