About the Item

Religious Nossa Senhora do Carmo Oval Medallion Pendant in 19.2K Yellow Gold, Signed “J.DA.SILVA.”, Portuguese, 20th Century. A remarkable expression of faith and fine Portuguese craftsmanship, this luminous 19.2kt yellow gold medallion pendant is a devotional work of art, imbued with spiritual and cultural depth. Depicting Nossa Senhora do Carmo (Our Lady of Mount Carmel), this sculptural piece captures the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child in flowing, celestial forms, tenderly rendered in high relief. The inscription “N. S. DO CARMO” arches above the figures, while each holds a scapular—symbols of divine protection and grace—evoking both reverence and serenity. The reverse is equally poetic: a radiant sunburst emanates from above, shining down upon an elegant acanthus and fleur-de-lis motif, uniting heavenly and earthly beauty in perfect balance. Crafted in rich 19.2K gold, a uniquely Portuguese alloy known for its warmth and depth, the pendant bears the signature of master engraver J. da Silva, a name synonymous with mid-20th century sacred art in Portugal. Substantial in presence and weight, this piece speaks to both spiritual devotion and exceptional artistry. Wear it. Collect it. Treasure it. 📿 For collectors of religious art, Portuguese gold, or rare devotional jewelry, this signed medallion is a deeply moving and highly wearable relic of faith and artistry.
