Description
Round Augis Love Medal ‘more than yesterday, less than tomorrow’ in 18 karat yellow gold (750). The ‘+’ sign is highlighted in white gold, and the ‘-‘ sign is represented by two synthetic rubies. The border is adorned with a subtly twisted pattern. The medal features a quote from a letter by Rosmonde Gérard, the poetess, to her love Edmond Rostand, the author of Cyrano de Bergerac: ‘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 ‘love medals’ as ‘+ qu’hier – que demain’. The reverse of the medal bears the inscription ‘FOR LIFE’. Vintage pendant from the 1960s.
