<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 4307218, member: 36&quot;]It may have been sold like that.&nbsp; Back in the 1950s Catholic religious jewelry wasn&#039;t favored and there was still some prejudice against Catholics. (see Kennedy election)&nbsp; They used to tag little medals like this onto random pieces of costume jewelry so it wouldn&#039;t be too obvious that one was wearing a religious medal.&nbsp; Later on it was no big deal and the medals got bigger and were worn on their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
