A MEDAL I NEVER FORGOT.
I received a Saint Christopher medal when I was young. The medal itself was thin and fairly ordinary, but the meaning behind it stayed with me.
Years later, when my son graduated from high school, I wanted to give him the same symbol of protection—but I wanted to make it the way we make jewelry here: solid, substantial and built to last.
My sister saw his and asked us to make Saint Christophers for her sons, her daughter and herself. When my other son graduated, he wanted one too.
That experience helped shape the direction Messages in Metal is taking today.
