FAQs

French devotional medals gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as tokens of personal faith and protection. Typically produced in gold or silver, these struck pieces featured motifs such as the Sacred Heart, the Virgin Mary, and patron saints.

Devotional medals were usually struck from solid yellow gold or silver using die-engraving techniques to produce detailed raised reliefs. French pieces were commonly crafted in 18-carat gold and stamped with official purity hallmarks.

Authentic French pieces feature standard gold hallmarks, such as the Eagles Head mark indicating 18-carat gold, along with an artisans makers mark within a lozenge frame. The detailed relief carving and die-struck crispness also help distinguish period items from modern cast reproductions.

While primarily worn as personal jewellery on a chain, small gold medals can also be displayed in shadow boxes, mounted on velvet boards inside antique frames, or added to charm bracelets.

Clean 18ct gold jewellery using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or brush to remove surface oils. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect delicate surface engraving and natural patina.
