FAQs

Saint Christopher medals have traditionally been worn as amulets for protection, particularly by travellers, motorists, and sailors, gaining widespread popularity in French jewellery during the early to mid-20th century.

Authentic pieces from this period are typically crafted from 18-carat yellow gold and often feature French assay marks, such as the eagles head, indicating standard precious metal purity.

Verification involves examining the crispness of the relief work, checking for official French precious metal hallmarks, and evaluating the patina and wear consistent with age.

This piece can be suspended from a simple fine-link gold chain to allow the detailed medallion to serve as a focal point, pairing well with both casual and formal attire.

Maintenance requires cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and storing the item separately in a lined jewellery box to prevent scratching.
