About the Item

This rare and monumental vintage French "Médaille d’Amour" by the iconic House of Augis is a profound piece of jewelry history, standing out with its impressive 27mm diameter. Crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, this "Grand Modèle" masterpiece features the evocative "Plus qu’hier moins que demain" sentiment. The "plus" sign is brilliantly pavé-set with five round diamonds, while the "minus" sign is composed of three vibrant calibré-cut rubies. The front is signed "A.A" and marked "Déposé" on the reverse, confirming its status as an original, protected design. This particular medal carries the soul of its past; the deep scratches on the reverse and a historic repair to the bail attachment tell a story of a life truly lived and a heart deeply moved. More than just a jewel, it is a poignant, oversized talisman of enduring affection, perfect for a collector who appreciates the beauty of an authentic vintage patina and the unique character that only time can bestow. Every piece in our boutique has a story and may show gentle signs of wear that add to its life and charm. Each jewel is carefully selected, authenticated, and only lightly cleaned to preserve its original patina and character. We hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
