This French charm pendant originates from 1910 in the Art Deco style, constructed from 18K yellow gold and white mother-of-pearl. The piece takes an octagonal shape, incorporating a textured bail at the top, a stepped gold border surrounding the central plaque, and fine engraved details showing the figure of Saint Therese holding flowers within a radiant halo. Hallmarks include a French eagle stamp for 18 karat gold and a partial maker's mark. The pendant measures 2.6 cm high by 1.5 cm wide and 0.1 cm deep, excluding the suspension ring. Items of this scale serve as personal jewellery, worn suspended from a neck chain for daily personal adornment. The gold finish provides a warm yellow metallic contrast against the iridescent white mother-of-pearl carved face. Maintenance requires careful handling to preserve the delicate surface engraving and precious metal setting.

FAQs

Saint Therese of Lisieux, canonised in 1925, became immensely popular throughout France and Europe, prompting skilled jewelers to craft devotional medals in her honour during the Art Deco era.

High-grade French gold, such as 18 carat yellow gold, was frequently paired with carved mother-of-pearl, mother-of-pearl shell, or enamel to create luminous relief portraits.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved relief detailing showing natural iridescent variations in the shell, paired with period-appropriate gold hallmarks and geometric Art Deco metalwork.

When not worn, small devotional jewellery can be displayed mounted inside a velvet-lined shadow box or resting atop a brass glass trinket tray on a dressing table.

Wipe gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents, steam, or water immersion, as organic mother-of-pearl is susceptible to damage from harsh substances.
