18ct Gold French 1970s Plus Qu'Hier Love Token Pendant, Love Medal by A Augis
About the Item
Antique Love Token Pendant
18ct Gold French Hallmarked
Circa 1970s
Makers A Augis
Introducing a remarkable 18K yellow gold pendant, beautifully crafted with a unique design that embodies a heartfelt sentiment. This exquisite piece features a rebus that elegantly spells out “Plus qu’hier, moins que demain” (“More than yesterday, less than tomorrow”). This phrase, penned by the renowned poet Rosemonde Gérard for her husband, Edmond Rostand, adds a touch of romantic history to this one-of-a-kind love token.
The pendant showcases a charming detail: the word “plus” is represented by a delicate plus sign set with a single rose-cut diamond, while “moins” is symbolised by a striking minus sign adorned with rectangular synthetic rubies. This clever design merges artistry with emotion, making it a perfect gift for someone special.
Created in 1907 by the esteemed Lyonnais jeweller Alphonse Augis, this pendant represents one of the more ornate iterations of his love tokens. Featuring a textured background enclosed in a beautiful floral-like border, it exemplifies the craftsmanship of the time. The piece is fully marked with the 18K eagle’s head hallmark and Augis’ maker’s mark, affirming its authenticity and quality.
Don’t miss a chance to own this extraordinary pendant that marries love and art in a truly unique piece. Perfect for collectors or as a heartfelt gift.
The pendant measures approximately 29mm in diameter.

Augis Qu Hier Que Demain Love Medal Pendant Love Token 18ct Gold
By A. Augis
Located in Mārupe, LV
Augis "Love Medal", "Médaille d'Amour" 18 ct gold pendant. The phrase "+ Qu'hier - Que Demain" is beautifully engraved on this pendant, bringing the message of Love.
Let You to know some history behind.
The Love Medal was born in 1907, in the Lyon workshops of the A.Augis House. Its creator Alphonse Augis, grandson of the founder of the House, then had the idea of transcribing the verses of a famous poem by Mrs. Rosemonde Rostand entitled "The Old Ones" dating from 1889, a true declaration of love to her husband Edmond Rostand.
"Because you see every day I love you more, today more than yesterday and much less than tomorrow." The drawing varies, but usually includes a quote from a poem with "more than" and "less than" represented by plus and minus signs, often decorated with precious stones, traditionally rubies.
This pendant in diferent styles was produced starting from 1900 and this particular one dates the period of 1970-80s years. They stay not much, so every piece found is really unique one.
