St Benedict Medal – Italian Oxidized Charms & Beads, Wholesale
The St Benedict medal, supplied in bulk by a Catholic wholesaler to parishes, schools, religious-goods stores, rosary-makers, and online resellers. One face shows Saint Benedict holding the cross and his Rule; the other carries the Cross of Saint Benedict, ringed by the initials of the Vade Retro Satana prayer — the centuries-old blessing that makes this the Church’s great medal of protection against evil. Every piece is die-cast in Italy from oxidized metal — lead-free and zinc-free — with crisp relief on both sides and an antique silver-tone finish.
The medal comes in three formats so you can carry one devotion across several lines. A small round charm (about 1 cm / 0.4 inch) arrives with a jump ring, ready to hang straight onto a chain, a bracelet, or a car mirror. Round and oval beads of the same size are drilled to string into rosaries, chaplets, and bracelets, or to sell as jewelry-making components. Because the metal is lead- and zinc-free, the charms suit pieces worn by children.
The St Benedict medal is one of the most requested sacramentals in the Catholic world — bought for protection and blessing, kept in homes and cars, given at Confirmation and RCIA, and built into rosaries and bracelets by the makers who reorder it. Its meaning is part of the appeal: the letters C S P B stand for “Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti,” the Cross of our Holy Father Benedict, and the medal is worn as a daily prayer for protection. That story keeps it moving off display cards and counters year-round.

FAQ
What does the St Benedict medal mean?
One side shows Saint Benedict with a cross and his Rule; the other shows the Cross of Saint Benedict. The letters around it are the initials of Latin prayers — C S P B for “the Cross of our Holy Father Benedict,” and the border letters for the Vade Retro Satana (“Begone Satan”). For this reason it is worn as a medal of protection against evil and temptation.
What are the medals made of and what sizes are available?
All pieces are die-cast in Italy from oxidized metal that is free of lead and zinc, with detailed relief on both sides — not sterling silver or solid gold, which keeps the wholesale price low. They measure about 1 cm (0.4 inch): a round charm with a jump ring, plus round and oval beads drilled for stringing.
Can these be used for rosary and bracelet making?
Yes. The round and oval beads are drilled so they can be strung into St Benedict rosaries, chaplets, and bracelets, and the charm comes with a ring to hang directly. Their lead- and zinc-free metal makes them suitable for pieces worn by children.
What is the minimum order, and do you provide customs documentation?
The St Benedict medal is supplied in wholesale packs with a low minimum order and volume pricing on larger quantities. Every international shipment includes detailed customs invoices for smooth clearance, and we ship to roughly 25 countries with consistent quality across reorders.
