Antique French 18K Gold Devotional Virgin Mary Medal Pendant, Religious Protection Charm
A luminous French 18k gold devotional medal in the Miraculous Medal tradition, crafted in the late 19th to early 20th century—an era when French ateliers excelled at sculptural religious goldwork.

On the reverse, a personal engraving—“Bertrand / 7 Février / 1914”—roots the piece in a specific moment of early‑20th‑century French life, giving it the emotional resonance collectors cherish.
