This jewel has already gone to its new home
Augis medium love medal in 18 karat yellow gold (750 thousandths). Medium-sized circular love medal pendant, the “+” sign is set with an old-cut diamond and the “-” sign is set with two calibrated synthetic rubies. The medal is surrounded by a smooth rim. The background is decorated with radiating striations, highlighting the words “+ qu'hier - que demain”. The pendant refers to a quotation from a letter from Rosmonde Gérard, the poetess, to her love Edmond Rostand, the author of Cyrano de Bergerac: “For, you see, every day I love you more, Today more than yesterday and much less than tomorrow”. Inspired by these two lovers, Alphonse Augis used these verses in his “médailles d'amour”, condensing them into “+ qu'hier - que demain”. Vintage Médaille d'Amour by Augis, circa 1960, France.
