FAQs

French religious medals, often minted in Paris or regional workshops, were traditionally worn as tokens of devotion, protection, and to commemorate significant milestones such as baptisms, first communions, or confirmations.

These pieces are typically struck from high-karat gold, such as 18-carat yellow gold, utilising traditional die-stamping techniques to achieve fine relief details, often accompanied by French hallmark stamps like the eagles head.

Authenticity is determined by examining metal fineness hallmarks, makers marks, the crispness of the relief work, and the patina accumulated over decades of handling and wear.

Antique pendants can be suspended from contemporary gold chains for everyday wear, or displayed within glass-topped jewellery trays as part of a curated tabletop collection.

Gold jewellery should be cleaned gently using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and stored individually in soft pouches to prevent scratching.
