Mother-of-pearl and 18-karat gold
The 18-karat yellow gold rim (750/1000), bail included, closes the medal and warms the white of the mother-of-pearl; it weighs around 1.30 g in 18 mm and 1.60 g in 24 mm. The extra-white, jewellery-grade mother-of-pearl is carved in our workshop; the subject takes on the softness of a cameo. For a more ornate outline, see our Signature rims.
Diameters and engraving
From 18 to 24 mm depending on the design: 18 or 20 mm for a christening, 22 and 24 mm for everyday wear or as a pendant. The smooth mother-of-pearl reverse takes an engraving, first name and date. The same subjects exist in silver and mother-of-pearl.
