FAQs

Religious medallions, particularly those depicting the Virgin Mary, have centuries-old traditions in Catholic European cultures, often worn as tokens of faith, protection, and devotion.

Authentic pieces are typically crafted from 18-carat or 9-carat gold, utilizing traditional methods such as stamping, hand-engraving, and bezel or milled border setting.

Authenticity is determined by examining metal hallmarks, makers marks or punch stamps, the wear patterns on the gold surface, and the specific style of artistic rendering characteristic of the period.

An antique pendant can be worn layered with contemporary minimalist chains on a simple silk blouse or displayed within a curio cabinet as a collectible artefact.

Clean the piece gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and store it separately in a lined jewellery box to prevent scratching.
