8 Vintage One-of-a-Kind Medallions
During her trip to Paris last year, Sarah wandered the city’s vintage markets and brought home 8 rare French love tokens. Each unique medallion, distinct in its one-of-a-kind design, has been handcrafted by the famous jeweler Alphonse Augis in the early to mid 1900s.
Qu’hier Que Demain
The meaning behind the medallion
French jeweler, Alphonse Augis, immortalized the phrase plus qu'hier, moins que demain, which originated from a famous love poem from Rosemonde Gérard to her husband, the writer Edmond Rostand: For, you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Forevermore, these French love charms have been widely cherished as tokens of love for over a century.
Anatomy of a French Love Token
Every classic charm features an iconic border, a dazzling gemstone and the famous phrase, yet each medallion is unique in its character, making it a truly rare symbol of eternal love.
