{"product_id":"medaille-vierge-a-l-enfant-mm-v9","title":"Virgin and Child Medal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis christening medal in 18-karat yellow gold depicts the Virgin and Child beneath two large radiant halos, which give the scene its light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA radiant Virgin and Child\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the halos that strike you first: two suns engraved in fine rays, one behind Mary, the other behind the Child, meeting at the centre of the medal. Mary wears a veil over her hair and a garment whose drapery falls to the edge; she lowers her gaze towards her son, whom she holds against her. The Child, nestled in her arms, raises his head towards her and reaches out his hand to the Virgin. Both faces are highly expressive, to the point that one reads on Mary's something like a restrained smile. Our sculptor played on the contrast between the engraved radiance of the halos and the soft modelling of the faces: this is what makes this christening medal so luminous on a chain or at the wrist, even in 16 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA christening medal struck in the traditional way in 18-karat gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all our gold medals, this Virgin and Child is produced by stamping: the 750\/1000 gold blank is struck under an engraved die, for a crisp and lasting relief, then satin-finished. The gold weight is 2.30 g in 16 mm and 2.90 g in 18 mm.
