Vintage 18ct Gold French Stamped, 1970s Plus Qu'Hier Love Token Pendant, Love Medal by Augis (“medaille d’amour”)
Antique Love Token Pendant
18ct Gold French Stamped
Circa 1970s
Makers Mark Augis
Introducing a remarkable 18ct yellow gold pendant, beautifully crafted with a unique design that embodies a heartfelt sentiment. This exquisite piece features a rebus that elegantly spells out “Plus qu’hier, moins que demain” (“More than yesterday, less than tomorrow”). This phrase, penned by the renowned poet Rosemonde Gérard for her husband, Edmond Rostand, adds a touch of romantic history to this one-of-a-kind love token.
The pendant showcases a charming detail: the word “plus” is represented by a delicate plus sign set with a single rose-cut diamond, while “moins” is symbolised by a striking minus sign adorned with rectangular synthetic rubies. This clever design merges artistry with emotion, making it a perfect gift for someone special.
Created in 1907 by the esteemed Lyonnais jeweller Alphonse Augis, this pendant represents one of the more ornate iterations of his love tokens. Featuring a textured background enclosed in a beautiful floral-like border, it exemplifies the craftsmanship of the time. The piece is fully marked with the 18K eagle’s head hallmark and Augis’ maker’s mark, affirming its authenticity and quality.
Don’t miss a chance to own this extraordinary pendant that marries love and art in a truly unique piece. Perfect for collectors or as a heartfelt gift.
The pendant measures approximately 29mm in diameter.
