This Augis love medal carries that declaration in the most direct way possible. The raised plus and horizontal bar sit against a finely engine turned ground, with Qu'hier and Que Demain lettered clearly across the surface in balanced straight lines. Nothing fussy. Made to be read at a glance and understood without explanation.
Augis love medals are among the most collectable pieces of early 20th century French jewellery, valued for their romantic symbolism and their place within French design history. The phrase itself has never dated and never will.
At 4 grams this has real substance. Not a tiny charm to disappear on a delicate chain — it works exactly as it should on an Albert clasp on a heavier antique chain, where the symbolism sits front and centre and anchors a stack with meaning rather than decoration.
The reverse is plain and unengraved, exactly as it would have been when first given, leaving space if its next chapter calls for it.
