FAQs

Saint Christopher is traditionally venerated as the patron saint of travellers. Medallions featuring his likeness became especially popular in France during the 19th and 20th centuries as protective amulets for journeys.

Authentic French religious medallions from the period are frequently struck in 18-carat yellow gold, often bearing traditional French hallmarks such as the eagles head to denote gold fineness.

Authenticity is verified by examining minute makers marks, known as master stamps, alongside official state assay hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal surface or suspension rings.

These historical pieces are often worn suspended from delicate or robust gold chains, either layered with other contemporary necklaces or worn singly as a focal statement piece.

Antique gold should be cleaned using warm water, mild soap, and a very soft brush to preserve the original patina, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage historical finishes.
