NEW STYLE :: Who actually is the Patron Saint of Animals!?

Our latest collection SANTA CHIARA welcomes a collection of 5 legendary Patron Saints from well before our time... We don't hear too much about them in today's world but these Saints are kind of like the Lady Gaga of 2017, Beyonce of 2018 or Angelina Jolie of 2015?... You get my drift.

We wanted to share with you a little more on why these guys rock and, why they are part of our new SANTA CHIARA collection. Today, we shed a little light on the legend St. Francis of Assisi who is the patron saint of animals & environment (Well well well, 2 of our favourite things eh, must have been quite the guy!) 

After a wild youth and a short stint as a soldier, St Francis gave up his family’s wealth and decided to dedicate his life to poverty, humility, obedience, patience, and compassion. St. Francis cared for the poor and sick, he spoke to the animals, and treated all creatures as brothers and sisters – sounds like our kinda guy! 

Today, over 3 million people each and every year make a pilgrimage to the tomb of St. Francis in Italy, proving that he is indeed one of the most popular and beloved saints of all time (Dur, Animals & the Environment…, he’s kind of our favourite too). Wear our St Assisi Pendant made entirely from recycled Sterling Silver (Yep, Assisi would be proud of our dedication to keep the environment clean) and match it with one of our other necklaces that are designed to layer with their different chain lengths.
