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

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, French medallic artists elevated devotional medals into sculptural art objects. Master engravers created low-relief portraits inspired by Art Nouveau aesthetics, struck predominantly in precious metals for use as personal pendants.

French religious medals were commonly struck in 18k yellow gold, silver, or bronze. High-carat gold was selected for its durability and resistance to tarnish, preserving the intricate surface details of the die-struck profile over time.

Authentic French gold medals typically bear official French hallmark stamps, such as an eagle head mark denoting 18k gold, usually placed on the suspension ring or rim. Authentic artist-designed pieces also feature the makers signature struck directly into the relief design.

An antique gold medallion can be suspended from a simple gold chain or integrated into a charm bracelet. The low-relief profile and circular shape allow it to layer seamlessly alongside contemporary neckwear.

Clean gold jewellery using warm water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth to gently lift dirt from the relief design. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, and store the item in a fabric-lined pouch to protect the surface from scratches.
