Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

This French mid-century pendant takes the form of a circular 18-karat yellow gold charm medal measuring 2.3 cm high, 2.1 cm wide, and 0.1 cm deep. The front surface displays relief lettering reading GROUPE SANGUIN across the upper arch, a central emblem of a hand holding a bottle against a sunburst pattern, and a banner at the base bearing the letters RH with space for engraving. The piece has a polished and textured finish in yellow gold with subtle bi-colour accents on the bottle emblem, a raised circular border, and a suspension loop with hallmarking at the top. The reverse side remains plain, and the object shows minor surface wear consistent with age. As a wearable jewellery item, this pendant attaches to a chain and suits daily personal adornment as a distinctive historical accessory or medical identification piece. Its compact scale allows it to sit comfortably against the neckline, functioning as a conversation-starting addition to any contemporary jewellery collection. The timeless circular geometry and symbolic design integrate easily into modern wardrobes while retaining its mid-century French character.

FAQs

A French blood group pendant, or medal, is a vintage medical identification piece crafted to display the wearers blood type (groupe sanguin) and Rh factor for emergency situations.

These pieces were typically forged in solid precious metals, primarily 18ct yellow gold or silver, ensuring durability for daily wear alongside clear hallmark stampings.

Authentic pieces feature official French assay marks, such as the eagles head hallmark for 18ct gold, along with period-appropriate raised relief lettering and medical iconography.

These historical pendants are commonly styled layered on a fine gold chain necklet or attached to a charm bracelet alongside other vintage collectables.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush to clear dust from raised details, followed by polishing with a lint-free jewellery cloth.
