Vintage French Silver Virgin Mary Medal Necklace Gold-Plated Figaro Chain
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This entirely vintage French necklace features a solid silver Virgin Mary medal with the Latin inscription Monstra Te Esse Matrem — Show thyself as Mother. Sourced in Paris, the medal is suspended from a vintage gold-plated figaro chain, creating a devotional necklace of historic and spiritual depth. On the reverse, the medal bears the inscription Congrégation des Enfants de Marie — Congregation of the Children of Mary — a symbol of consecration, protection, and lifelong dedication to the care of the Holy Mother. The front shows the Virgin Mary with rays extending from her hands, surrounded by stars, echoing traditional Marian iconography. The figaro chain is flat-linked and substantial, adding elegance and vintage character to the piece. Entirely original — both medal and chain are antique — this is not a reproduction or recombination. Ideal for collectors of Catholic devotional jewelry, Marian medals, or French religious artifacts, this necklace serves as a spiritual talisman and sacred adornment, offering comfort, clarity, and connection to divine grace. Length: 20 inches Solid silver medal, gold-plated vintage figaro chain...

Vintage Chain Necklaces

Vintage chain necklaces can make a statement on their own. What’s better than eye-catching chains of yellow gold or subtle silver to accessorize with everything from a designer evening dress to a comfortable sweatshirt?

Personal ornament in general has been around for eons. Ancient Egyptians designed jewelry and wore necklaces, rings and other accessories, and the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber in 1922 had the greatest impact on Art Deco jewelry. When chain necklaces first took on some visibility in ancient civilizations, these items weren’t exactly democratic.

Chain necklaces were accessories that were relegated strictly to royal families and the upper class. In ancient times, pendant necklaces conferred prestige, for example. Wealthy Greeks and Romans opted for gold and silver necklaces that featured ornate pendants and semiprecious stones. By the Renaissance period, the pendant had replaced the brooch as the most worn type of jewelry. Pendant necklaces were commonplace, or pendants were simply strung on long gold chains.

Thankfully, jewelry became more accessible over time. And trends have come and gone, but the popularity of chain necklaces today owes in part to hip-hop culture. Big, chunky gold chains and diamond necklaces were the order of the day in publicity shoots and on album covers for rappers in the early 1980s onward, and a gold chain is still a mainstay in the ever-evolving and broadening hip-hop culture as we know it.

In our modern era, a number of chain-link necklaces are trending, worn alone or layered. The stylish links that have passed the test of time include oval links, paper-clip chains and more. The best way to discover your perfect fit is to zero in on a particular name and type of link.

While it was once key to accessorizing for a formal event, a vintage chain necklace now adds a fresh dynamic to any outfit at any time of day. Find yours on 1stDibs.
