About the Item

A timeless expression of enduring affection, this 14k gold pendant (circa 1980) features the romantic French inscription “Qu’Hier Que Demain”, flanked by a plus and minus symbol. Translated, it reads: “More than yesterday, less than tomorrow.” This tender phrase was inspired by a beloved line from the 19th-century French love poem by Rosemonde Gérard: “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.” Popularized in the mid-20th century as a symbol of devotion, this poetic declaration has since been rendered in fine jewelry as a cherished love token, often gifted to mark milestones in romance, marriage, or meaningful personal connections. Crafted in solid 14k gold, the pendant measures approximately 1.1 inches from the top of the jump ring to the bottom and 0.8 inches wide, with a weight of 3.4 grams. It remains in excellent condition, with a clean, polished surface and crisp lettering. Both minimal and deeply sentimental, this piece is ideal for layering with other personal charms or worn alone as a daily reminder of love’s growth over time—a meaningful treasure for romantics and collectors of symbolic fine jewelry alike. The metal content of this pendant was verified via XRF and with jeweler's acids. Materials: Enamel; 14k gold.
