Bliss

Die-struck medals start as sheets of metal from which blanks are stamped into particular sizes and shapes. Each blank is struck with a die, much like a coin, and then trimmed. Each medal is then hand polished, hand engraved with "bright-cuts," and then lacquer-sprayed for durability.

Bliss is famous for its traditional religious die-struck jewelry in sterling silver, gold-filled, and 14 karat gold, offering an amazing variety of medals, crosses, crucifixes and neck chains. Bliss also manufactures visor clips, key chains, wall crosses, rosaries, and rosary bracelets. In addition to Miraculous medals and popular saints, such as St. Jude, St. Joseph, St. Michael and St. Christopher, you will find lesser known patron saints as well as four-way, five-way, and scapular medals.

I recently have had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the Bliss Company, Mr. Frank Bliss, and his associate, Steve. After meeting with these gentlemen, whose love of their work could not be more obvious, and learning more about the Bliss manufacturing process, I couldn't be more impressed with their integrity and their products, all 6,000 choices!
