This French antique 1910 charm pendant is crafted from 18-carat yellow gold and mother-of-pearl, featuring a carved profile of the Virgin Mary. The oval medal is encircled by a royal blue enamelled border set with gold star motifs and framed by an outer gold edge, complemented by an articulated suspension loop at the top. Condition details include small chips to the blue enamel and one missing star motif, alongside an official eagle stamp denoting French manufacture and 18-carat gold content. The piece measures 2.2 cm high, 1.5 cm wide, and 0.2 cm deep, excluding the jump ring. Suitable for personal adornment, the pendant attaches easily to a standard chain for daily wear as a necklace or addition to a charm bracelet. The religious imagery and classic French antique style suit collectors of devotional jewellery or those seeking a delicate vintage accessory with traditional motifs. The timeless design integrates naturally into modern wardrobes, offering a subtle historic accent.

FAQs

French religious pendants and medallions were traditionally produced during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as devotional keepsakes, frequently presented to commemorate sacraments such as baptisms and confirmations.

Craftsmen commonly combined high-karat yellow gold with carved mother-of-pearl elements and vitreous guilloche enamel to create contrasting textures and resilient colour borders.

Authentic French gold pieces typically display official hallmarks, such as the eagles head stamp indicating 18-carat gold purity, along with signs of hand-applied enamel work.

Medallion pendants can be worn individually on a simple fine chain for a minimal aesthetic or layered alongside gold necklaces of varying lengths and textures.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth without chemical cleansers, avoid contact with perfumes or liquids, and store the piece separately to prevent surface scratches.
