Silver rose medallions

The silver rose medallions are a number of ter'angreal made by Elayne Trakand copying the properties of Mat's foxhead medallion.
==Appearance, making and numbers ==
Each medallion has the shape of a silver rose flower, chosen by Elayne among the symbols of the Andoran monarchy. It has the same quantity of silver as the original foxhead medallion, only the shape is different. It is not clear how many copies have been made, surely more than two, one of them gifted to Birgitte.
==Use==
This kind of ter'angreal can disrupt flows of the One Power (both saidin and saidar) aimed at the bearer. When a channeler is weaving nearby each medallion become very cold at the touch.
But being not completely perfect copies from the original, they are not as strong as it, therefore very powerful weaves can somehow overwhelm the protection. Another flaw of this copies is that if the bearer is a channeler, he/she can't access to the True Source while in skin contact with the medallion. It can be guessed that Elayne can't copy fully all the properties of the original because she needs to link in a circle, with the presence of male channelers.
For some unknown reason the medallions also injure a gholam on contact, burning it as if the medallions were red-hot metal. Each medallion does not, however, affect actions of the Power which are not directly aimed at the bearer. For example, although a binding formed of Air will melt away upon touching the bearer, a stone thrown by a flow of Air will strike normally.
Another example would be lightning; once formed, however many bolts, they would follow their natural course and could strike the bearer. If a person using the One Power specifically directed a bolt at someone wearing the medallion, it would still work, as lightning is merely being directed with the Power and not a construct of it.
A side effect of this kind of medallions is that they protects dreams. This was not part of the intended purpose of making the medallion; it is a true side effect.
