This medal is made up of two different pieces of metal. The border and jump ring of the metal has a gold finish, while the Sacred Heart of Jesus (front) and the Scapular Medal (back) the insert has a silver oxidized piece. Measuring 1" in diameter, this medal is die-cast for exceptional detail, and silver oxidized with a rich, three dimensional silver plated finish as only the Italians in the central region of Italy have perfected.
