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.

FAQs

French religious pendants crafted during the late 19th and early 20th centuries frequently combined devotional iconography with fine jewellery techniques, including enamel backdrops and bas-relief gold carving.

These pieces typically utilised 18-carat yellow gold, natural seed pearls, and vitreous enamel techniques such as champleve or cloisonne to create detailed backgrounds around central sculpted figures.

Authentic French gold items feature official hallmarking stamps, such as the eagles head for 18-carat gold, alongside makers marks or artist signatures engraved into the metal.

An antique medallion can be worn as a standalone focal piece on a fine gold chain or layered alongside modern minimal necklaces for an eclectic look.

Store the pendant separately in a soft-lined box, avoid exposure to chemicals and moisture, and clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth without immersing the delicate seed pearls in water.
