A rare and highly sought-after French love pendant by the celebrated jeweller A. Augis, crafted in 18ct yellow gold and dating from the 1960s. Inspired by the famous verse by Rosemonde Gérard, the iconic inscription “Plus qu’hier, moins que demain” (“More than yesterday, less than tomorrow”) has become one of the most enduring symbols of everlasting love in French jewellery.
This beautifully detailed example features the abbreviated phrase rendered in relief, highlighted by a sparkling eight-cut diamond forming the “+” symbol and calibrated synthetic red stones accenting the design. The central medallion is surrounded by a vibrant halo of matching synthetic red stones, creating a rich contrast against the warm yellow gold setting.
Signed A. Augis and displaying the fine craftsmanship associated with the Lyonnais maison, the pendant measures approximately 33 mm in diameter and weighs 9.60 grams gross. Dating from the 1960s, it remains a timeless declaration of affection and an increasingly collectible piece of French jewellery history.
In very good vintage condition consistent with age and wear.
