About Saint Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc was 17 years old when she walked into the French court and convinced a king to give her an army. She was 19 when she was burned at the stake. In the two years between those events she turned the course of the Hundred Years War, lifted the siege of Orléans, and escorted Charles VII to his coronation at Reims. The Catholic Church canonized her in 1920, but she had been a saint in the popular imagination for five centuries before that.

She is the patron saint of courage, France, soldiers, and of people who act on conviction when everything around them says not to. She is also one of the most powerful confirmation saints for a young woman who knows her own mind.

Saint Joan of Arc's feast day is May 30 - the date of her execution in 1431. It is one of the few feast days in the Catholic calendar that marks not a birth into heaven in the abstract but a specific, documented, historically verifiable moment of courage.

The Saint Joan of Arc Medal

This medal depicts her in full armor, holding a battle banner, a shield bearing the fleur-de-lis at her feet. Her halo radiates behind her head. 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 fleur-de-lis on her shield is the symbol most closely associated with Joan of Arc and with France. She carried it into battle and it appeared on the standard she flew over Orléans.

Personalization and Engraving

The optional engraving on the reverse is rendered in Tangerine cursive. Two lines, up to 20 characters each. Joan of Arc left behind some of the most quoted words in history. Popular engravings include:

  • "I am not afraid"
  • "Born to do this"
  • "Be brave"

For a confirmation gift, most people engrave the recipient's name and confirmation date.

 

The Metal Is the Image

Unlike stamped or printed medals, our black ink artwork is applied directly onto the surface, so every bright line in the illustration is the metal itself shining through, with detail no stamped medal can hold.

Hand-Poured Seal

Sealed with a durable, crystal-clear liquid glass coating to protect the vibrant image for a lifetime.

Exclusive Artwork

Custom-illustrated in-house, ensuring every saint's depiction is completely unique to our store.

Made in the USA

FAQ

How long does production take?

Each medal is made to order in the USA. Production takes 5-6 business days before shipping. If you need it for a birthday, confirmation, or any specific occasion, order at least two weeks in advance to be safe.

What does the engraving look like?

The reverse is engraved in Tangerine cursive — an elegant, flowing script. You get two lines, up to 20 characters each. Names, dates, short quotes. The engraving is laser-etched directly into the metal, not printed.

Is the chain included?

Yes. Every medal ships on an 18-22" adjustable snake chain in the same finish as the medal - stainless steel or 18k gold. No need to source a chain separately.

Are the medals hypoallergenic?

Yes. Both options are made from medical-grade 316 stainless steel. The 18k gold finish is applied over that same 316 stainless steel base. Safe for sensitive skin.

How durable is the coating?

Each medal is hand-sealed with a shatterproof liquid glass coating poured directly over the surface. It protects the artwork from scratches and moisture without dulling the detail or altering the color. It's designed to be worn daily, not kept in a drawer.

What's your return policy on engraved orders?

Because every medal is custom-made to order, engraved pieces cannot be returned unless there's a defect or error on our part. If anything arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us and we'll make it right.
