About the Item

Beautiful 18k yellow gold Virgin Mary pendant designed by Émile Dropsy, one of the most respected French medallists of the early 20th century. The obverse features a serene profile of the Virgin finely sculpted in relief, bearing Dropsy’s signature at the lower right. Surrounding the central portrait is an ornate openwork frame with alternating polished and textured rays, giving the piece an elegant and radiant presence. Measuring 2.6 cm across and 3.7 cm total length with the bail, and weighing 5.46 g, this is a high-quality French devotional jewel showcasing refined craftsmanship and unmistakable Belle-Époque influence. A collectible and timeless medal. Every piece in our boutique has a story and may show gentle signs of wear that add to its life and charm. Each jewel is carefully selected, authenticated, and only lightly cleaned to preserve its original patina and character. We hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
