FAQs

French religious medals, particularly those depicting the Virgin Mary, have centuries-old traditions rooted in Catholic devotion, often minted to commemorate sacred events or worn as protective talismans.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from high-karat yellow gold such as 18-carat, utilising techniques like die-stamping, hand-finishing, and delicate relief sculpting to create dimensional portraits.

Authenticity is typically verified through official hallmarks such as French eagle head stamps denoting 18k gold, makers marks, and natural age-related patina on the metal surface.

Antique pendants can be worn suspended from a simple modern chain as a standalone statement piece or layered with other gold necklaces for an eclectic, textured look.

Preserve antique gold by storing it in a soft-lined jewellery box away from harsh chemicals, and clean it gently using a microfibre cloth and lukewarm soapy water when necessary.
