The Story: The first love medal of the famous Augis medallist, also known as the “Augis Love Medal,” was created in 1907. This iconic piece is inspired by a famous line by the poet Rosemonde Gérard: “Because, you see, every day I love you more, today more than yesterday and much less than tomorrow”. The medal often features a “+” and a “-” to symbolize “more than yesterday, less than tomorrow” and has become a timeless symbol of enduring love, appreciated in France and around the world. Available in many designs, the ruby heart-patterned medallion is one of the rarest and most sought-after designs for collectors and romantic aesthetes.
