THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL PENDANT

A titanium steel pendant cast in the form of the archangel Michael in full armour, wings spread wide, the serpent crushed beneath his feet. The figure is rendered in high relief with detailed work across the breastplate, feathered wings and base — small details that catch the light at different angles. Titanium steel is finished to resist scratching and tarnish, and at 11g the pendant has weight without bulk. It sits close to the chest and wears comfortably from morning to night.

Michael — the archangel of medieval tradition — has been carried as a symbol of protection by soldiers, police and emergency services for centuries.

THE MICHAEL CROSS PENDANT

A cross pendant depicting the archangel Michael in full armour, sword raised, the serpent beneath him — engraved with the Latin inscription Quis ut Deus, "Who is like God?" — the rhetorical phrase from which Michael's Hebrew name itself derives. Available in 925 sterling silver or stainless steel, both hypoallergenic and suited to daily wear without removal. The bail is sized at 4mm, allowing the pendant to be hung from a heavier chain than the one included if preferred.

A cross with real history behind the design rather than ornament for its own sake.

THE BENEDICT CROSS PENDANT

A stainless steel pendant joining the Saint Benedict medallion to a Celtic-style round cross — two of the older forms in Christian design, brought together in one piece. The medallion carries the Latin inscription Vade Retro Satana — "Begone, Satan" — used on Benedict medals since the 11th century, alongside the traditional engraved iconography of the saint and the cross. The 30-gram weight is substantial without being heavy on the chain. Available in gold or silver finish, or as a paired gift set for two.

Stainless steel construction is hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant — built to be worn every day without taking off.

Specifications

• Material: Stainless steel
• Finish: Gold, silver, or paired gift set
• Dimensions: 72mm × 32mm (2.83" × 1.25")
• Weight: 30g (approx.)
• Chain: 24" stainless steel, included
• Packaging: Velvet pouch
• Care: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid prolonged contact with water and fragrance

THE DRAGON SLAYER PENDANT

A stainless steel pendant depicting Saint George — the fourth-century Roman soldier and patron saint of England — in the act of slaying the dragon. The figure is rendered in deep relief with a hand-polished finish that catches the light cleanly across the helm, shield and rearing horse. At 37.6g the pendant is the heaviest piece in the Iron Vanguard range — real weight on the chain without sitting awkwardly. Stainless steel construction is hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, suited to continuous daily wear.

George's dragon-slaying imagery has been carried on banners, badges and crests for over eight hundred years — older than most national symbols still in use.

• Weight: 37.6g
