This is my third medal purchase from Ark & Armor. The quality and durability of the medals are the best I've found online. They're American made and support a small Catholic business. The chains are the most durable and masculine ones I've seen.
In the future. I would love to see you offer larger versions of your current medals; especially the crucifix and Miraculous Medal. God Bless your ministry in offering American made Catholic medals!
Truly. Very pleased with my necklace. It's got some genuine "weight" to it, being genuine sterling silver, and I love how it feels and how it looks. It's important to me that this necklace was made specially for me by faithful Catholics, and I believe them when they say they pray over every single they make. If you're in the market, this is the piece to invest in.
WARNING: Watch out when on ETSY because a lot of "Catholic" jewelry is from businesses that also produce occult and New Age memorabilia.
That's why I looked hard for the right business to make the right necklace, and I found just the one. Mine will last my lifetime.
I am very happy with the Crucifix Necklace I purchased. I searched a lot of websites and couldn't find a crucifix that I really liked. When I stumbled upon Ark & Armor I was impressed that their Crucifix Necklace had everything I was looking for. It took a while to ship but was well worth the wait for me. I like it so much I ordered a second for my father.
This truly is a beautiful crucifix. I love the detail and it has a nice, masculine feel to it. After the priest blessed it, he wanted to know more about it and said how nice it was. The picture of this crucifix gives you a good idea of what it is going to look like, but when you get in your hand it’s just like wow.
The neckless is absolutely beautiful and wonderful made. I purchased the crucifix. And the Saint Michael charm. It got here yesterday and I absolutely love it I will be a returning customer for sure thank you for such a quality product. I had it blessed by my parish priest
The product actually exceeded my expectations, and my husband loves it.
I usually wear it under my shirt, but this one I am proud to display. It looks even better than it does in the pictures.
Overly pleased with the piece I received from Ark & Armor. Going back in to purchase another. Highly recommended.
Arrived exactly as described. Feels very durable. Happy to support a small Catholic business.
The crucifix necklace arrived earlier than expected. It is extremely high quality and I’m so happy with it! Thank you!
The necklace is great - feels strong - and medals are a great size. Will be back for more!
Hello Gary & Ark & Armor. I never really leave reviews or feedback on many things i purchase but I have to say that this necklace and very nice medal of The Sacred Heart of Jesus is even nicer in person than I was expecting. When I opened it i actually just took a moment looking at it that night at the kitchen table for several minutes and I was really glad I got this. It’s been on me every day since and it’s my personal reminder every day of Jesus and his most sacred heart. Seems very well made and love its strong build especially as an everyday necklace as I’m always doing something physical especially for the work / trade i do. It’s also grabbed my sons (2) attentions as they grab it and look at it and we take a moment to say Jesus’s name and talk about him which is always nice. Thank you for making these necklaces and I look forward to purchasing another one soon. God bless ! (Also love our lady of mt Carmel on the back )
I love things made by human hands, the love and hard work put into a thing. This crucifix is one of my favorites. Thanks you Gary
My teen son really likes this cross. He was really impressed with the intricate double sided design of the cross and it's durability. He is kind of relieved at the unbreakable chain concept because he has lost or broken 10+ of lesser quality chains. It was because of this, I decided to purchase a better quality cross and chain for him. Plus the free repairs, he may need. Overall, it actually is less expensive than all of the less quality ones purchased for him. Thank you for doing what you do!
This is a very well made, strong, and beautiful medal. So much so that I often stop to look at it. I am a member of the Militia Immaculata, and our founder and patron, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, called the Miraculous Medal, a silver bullet against evil. Having this around my neck at all times reminds me of the Mother who will always help and protect us. Ark & Armor did a fantastic job with this one I will recommend you to anyone looking to get strong, quality Catholic sacramentals.
I love my crucifix and st Michael medal. The crucifix is great but the St. Michael medal lacked certain detail that the product pictures had. For example there is no face features on the medal I received. However, the detail isn’t what matters it’s what the piece offers to me, reminds me, and an outward expression of my faith, and that’s all that matters to me.
Thank you for your review! We are so sorry that the St. Michael medal didn't meet your expecations. We would be happy to replace the necklace under warranty, and will be reaching out via email to further assist. Thank you for choosing Ark & Armor!
After years and years and years of searching for medals that do not tarnish due to sweat, I've finally found the perfect medals. These medals are extremely detailed, durable and beautiful. The chain is very masculine and heavy duty. I had given up wearing sterling silver because of sweat related tarnishing. I finally found a craftsman that alleviates this problem. God Bless you and your ministry. Hopefully I will be purchasing a saint medal in the near future (St John Neumann)!
I really like my chain, its really handsome, masculine and great craftsmanship. The details in the crucifix are fantastic. Thank you, I would likely purchase from here again!
This Sacred Heart medal is not only beautiful but it will also be useful as it will serve as a backup scapular in case I lose or misplaced my cloth one.
I gave this to my husband as an anniversary present. He used to wear a chain full of miraculous medals. They were beautiful and he still loves those but he wanted something lighter that wouldn’t rust if he wore it in the shower. This crucifix is so beautiful and the sterling silver won’t irritate his skin. Plus, we love the St. Benedict medal on there. :)
