FAQs

Saint Christopher is traditionally venerated as the patron saint of travellers. Medals and charms bearing his image were frequently worn or carried as talismans to ensure safe journeys, a practice that gained widespread popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Authentic French antique pendants from this era are typically crafted from 18-carat yellow gold and often feature small national control marks, such as the eagles head stamp, denoting the purity and origin of the precious metal.

Authenticity is determined by examining the craftsmanship, including the crispness of the relief engraving, the presence of period-correct hallmarks, and signs of genuine age-related wear such as micro-scratches and softer edges on the high relief.

An antique charm can be suspended from a modern chain of varying weight to create a layered look, or worn individually as a focal point against minimalist garments to highlight its historical texture and sculptural design.

Antique gold should be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to remove accumulated oils. Harsh chemical dips and ultrasonic cleaners should be avoided to protect any delicate detailing or original patina.
