Saint Joseph Necklace

Oh St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.

Our necklaces feature a strong, simple design with just 3 components: chain, medal, and jump ring. There’s no troublesome clasp to open or close—the necklaces are made to easily slide over your head.

We purposefully selected the most durable materials for our necklaces to guarantee they’ll stand the test of time. 

Our strong curb chains are made with marine-grade stainless steel, our detailed medals are forged with solid sterling silver coated in a protective lacquer finish, and our unyielding jump rings are crafted with the thickest stainless steel wire possible.

These fortified materials make our necklaces waterproof, sweatproof, hypoallergenic, tarnish resistant, and practically unbreakable.

Each necklace is prayerfully made by hand with skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.

We stand behind the reinforced design of our pieces with our Lifetime Warranty.

For a full breakdown on our design and materials, keep reading below.

Stainless Steel Curb Chain

The chain is one of the most important components in a necklace because it’s always resting on your skin and carrying the full weight of the medal. These two features also make the chain the most likely part of a necklace to break.

For these reasons, we conducted extensive testing on countless chains, dedicated to finding the most resilient and wearable option available. The end result? Our sturdy stainless steel curb chain that offers the perfect balance of strength, style, and comfort.

The chain itself consists of tight interlocking links that have been flattened to deliver a smooth, comfortable feel—and minimize the likelihood of pulling chest hair. The links are connected in an “endless” looping design, eliminating the need for a clasp (our necklaces are designed to simply slide over your head).

Our chains are crafted with marine-grade stainless steel—which delivers an unparalleled level of toughness, longevity, and corrosion resistance. Plus, the stainless steel in our chains is hypoallergenic, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin.

Sterling Silver Medal

The medal is the part of the necklace that reminds us to constantly turn our hearts, minds, and souls to God.

We intentionally chose medals that are larger in size and heavier in weight for that very reason—we wanted the presence of the medal (and, in turn, the presence of the Lord) to be felt at all times while wearing the necklace.

With that being said, our medals are not overly burdensome and still provide an incredibly comfortable wearing experience. Each medal we offer is illustrated with an intricate design that showcases the highest level of American craftsmanship and quality.

Our medals are forged with solid sterling silver, an alloyed precious metal that’s both resilient and worthy of a beautiful Catholic image. And to ensure lifelong durability, our medals are coated with a protective lacquer finish which prevents tarnishing.

Stainless Steel Jump Ring

Though often forgotten, the jump ring is an incredibly important component since it attaches the medal to the chain. If the jump ring fails, your medal will fall off the chain and be lost for good.

Our goal is to keep your medal securely connected to your chain forever, come what may. So instead of using standard issue jump rings—which tend to pull apart with a tug—we chose to use the thickest-gauge jump rings possible.

The heavy-duty wire used in our jump rings is designed to perfectly fit the open slot for our charms. What does that mean? Try as you might, there’s no way that medal is coming off your necklace chain.

Our jump rings are built with stainless steel, offering the highest level of bend-and-break resistance while maintaining a subtle, classy appearance.

Our lifetime warranty is short and simple:

If your necklace breaks, we’ll fix it free of charge for the rest of your life. 

This warranty also covers any material or manufacturing defects with your necklace chain, jump ring, or charm.

You may be wondering how a small business like ours can offer such a bold warranty…

We intentionally over-engineered our necklaces with reinforced materials and components to guarantee they’ll last a lifetime—which makes us 100% confident that they simply will not break. We‘ll forever stand behind the quality and durability of our pieces.

To request a warranty repair, just send a photo of your damaged piece to support@arkandarmor.com (be sure to include your order number and a brief description of what went wrong). You’ll be responsible for shipping your necklace back to us, and we’ll take it from there.

Our warranty does not cover lost/stolen items, tarnishing/scratches that comes with normal wear and tear, or improper use/storage of your necklace. If your piece is modified or worked on in any way by a third party, your warranty will become void.
