About the Item
An extraordinary example of Art Nouveau artistry and symbolism, this rare pendant (circa 1900) is a masterwork of both craft and sentiment. Sculpted as a double-sided reuleaux triangle, the Portugese jewel features exquisitely detailed reverse-carved rock crystal, depicting cherubs exchanging hearts on one side and a cherub holding a flaming heart on the other side.
Framing the crystal is luminous green plique-à-jour enamel, its translucent cells evoking stained glass windows—a hallmark of the finest Art Nouveau craftsmanship. The piece is mounted in solid 19.2 ct gold, professionally verified through X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and traditional jeweler’s acid testing to confirm purity and authenticity.
Adding poetic depth, two French inscriptions grace the pendant:
"L’un pour l’autre" – One for the other
"Brûler et se taire" – Burn and be silent
These mottos express a restrained but profound devotion, underscoring the romantic mystique of the era.
The pendant measures approximately 1.6 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 1.25 inches wide, with a substantial weight of 22.2 grams. It remains in excellent antique condition, the enamel beautifully intact and the carving crisp and luminous from both sides.
A rare find for collectors of Art Nouveau, French symbolism, or reverse intaglio crystal, this pendant is not only a jewel but a deeply personal work of art—poised to become a treasured heirloom.

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.
