Description

This highly detailed, historically accurate representation of the Greek Orthodox icon of Virgin Mary of Sorrows is engraved into a round medal in the metal of your choice. Available with or without a chain, this piece makes for the perfect gift for yourself, or for a special someone’s name day! The Virgin Mary of Sorrows, also known as the Mater Dolorosa, refers to Mary's deep sorrow and grief during the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus. Seven swords pierced her heart, each representing a sorrow. The prophecy foretold her anguish as she witnessed her son's suffering and sacrifice. The first sword was doubt, as Mary faced the angel's message. The second was the fear of judgment from her community. The third sword was grief for her son's rejection. The fourth sword was the torment of witnessing his crucifixion. The fifth sword was despair at his death. The sixth sword was the pain of holding his lifeless body. The seventh sword was the emptiness of his absence. Through it all, Mary endured, her faith unwavering.

METALS FAQ

Are your gold products real solid gold, or are they gold plated?

All our gold products are real solid gold; we never use any gold plating! Depending on the product, you can choose between a gold purity of 18K, 14K, or 10K. Each piece is stamped with the gold's purity, and every order comes with a certificate of authenticity inside the box.

If your gold products are real solid gold, how come the price is so low?

At Stakora, we take pride in handcrafting all our products ourselves at our workshop in Montreal, Canada, and selling them directly to our customers. By not outsourcing any part of the production process, we’re able to offer our pieces at affordable prices without sacrificing quality.

What is the difference between 10K and 14K gold?

A 14K piece contains more pure gold than a 10K piece, and therefore has more value. The “K” stands for “karat” and represents the amount of pure gold that the piece contains.

If jewelry was made from 100% pure gold (24K), it would be quite soft which means that it could bend or scratch easily. This is why jewelers always mix pure gold with other metals to create 10K gold, 14K gold and 18K gold. This makes the gold easier to work with and increases its strength. Think of it like a recipe: the higher the karat number, the more pure gold is used in the mix!

For yellow gold, a higher karat usually means a slightly stronger yellow color. However, these differences can be subtle and might be more or less noticeable depending on lighting.

Does solid gold change color over time?

Solid gold will never change color or tarnish over time!

Will the chain and the pendant both be made in the metal I choose?

Yes! The chain and the pendant will both be made in whichever metal you choose. For example, if you choose 10K Yellow Gold as your metal, both the chain and the pendant will be in solid 10K Yellow Gold.

Chain Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Which chain type and length should I choose?

Choosing the right chain type and length depends on who's going to wear it. Here are our recommendations:

For Women:

Women’s Chain: thinner
Unisex Chain: thicker
Men’s Chain: thickest

14”: fits like a choker

I already have a chain and want to only purchase the pendant. Will my chain fit inside the bail of the pendant?

The bail of the pendant has a 4mm opening, which is enough to fit most chains. Please keep in mind that your chain may appear thinner overall but can have thicker parts, such as the end piece or the clasp, which could exceed the 4mm limit. If you’re not sure whether your chain is too thick or has thicker parts, you can simply mention this in the order notes once you add the item to your cart. We will increase the size of the bail to make sure that it fits through your chain!

Will the chain and the pendant both be made in the metal I choose?

What happens if I order the wrong chain?

If you order the wrong chain, we would be happy to exchange it with the correct type/length. As per our return policy, you would only need to pay for the return label fee!
