FAQs

French religious medals gained widespread popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries, created by renowned engravers and medallic artists. These pieces were commissioned to commemorate sacraments, express devotion, or offer spiritual protection.

High-grade French devotional medals were typically cast or struck in 18-carat yellow gold, silver, or bronze. Gold medals often featured die-struck details creating low-relief sculptural figures with textured or polished finishes.

Authentic French gold items bear official French hallmark stamps, such as the eagles head for 18-carat gold, along with makers marks. Many high-quality medals also feature the signature of the engraver integrated into the relief design.

Antique gold medals are commonly layered on fine gold chains of varying lengths alongside contemporary charms or worn individually as a focal pendant for everyday or formal attire.

Clean high-carat gold medals using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled toothbrush to clear dust from intricate reliefs. Avoid abrasive chemicals and store the medal in a lined jewellery box to prevent surface scratching.
