San Benito medals in solid 14K yellow gold — the St. Benedict medal, in cross and key forms.
What it carries. The medal is covered in initials standing for a Latin exorcism prayer, with the cross of St. Benedict at the centre. It is worn for protection against evil and temptation, and is one of the oldest medals still in common use.
Cross and key. The cross form is the traditional one. Key designs carry the same devotion in a different shape.
Where it is worn. Widely across Latin America and Spain as San Benito, and among Benedictine communities everywhere.
