Somewhere around the middle of the twentieth century, someone had a very practical idea: rather than pick a side, why not carry both. This vintage 10K gold medal from the 1950s or 60s is reversible, with a pierced Star of David on one face and a Saint Christopher relief on the other, robe, staff, and the Christ child on his shoulder, circled by the words Protect Us. Dual faith medals like this one were a real mid century phenomenon, given as gifts and carried by servicemen who wanted their protection covering every possible base.
At 12 grams of solid 10K gold this has real heft in the hand, not a hollow stamped charm. The detailing is crisp on both faces, from the geometric linework framing the star to the modeled drapery on Saint Christopher's robe. It hangs from a simple gold jump ring, ready for a chain of your choosing.
Whether you want it for the history, the craftsmanship, or the sheer novelty of a piece that hedges its bets, this is not something you find twice.
