St Charbel Medalion

That’s the best part — it’s entirely up to you. For some, this pendant serves as a quiet symbol of faith or protection. For others, it’s a reminder of personal strength, resilience or even family heritage. The engraved figure at the centre gives it a classic, almost timeless feel.

Because it’s crafted in sleek white gold, it also looks wonderfully modern. So whether you see it as a nod to tradition or a new chapter in your story, this pendant carries meaning in a way that’s personal to you. It’s more than just jewellery. It’s a way to wear your beliefs, memories or hopes close to your heart every single day.

You can absolutely wear it daily. In fact, many clients tell us they never take theirs off. Because we craft this pendant from solid white gold, it stands up beautifully to everyday life. Unlike gold plating, which can fade or wear off, solid gold keeps its bright lustre for years to come.

Of course, it’s still a good idea to take it off before swimming or handling harsh cleaning products. This helps preserve both the gold’s gleam and the fine engraved details. Outside of that, wear it to brunch, work, date night — wherever you want. It’s designed to move through life right alongside you.

There are loads of ways to wear it. For simple everyday style, let it shine on its own over a crisp white tee or a classic button-up. The engraving draws interest without overwhelming your outfit.

Want a layered look? Try it with different white gold chains at varying lengths. This creates a chic, modern stack that feels effortlessly put together. If you’re heading out in the evening, pair it with slim diamond studs or a delicate tennis bracelet to pick up the pendant’s subtle shine.

Luckily, this pendant is pretty low-maintenance. Every few weeks, pop it in a bowl of warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Let it soak for five minutes, then gently brush around the engraving and chain with a super-soft toothbrush. Rinse under lukewarm water and pat it dry with a lint-free cloth.

Try not to use tissues or paper towels. They can leave tiny scratches on gold. Also, when you’re not wearing it, tuck it into a lined jewellery box or soft pouch. This keeps it safe from knocks or rubbing against harder gems.

For extra peace of mind, bring it into our Sydney workshop once or twice a year. We’ll give it a professional clean, check the setting and polish it up so it looks brand new. You can easily book a care appointment online anytime.

It really comes down to quality and personal care. At Ernesto Buono, we hand-select our white gold and craft each pendant right here in Sydney. That means tighter quality control, from the crisp engraving down to the final polish.

Big chain stores often rely on mass production. While that might be fine for some, it usually means lighter, hollow pieces or surface-only finishes that don’t stand the test of time. We do things differently. We use solid gold and take our time to get every tiny detail right.

Then there’s the experience. Want to see how the pendant layers with your other pieces? Need honest styling advice? We’re here for all of that, without the pushy sales tactics. It’s why so many clients come back for anniversary gifts, birthday surprises or even to pass on heirlooms.
