About Maison Augis & the Iconic “Médailles d’Amour”

Founded in Lyon in 1907 by Alphonse Augis, the Maison Augis became famous for its poetic jewelry inspired by the French writer Rosemonde Gérard and her legendary poem “L’Amour est plus fort que tout.” From this verse was born the celebrated “médaille d’amour,” a medal symbolizing everlasting affection and fidelity. These medallions often featured inscriptions such as “+ qu’hier – que demain,” meaning “more than yesterday, less than tomorrow,” a promise of love that grows every day.
Augis’ craftsmanship is renowned for its precision, symbolism, and the emotional depth embedded in each piece. This pendant — signed and richly adorned — carries that same heritage, making it not just a jewel but a meaningful piece of French romantic history.
