Description
Augis heart Love medal in 18 karat yellow gold (750). The pendant takes the form of a heart with radiating decoration. The “+” sign is in raised white gold, while the “-” sign is set with three calibrated synthetic rubies. The medal features 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”. French pendant, circa 1970.
