Originating from the 1910 period, this French Art Nouveau pendant is formed of 18K yellow gold with a polished finish and a rich gold colour. The oval medal displays a relief profile of Saint Therese in a habit holding a crucifix and roses, surrounded by a Latin inscription along the upper edge and a signature on the lower right side. Above the medal sits a cluster of decorative roses, topped by a rounded jump ring attached to a vertical suspension loop. The piece measures 2.3 cm high by 1.4 cm wide and 0.1 cm deep, excluding the jump ring. Suitable for everyday wear, the pendant hangs from a chain around the neck as personal jewellery or adds religious detail to a charm bracelet. The warm yellow gold tone coordinates easily with other fine jewellery pieces in daily collections.

FAQs

Devotional medals gained widespread popularity in France during the 19th and early 20th centuries, created by skilled sculptors and engravers known as medallists. These pieces were commissioned to commemorate saints, sacraments, and religious devotions, often signed by the artisan.

High-grade yellow gold, such as 18-carat gold, was frequently chosen for fine religious medals due to its tarnish resistance and workability, allowing detailed die-struck relief work and engraving.

Authentic pieces feature French hallmarks, such as the eagles head stamp for 18-carat gold, along with an engravers signature engraved directly into the design field.

Small antique medals can be displayed within glass cloches, arranged in velvet-lined shadow boxes, or incorporated into decorative vanity tray displays alongside vintage trinkets.

Clean gently using warm water with mild soap and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes or chemical cleaners that might soften fine relief details.
