Painted at the age of 16, by Carlo Dolci (1616-1687), the Blue Madonna evokes peace.

This large (1 1/4" x 1 5/8"), oval shaped pendant is an elegant way to remind yourself and others of our mother, Mary. A richly colored print is set in an antique silver colored bezel and finished with a shiny glaze. Looks best on a longer chain, 24 to 28 inches (not shown).

It makes a beautiful gift for Mom, or any special lady in your life. Religious gifts are often appreciated by the Catholic or non-Catholic friends in your life as a source of consolation and joy.

This particular portrait of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a favorite of mine, and of many!
