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 20".
- 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 2" 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 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

- Symbol
- Virgin Mary
- Packaging
- Signature gift box and polishing cloth
How to wear it
The oval pendant hangs on a fine flat-link chain, and with the clear stones along the top it catches the light over a dark dress or a plain sweater. At 6 to 8 g in all, it is light enough to wear all day. The product page does not give the chain length, so check the photos for where it falls.
Put it on after perfume and lotion, and take it off before showering or swimming to keep the finish and the stones bright. It suits Mother's Day, a wedding anniversary, a confirmation or Sunday Mass.
Questions
Is this Our Lady of Guadalupe?
It follows the Guadalupe style: Mary at prayer within a field of rays. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of Mexico and of the Americas.
Is The Radiant Madonna pendant stainless steel?
No. It is an alloy pendant in gold tone or silver tone, set with clear rhinestones and hung on a fine flat-link chain.
How do I keep the halo of stones on The Radiant Madonna bright?
Take it off before showering or swimming, and store it dry. Water and soap dull the finish and the rhinestones over time.
How heavy is it?
Between 6 and 8 g, chain included. You hardly feel it.
Is it a good gift for my grandmother?
Yes, especially for a woman with a devotion to Mary. Gold tone looks warm and classic; silver tone is softer.
What are the clear stones above Mary on The Radiant Madonna?
Rhinestones, not diamonds. They run in a row along the top of the oval, like a crown over Mary in prayer.
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 (Ave Maria), the traditional Marian prayer drawn from the Gospel of Luke

Its meaning
Mary within the rays
This image of Mary standing in prayer within a field of rays follows the manner of Our Lady of Guadalupe, who appeared to Saint Juan Diego at Tepeyac, near Mexico City, in 1531. The rays speak of the light of God around her, and her joined hands show her at prayer. The rose at her feet recalls the rosary, whose name comes from a garland of roses offered to Mary. Many Catholics wear her image as a quiet sign of trust in her care. This oval alloy pendant is crowned with a row of clear...
Giving it as a gift
For a mother or grandmother on Mother's Day, at Christmas or for a wedding anniversary. A godmother can also give it at a confirmation, to a young woman who keeps Mary close.
