About the Item

A refined and deeply symbolic antique medal crafted in 18K yellow gold, engraved with a beautifully detailed religious scene — a perfect reflection of early- to mid-20th-century French sacred artistry. The front of this oval pendant depicts a serene and contemplative composition, meticulously hand-engraved with remarkable precision. The lines are fluid and expressive, capturing the grace and devotion typical of French religious jewelry from this period. The surface gleams with a subtle mirror polish that enhances the soft radiance of the gold, while the fine engraving plays with light and shadow to reveal the craftsman’s exceptional skill. surrounded by an engraved floral garland and a descending dove, the eternal Christian symbol of peace and divine protection. The design, both elegant and touching, evokes the spiritual significance and emotional depth often found in traditional baptism or communion medals. This piece was most likely commissioned as a special gift to commemorate a sacrament or a milestone in faith — and has been carefully preserved ever since. Its craftsmanship, combined with the discreet elegance of its form, make it a truly timeless jewel. A rare find for collectors of fine antique jewelry, or a meaningful heirloom to offer on a special religious occasion.
