Gold Scapular Pendant: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

A gold scapular pendant is a Catholic devotional piece consisting of two small medal-like discs (often depicting Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Sacred Heart) connected by a chain or cord, traditionally worn as a sign of devotion. Gold versions recreate this in solid gold rather than cloth.

At resale, only the gold weight and purity determine cash value across both medal discs.
