• Designed and produced exclusively for The Catholic Company

We designed this sterling silver necklace to honor Our Lady with the simple grace and beauty befitting our Holy Mother. The oval cutout style pendant features the Auspice Maria at the center. Some refer to it as the "Marian Monogram" or "Ave Maria" but it stands for "Auspice Maria", which is Latin for "under the protection of Mary."

The ancient symbol reminds us of Our Lady's words about herself:Am I not here, I who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection?

When you wear this necklace, you proclaim your loyalty to Our Mother, and you acknowledge her protection over your life. The "M" at the center contains 24 delicate, inlaid, clear crystals to celebrate Mary's purity, and the bail connecting it to the chain is shaped like the Fleur-de-lis, another ancient symbol of Our Lady.

A striking piece for your collection, or a meaningful devotional gift she will cherish.
