This exquisite vintage mini oval Augis pendant is a rare and sentimental love token, crafted in 18ct gold with meticulous attention to detail. Weighing 1.04g and measuring 23mm in length (including the bail) and 11mm in width, this petite piece embodies the timeless romance of the iconic "Qu'hier Que Demain" design.
The pendant features Augis' signature symbolic elements—a polished white gold cross representing the "minus" (-) and a synthetic ruby bar signifying the "plus" (+). This poetic phrase, meaning "more than yesterday, less than tomorrow," is taken from Rosemonde Gérard’s 19th-century poem and represents love that grows stronger with each passing day.
Authenticating its French origin, the bail is hallmarked with the French eagle’s head for 18ct gold purity and the Augis maker’s mark. The bail measures 6mm x 3mm at its widest point and has a slight bend in its profile view, a characteristic that adds to the pendant’s vintage charm.
A timeless and meaningful piece, this Augis pendant is perfect for collectors and romantics alike, carrying with it over a century of history and devotion.
