Saint Florian was an officer of the Roman army who suffered death for the Faith in the days of Diocletian. His legendary acts state that he gave himself up when the government was rounding up Christians, and after making a bold confession, he was twice scourged, flayed, set on fire, and finally thrown into the river. His body was recovered by a pious woman. Since that time, he has been regarded as the Patron Saint of Fireman. Many miracles of healing are attributed to his intercession and he is invoked as powerful protector in danger from fire or water. Sterling Silver All our Sterling Silver is made of pure 925 Sterling Silver metal. Sterling silver is an alloy made from 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent alloy. The alloys can include zinc, copper or nickel. The reason for the alloy mixture is because pure sterling silver is soft. The alloys make the sterling silver metal more durable. All our sterling silver jewelry is stamped with "sterling", "STER", or ".925" to indicates the item is sterling silver. We have all our sterling silver jewelry protected against tarnishing. Our finishes include satin, antiqued, enamel and polished finishes. Due to the high contents of Sterling Silver in many of our items, there is the possibility that the pendant may tarnish anyways, due to an allergic reaction with your skin. This is a common problem and there have been no reported health affects.  To clean tarnished .925 sterling silver jewelry, simply place about 1 tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl along with a quart to 1/2 cup of hot water. Then, place the tarnished jewelry in the bowl mixture, and let set for no longer than a 1/2 hour. Then polish/buff with a soft cloth. Another option is to use a pink eraser, and rub gently to remove the tarnish. Necklace Fit Below are how the various necklaces lengths rests on your neck.
