Saint George

Saint George is a christening medal in 18-karat yellow gold depicting the knightly saint slaying the dragon with his lance, on horseback.

A knight who slays the dragon

George, in armour and flowing cape, gallops and drives his lance into the dragon writhing on the ground. The name SAINT GEORGES is engraved in an arc at the top of the medal. It is the legend of the knight who freed a princess by killing the dragon that terrorised her city, which over the centuries became an image of the victory of good over evil. Saint George is the patron of knights, soldiers and several countries and cities of Europe; a christening medal full of spirit, natural for anyone who bears the name George.

A christening medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold

Like all our gold medals, Saint George is made by stamping: the 750/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, which gives the horse and the armour their relief, then satin-finished. The gold weight is 2.30 g in 16 mm and 2.90 g in 18 mm. Exclusive Manufacture Mayaud model, registered with the INPI, made in France.

Diameter, engraving and variations

The 16 mm is the christening size; the 18 mm, the classic size. The smooth reverse takes an engraving, first name and date, carried out in the workshop with the engraving package. Saint George is available in gold and mother-of-pearl, in solid silver, in silver and mother-of-pearl, in vermeil and in gold plate, to be worn on an 18-karat yellow gold trace chain.
