This French religious charm pendant dates from the 1900 period and is fashioned from 18ct yellow gold with a warm golden hue. The circular medal displays a low relief profile portrait of young Saint John in profile, surrounded by a faint halo detail and raised text reading SAINT JEAN, accompanied by a small bail loop at the top for suspension. The surface shows fine scratches and texture across the matte field, alongside a tiny signature mark visible near the lower rim and the maker's stamp. Measuring 2.4 cm high by 2 cm wide by 0.2 cm deep, the piece contains a small suspension loop attached via an oval jump ring. Homeowners today can wear this religious pendant on a personal chain necklace as a traditional item of personal jewellery.

FAQs

Religious medals depicting Saint John the Baptist have traditionally been given as devotional tokens, baptismal gifts, or personal talismans across Europe, particularly in France.

Authentic antique French medals were frequently cast or die-struck in solid 18ct yellow gold, silver, or bronze, often featuring maker signatures and official hallmark stamps on the loop or rim.

Look for French purity hallmarks such as the eagles head stamp for 18ct gold, alongside engraver or maker signatures near the outer edge of the relief design.

These pieces are commonly worn layered on contemporary gold chains, added to charm bracelets, or collected as historical miniature works of metal art.

Clean gold pendants gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve fine surface details.
