FAQs

French love tokens and medals became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as symbolic gifts of affection. Sculptors and engravers designed detailed relief scenes depicting sentiment, romance, and poetry directly onto precious metal discs.

Authentic French medals from this era were primarily struck in 18-carat yellow gold or silver. High-pressure die-stamping techniques allowed engravers to achieve fine detail and low-relief figurative designs on durable precious metals.

Authentic pieces feature French state hallmarking, such as the eagles head punch mark for 18-carat gold, alongside specific makers marks or signatures of recognized engravers usually located on the face of the medal.

A vintage gold medallion can be suspended from a fine gold chain to serve as a standalone focal piece, or layered alongside modern gold necklets and lockets for a textured jewelry look.

Clean 18-carat gold gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or fine brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could wear down delicate embossed details, and store the piece in a soft pouch.
