Saint Hubert Medal Necklace – Patron Saint of Hunters & Dogs

Saint Hubert of Liège, Patron Saint of Hunters and Dogs

Hubert was a Frankish nobleman who served in the royal court before withdrawing from public life after his wife's death, devoting himself entirely to hunting in the forests of the Ardennes. According to tradition, while hunting on Good Friday, he encountered a stag bearing a crucifix between its antlers, a moment that led him to abandon his old life and pursue the priesthood. He became the first bishop of Liège in 708, spending the rest of his life caring for the poor and evangelizing the region until his death in 727.

A Confirmation Gift for Hubert

This medal suits a young man who spends more time outdoors than in, a hunter, an athlete, or simply someone who thinks best away from walls. His namesake saint found his faith in the middle of the woods, not despite the life he loved, but because of it. Consider engraving his Confirmation date with a short word like "found" or "called."

The Saint Hubert Medal

The medal shows Saint Hubert kneeling before the stag with a cross between its antlers, his dog beside him, capturing the moment tradition holds changed his life. The natural gold or silver of the metal forms the illustration itself. Black ink is applied to the pendant surface and the metal shows through as the image. A shatterproof liquid glass coating seals the surface. The result has a depth and precision that printed medals don't achieve.

Personalization and Engraving

Add up to two lines of custom engraving to the back of the medal, in a flowing Tangerine cursive font, 20 characters max per line. A hunting season date, a Confirmation date, or a dog's name all suit him well.

Saint Hubert's feast day is celebrated November 3rd, traditionally marked in hunting communities across Europe with blessings of dogs and horns before the season begins.
