FRENCH AUGIS PLUS QU'HIER RUBY LOVE MEDAL 18CT GOLD

This Augis love medal carries the enduring declaration Plus qu’hier, moins que demain, more than yesterday, less than tomorrow. A phrase that has become one of the most recognised symbols of enduring love in early 20th century French jewellery. The white gold raised plus sign and ruby set minus bar form the familiar equation, set against a finely engine turned ground and framed by a scalloped edge that catches the light beautifully.

At 1.6 cm in diameter and 2.2 grams, this is the fuller, more visually impactful scale of the design. Signed AA and struck with the French eagle head hallmark for 18ct gold, confirming its gold standard and origin.

Augis love medals remain among the most sought after pieces of early 20th century French jewellery. Highly collectable and widely coveted, they continue to hold appeal for their symbolism as much as their craftsmanship.
