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.While Saint Francis is one of the most widely known and loved saints, he was a bit of a delinquent as a youth. As the son of a clothing merchant he received an excellent education, but did not convert his religious beliefs until he was a prisoner of war. Using the Gospels as rule, he visited hospitals, preached, and served the ill. After establishing a following, he founded the Franciscans. Saint Francis of Assisi was also known to receive the Stigmata throughout the last years of his life.
