This French antique medal pendant dates to 1910 and is made from 18K yellow gold. The circular piece depicts a profile of the Virgin Mary with a halo, set against a scalloped background featuring stylised wing motifs and an engraved suspension loop. The reverse bears an engraved MJ monogram alongside the eagle's head stamp denoting French manufacture and 18 karat gold content. Measuring 2.2 cm high, 1.9 cm wide and 0.1 cm deep, this pendant functions as a wearable religious jewellery item. It is suspended from a jump ring and suits personal wear on a chain as a devotional accessory or addition to an existing collection of fine antique charms.

FAQs

French religious medals gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as personal devotional tokens, often crafted to commemorate sacraments or depict sacred figures such as the Virgin Mary.

These medals were typically die-struck from high-purity yellow gold, such as 18-carat gold, creating detailed bas-relief portraits with textured surrounds and integrated suspension loops for chains.

Authentic French pieces feature official hallmark stamps, such as the eagles head mark for 18-carat gold, struck onto the loop or rim, alongside makers marks or artist signatures.

A gold devotional pendant can be worn independently on a fine chain for a minimalist look or layered with contemporary gold necklaces of varying lengths.

Clean gold jewellery gently using warm water and a mild soap solution with a soft-bristle brush, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths to preserve delicate relief details.
