The night itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHoly Family Oval Pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003enativity scene\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that choice is what separates it from every other Holy Family medal on the market. Most of them line the three figures up facing forward. This one puts the \u003cstrong\u003eChild lying in the manger\u003c\/strong\u003e at the bottom of the oval, bedded in \u003cstrong\u003ecarved straw\u003c\/strong\u003e, with his parents leaning in over him from either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoseph\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in from the left, bearded, his \u003cstrong\u003estaff\u003c\/strong\u003e laid across the front of his robe. \u003cstrong\u003eMary\u003c\/strong\u003e leans in from the right under a veil that falls the length of her back. Both heads are bowed, and they nearly meet at the top of the oval — which closes the composition into a circle around the Child and leaves no gap for the eye to escape through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relief is deliberately \u003cstrong\u003elow and soft\u003c\/strong\u003e, closer to a Renaissance plaquette than to the deep carving we usually cut. Nothing is sharp; the forms rise and fall gradually out of a satin ground. Against that, the \u003cstrong\u003eraised rim\u003c\/strong\u003e is left mirror-bright, and it is the only hard edge on the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e20g in 18K\u003c\/strong\u003e inside a footprint just over an inch tall, it is dense for its size and hangs flat. The \u003cstrong\u003ereverse is plain polished\u003c\/strong\u003e — the obvious place for a wedding date or a child’s name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Holy Family is the image of the household rather than the church. It is what people buy on a marriage, a first child, or a move, and it asks for the ordinary things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You’ll Love It:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Nativity, Not a Group Portrait\u003c\/strong\u003e – The Child in the manger with both parents bowed over him\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarved Straw Bed\u003c\/strong\u003e – The manger worked in texture beneath the Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft Low Relief\u003c\/strong\u003e – Modelled like a Renaissance plaquette rather than deep-cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror Rim Against Satin\u003c\/strong\u003e – The only bright edge on an otherwise matte face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngravable Reverse\u003c\/strong\u003e – Back left plain and polished smooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Gold Throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e – No stones and no plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChain not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.3mm × 22.8mm (1.11” × 0.90”), not including bail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain Fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReverse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlain polished, suitable for engraving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Weight by Purity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
