Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Cherub and angel medals originated as devotional objects during the Renaissance and gained widespread popularity in French religious jewellery during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These medals often drew artistic inspiration from classical masters such as Raphael.

Antique gold medals were traditionally die-struck using heavy iron dies to create detailed, high-relief artwork in solid 18ct gold. This technique produced crisp detail and high durability compared to modern cast alternatives.

Authentic French gold items typically bear official state guarantee hallmarks, such as the Eagles Head stamp for 18ct gold, located on the bail or outer rim. Makers marks from renowned medallists or jewellers are often struck directly into the relief or border.

An antique gold medal can be worn suspended from a delicate modern gold chain or layered alongside fine contemporary necklaces. It also functions as an accent charm attached to a link bracelet.

Clean gold medals gently using warm water, mild soapy solution, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from detailed relief work. Store the piece individually in a lined jewellery box to prevent surface scratches from other metal items.
