FAQs

Devotional medals gained widespread popularity in France during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as tokens of faith, baptismal gifts, and personal protective talismans. French jewellers crafted these pieces featuring Catholic iconography such as the Madonna and Child or patron saints.

High-carat yellow gold, typically 18ct, was commonly utilised for fine devotional jewellery in France, along with silver and bronze for everyday pieces. Gold medals were often struck using steel dies to achieve high-detail bas-relief depictions.

Authentic French pieces feature specific hallmarks, such as the eagles head mark for 18ct gold, stamped on the loop or edge. Additionally, antique items exhibit characteristic surface wear, die-cast relief depth, and classic period engraving signatures.

An antique gold medallion can be worn as a standalone statement piece on a simple gold chain or layered alongside contemporary necklaces of varying lengths and textures to create a personal jewellery look.

Clean gently using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove accumulated dirt without scratching the metal surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, and store the piece separately in a soft cloth pouch to prevent abrasions.
