FAQs

French religious medals gained widespread popularity during the 19th century as tokens of devotion, protection, and pilgrimage, often crafted in regional workshops using traditional stamping and engraving techniques.

Authentic antique French gold items are commonly crafted from 18-carat yellow gold and frequently feature traditional French hallmarks, such as the eagles head denoting standard 18K purity.

Authenticity is determined by examining metal purity hallmarks, the crispness of the relief engraving, natural surface wear consistent with age, and the construction of the suspension loop.

Antique pendants can be worn suspended from a simple modern chain as a focal piece or layered alongside contemporary fine jewellery to create a personal, eclectic look.

Preserve antique gold items by cleaning them gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and storing them individually in lined boxes to prevent surface scratching.
