Medium-sized Augis Love medal in 18 karat yellow gold. Circular love medal pendant, with the “+” sign in raised white gold and the “-” sign set with two calibrated synthetic rubies. The medal is encircled by a stylized ribbon. The pendant bears a quote from a letter by poetess Rosmonde Gérard to her love, Edmond Rostand, the author of Cyrano de Bergerac: “Car, vois-tu, chaque jour je t’aime davantage, Aujourd’hui plus qu’hier et bien moins que demain” (“For, you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow”). Inspired by these two lovers, Alphonse Augis condensed these lines into his “Plus qu’hier moins que demain” love medals. Vintage love medal, circa 1960, by Augis.
