Saint Michael Oval Medal on 14k Gold Filled Starburst Curb Chain
Saint Michael the Archangel isn't a saint, but rather he is an angel, and the leader of all angels and of the army of God. This is what the title "Archangel" means, that he is above all the others in rank.
Apart from his being a patron of warriors, the sick and the suffering also consider Archangel Michael their patron saint. In late medieval Christianity, Michael, together with Saint George, became the patron saint of chivalry and is now also considered the patron saint of police officers, paramedics and the military. Additional Patronage: Protector of the Jewish people, Guardian of the Catholic Church, Vatican City.

About "Gold Filled Jewelry": Also called rolled-gold. These jewelry items are not actually filled with gold. They are made of a base metal covered by sheets of gold in a mechanical bonding process. Effectively a thick coat of gold: the industry standard for the gold content is 5% or 1/20 of the total weight. Made with 14k gold, it is hard wearing. With reasonable care it will not peel or flake, and should last as long as solid 14k gold jewelry. It is safe for most people with sensitive skin. With gold-filled jewelry, the process involves mechanically bonding the gold to the core through extreme pressure and heat. It results in a more resilient exterior that’s not prone to flaking or cracking.
