FAQs

Oscar Roty was a celebrated French medallist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his intricate art nouveau style and devotional coin designs.

These pieces are typically struck from high-purity gold, such as 22-carat yellow gold, and frequently feature French eagle head or boars head assay hallmarks.

Authentic pieces bear the signature or initials of the artist Oscar Roty, correct period assay marks, and exhibit the fine high-relief casting characteristic of late 19th-century French minting.

A pendant of this scale can be suspended from a simple trace chain for minimalist daily wear or layered with other antique gold chains for a more curated aesthetic.

High-purity gold is relatively soft and prone to scratching; clean it gently with warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush, storing it separately in a lined jewellery box.
