What periods do these pendants cover?

The pieces span from eighteen-ninety through to nineteen-fifty, capturing late nineteenth-century styles alongside Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and mid-century French design. Most items date specifically to the early decades of the twentieth century, particularly the nineteen-tens, reflecting a prolific era for French religious jewellery production.

What imagery appears on the medals?

The central subjects include the Virgin Mary, Notre Dame of Lourdes, Saint Christopher, the Sacred Heart, and Saint Therese. These figures are typically rendered in relief against gold backgrounds or framed by enamel and pearls. Such iconography reflects the specific devotional practices and pilgrimage traditions of France during the periods represented.

How do I wear a pendant charm?

These pieces function as pendants or charms intended to be suspended from a suitable neck chain. Their construction allows them to sit flat against the wearer. Buyers often pair them with gold chains that match the eighteen-carat yellow, white, or rose gold of the individual pendant.
