This French Art Nouveau pendant from 1900 takes the form of a circular 18K yellow gold medal. The polished yellow gold object has a warm metallic sheen and carries an embossed relief profile portrait of Saint Joan of Arc in armour with hands clasped in prayer, framed by embossed lettering and a circular suspension bail at the top. The surface displays crisp detailing in the depiction of the saint's hair and chainmail collar, alongside subtle textural striations radiating outwards from the portrait. Measuring 2.1 cm high, 1.8 cm wide, and 0.2 cm deep, the miniature piece is designed for personal adornment on a necklace chain. It suits contemporary jewellery collections and integrates easily into everyday wear or special occasion attire as a wearable antique talisman.

FAQs

French religious medals gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as personal devotional tokens. Prominent French medallic artists created detailed relief sculptures depicting saints, biblical events, and religious icons, which were struck in precious metals for daily wear.

These medallions were typically die-struck in 18-carat yellow gold to achieve crisp relief details and high durability. The process involves pressing solid gold blanks into engraved steel dies, followed by hand-finishing and the attachment of a gold suspension bail.

Authentic pieces feature French hallmarking, such as the eagle head stamp designating 18-carat gold, along with an engraver signature like Vernon integrated into the cast design. The relief work displays sharp detail, heavy feel for its size, and precise lettering.

A gold devotional medal can be worn suspended from a fine gold chain as a primary neckpiece or layered with other fine pendants. Alternatively, collectors display such items inside velvet-lined jewellery cases or small antique display frames.

Clean 18-carat gold gently using warm water mixed with a few drops of mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid abrasive polishing compounds or chemical dips that could wear down delicate engraved details or alter the original surface patina.
