This vintage Augis pendant, crafted in 18ct gold with a distinctive rectangular shape and rounded corners, is a timeless symbol of enduring love. Weighing 1.24g and measuring 15mm x 11mm (excluding the bail), this delicate piece dates to circa 1955-1960, showcasing Augis' mid-century craftsmanship.
The pendant features the iconic "Qu'hier Que Demain" inscription, inspired by Rosemonde Gérard’s romantic 19th-century poem. A polished white gold cross sits above the lettering, symbolizing the "minus" (-), while a synthetic ruby bar represents the "plus" (+), signifying love that grows stronger with time. The radiating sunburst background adds texture and depth, enhancing the elegance of this meaningful design.
The bail, measuring 6mm x 2.5mm, is hallmarked with the French eagle's head, certifying its 18ct gold purity, alongside the Augis maker’s mark. These marks authenticate its origin and quality, making it a treasured collector’s piece.
A beautiful and sentimental token of love, this vintage Augis pendant is a perfect addition to any fine jewellery collection, carrying both historical charm and heartfelt symbolism.
