Introduction
General presentation of the Augis Love Medal
« More than yesterday and less than tomorrow » : These are the words embodied by the Love Medal from Maison Augis, taken from a poem written in 1889 by Rosemonde Rostand as a declaration of love to her husband Edmond Rostand: "For you see, every day I love you more, today more than yesterday and much less than tomorrow".
With this range of jewellery, Augis presents an emblematic motif on a series of medals and bracelets in a variety of shapes, colours and noble materials. L'Essentielle, L'Originale, La Passionnée, L'Unique... These pendants feature a "+" symbol and a "-" symbol interspersed with the words of the quote above "yesterday" (« hier ») and "tomorrow" (« demain »).

The Augis brand
History and reputation of Augis in the world of jewellery
Maison Augis has a rich and prestigious history in the world of French jewellery. Founded in 1830 by Alphonse Augis in Lyon, the Maison began its career as a medal engraving workshop.
Over the generations, the Augis family has perpetuated the know-how and art of the medal. The Maison Augis has distinguished itself by creating medals imbued with poetry and delicacy, notably the famous "Médaille d'Amour", which has become an icon of the brand. Religious and secular baptismal medals also occupy a special place in the brand's universe. Filled with symbolism and meaning, they are often a precious gift given at emblematic moments in life. Decorated with delicate motifs such as angels, saints or other sacred images like the Virgin Mary or the Infant Jesus, these medals bear witness to the spirituality and faith that accompany a person's life. Creating pieces that combine aesthetics and symbolism, from patron saints to sacred images, each religious medal is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, making each piece a tangible expression of faith.
Over the decades, the brand has evolved while preserving its family heritage. It has broadened its range of creations to include delicate jewellery, some of which is adorned with precious stones, while retaining the same attention to detail and quality.
The brand's commitment to quality and originality
Maison Augis' commitment to quality and originality is the fundamental pillar of its reputation in the world of jewellery. Since 1922, the brand has consistently strived to maintain unrivalled standards of excellence, ensuring that every creation, including the Médaille d'Amour, embodies an exceptional level of craftsmanship.
The quest for originality is deeply rooted in Augis' DNA, manifesting itself through unique and innovative designs. Each piece of jewellery is creatively crafted, even the most classic designs such as religious medals, capturing not only a timeless aesthetic, but also an authenticity that distinguishes each piece as unique.
Maintenance tips
To preserve the longevity and unrivalled splendour of your Augis Medal of Love, the Maison recommends that you take great care of it. Avoid all contact with detergents, abrasive products or chemicals found in perfumes, creams, hydro-alcoholic gels or cleaning products, especially for models with resin. These substances can alter the shine and quality of your medal. Handle your jewellery with care during your daily activities, and be sure to take it off when playing sports or swimming in the beach or pool. This extra precaution protects your medal from the potential risks associated with these situations. What's more, to avoid the stones and metal rubbing against each other, take care to store your jewellery carefully. By protecting your creations from any unwanted contact, you maintain the aesthetic integrity of your Medaille d'Amour. Finally, if you have any doubts about the condition of your Augis jewellery, we strongly recommend that you have it checked by one of our qualified craftsmen. Their expertise will ensure that your medal retains its original lustre and continues to be the timeless symbol of your affection.
