St. Amelia Custom Bangle

Made with rhodium-plated or gold-plated hand-wrapped wire bangles and Sterling Silver or 14kt Gold-Filled charm-size (1/2 x 1/4 inch) patron saint medals.St. Amelia was born in 741, in the Ardennes. Raised in a deeply religious home, Amelia and her brother were known for their sterling character and devotion to Christ. Amelia was preparing to become a religious sister in the Benedictine Abbey at Munsterbilsen, when her beauty and virtue caught the attention of Pepin, king of the Franks, and his son Charles. Charles pursued her for several years, and at one point broke Amelia's arm in a struggle. The arm miraculously healed and Charles resigned himself to Amelia's religious vocation. She is often depicted holding the Bible or venerating the crucifix, sometimes with a fish at her feet, owing to the legend that she arrived in Temsche by crossing the Schelde on the back of a fish.
