Ridgewayforge Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Two friends, who I love dearly, are getting married at the end of December. They have asked me to find for their bouquet several medals of certain saints, and I am not having luck locating them wherever I look. I also can't seem to find any silversmiths, only jewelry shops. I would like to, at this point, have them made just for them. Can anyone direct me to a silversmith who may be willing to make four small oval medals (3/4" or smaller) and with whom I can speak to about this? Thank you all in advance for the help!

Ridgewayforge Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 The hardest one to find is a medal commemorating the massacre of the infants, called the "Holy Innocents", I believe. The others I've found good enough examples of, Elizabeth Seton, Joseph, and some new ones, Louis and Zelie Martin. For costs sake, I wanted to give them to my friends in silver, but I am open to other materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Did you google: "holy innocents" medal ? I see a goodly number of different versions there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Did you want them all to match (in style, size, material, etc)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yes; I saw the ones offered, but my main problem lies in finding all the medals in the same size and shape, which is a very definite specification for the couple. I work with several manufacturers of gold and silver medallions and jewelry, but they are larger distributors and didn't want to work with a one-off medal.

JHCC Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Maybe get some blank medals and find an engraver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 So perhaps you could post the requirements? Hiring a jeweler or engraver will NOT be the inexpensive way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 True; the material cost will be much less than labor if these are custom made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
