Famous french pendant from Maison Augis, in 750/1000 yellow gold. This antique love medal is round in shape, it bears the following engraved message "+ qu'hier - que demain", meaning "+ than yesterday - than tomorrow" on a matte gold background and encircled by smooth gold. An 8/8 cut diamond is set in the cross and a line of calibrated synthetic rubies in the acronym '" - ", the back has a sandblasted effect.
French work around 1950.

It was in 1907 that the famous jeweler Alphonse Augis was inspired by a quote from a letter from the poetess Rosemonde Gérard, to her love Edmond Rostand, the author of Cyrano de Bergerac: "every day I love you more, today more than yesterday and much less than tomorrow”. Thus Alphonse Augis took these few lines and shortened them to engrave them in gold and make these famous "Medals of Love". These medals were a huge success throughout the world and are still very popular today.
