This French Belle Epoque pendant takes the form of an 18 carat yellow gold circular medallion featuring a bas-relief cherub among clouds on the front face. The piece exhibits a warm yellow gold colour with a polished metallic finish, an integral suspension ring at the top, and the engraver signature F. Vernon visible at the bottom edge. The imagery depicts a smiling angel with detailed curls, wings, and outstretched hands, while the reverse holds an engraved name and date alongside French manufacture stamps and a number upon the bail. Measuring 2.2 cm high, 1.8 cm wide, and 0.2 cm deep, the medallion functions as a charm pendant to suspend from a necklace chain or wear on a bracelet in everyday attire.

FAQs

French cherub medals, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often featured relief carvings of angels and putti inspired by Classical and Renaissance iconography. These pieces were frequently commissioned as commemorative gifts, baptismal tokens, or protective talismans.

Fine French medals were typically struck or cast in 18-carat yellow gold, featuring bas-relief sculpture techniques. Medallists often signed their work directly into the die, leaving a stamped signature on the finished piece alongside official assay marks.

Authentic pieces generally feature French hallmarks, such as the eagle head stamp for 18-carat gold, along with an engraver or maker signature. The depth and precision of the bas-relief detail and natural surface wear consistent with age are also key indicators.

An antique gold pendant can be layered on a fine gold chain alongside modern minimalist necklaces for a contemporary contrast. It can also be worn individually as a focal piece or attached to a charm bracelet.

Clean gold medals gently using mild soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive polishes. Store the piece separately in a fabric-lined jewellery box to prevent surface scratches on the delicate relief work.
