This is a vintage silver-tone Miraculous Medal pendant set in an ornate pierced eight-pointed star frame, about 7/8 inch across.
The star frame is what makes this one — most Miraculous Medals are plain ovals, and the engraved fan and quatrefoil panels catch the light from every point.
This is one of several pieces of vintage jewelry I'm listing this week, so please take a look at my other listings.

About this item
The two-sided design follows the devotional pattern first struck in the 1830s, and the uncommon star frame sets this example apart for a collector of Catholic medals or an everyday wearer alike.
