A handmade St. Michael medal engineered for those who carry weight every day — physically, mentally, spiritually.
CLAIM YOUR MEDALThey're thin. Mass-produced. Stamped out by the thousands in anonymous factories. They tarnish, scratch, bend — and eventually get tossed in a drawer.
That's fine for a keepsake. But you don't carry a keepsake into a burning building. You don't clip one to your vest before a night shift. You don't hand one to your spouse before deployment and expect it to survive.
The St. Michael Medal from Deus Ex Labs is a symbol of protection engineered to survive the life you actually live. Dog tag form factor. High-relief depiction of St. Michael in combat. Radiant background geometry that commands presence.
Every medal is individually vacuum cast and hand finished by a husband-and-wife team right here in Columbus, Ohio. No outsourcing. No shortcuts. No anonymous factories.
This is not a delicate religious piece. It's built with the same mindset as the people who wear it.
Two options. One standard of craft.
Each medal is individually cast — not stamped from a sheet. The result is denser, heavier, and more substantial than anything mass-produced.
Every surface is refined by hand. No two medals are perfectly identical — because craft doesn't work that way.
A familiar, utilitarian shape built to be carried daily. Clean border with top hole adapts to any chain or carry style.
Dynamic, aggressive depiction of St. Michael — not a flat stamped outline. Dimensional detail you can feel.
Background pattern evokes authority and divine presence. Intentional design language, not decoration.
Produced in limited runs by two people who care. When they're gone, they're gone — until the next batch.
"I clip it to my vest before every shift. It's the one thing I carry that isn't issued — it's chosen."
"Gave one to my husband before his third deployment. He brought it back every time. It's heavier than you'd expect — that matters."
"Most medals I've owned fell apart or tarnished. This one still looks sharp after months of daily carry. Real silver, real craft."
Elysium Silver is a proprietary alloy at approximately 94% silver. It's engineered for tarnish resistance and increased hardness — so it stays bright and resists scratches without plating or coatings. Silver, reimagined for people who actually use their gear.
Each medal is individually vacuum cast and hand finished in small batches by a husband-and-wife team in Columbus, Ohio. No outsourcing, no anonymous factories. Just craft, engineering, and intent.
If you need a medal that survives daily hard use — shifts, deployments, elements — choose Elysium Silver. If you want the same design and craftsmanship at a lower price point with a classic silver look, Sterling Silver is the move.
The medal features a clean top hole designed to fit any chain, cord, or carry system you prefer. It adapts to your style — not the other way around.
Because each medal is produced in small batches and hand finished, lead times vary. Current turnaround is listed on the order page. Quality takes time — we don't rush craft.
Handmade. Engineered. Worn with purpose.
