This meticulously crafted pendant was created in the early 20th century and is a meaningful symbol of devotion and courage. On the front, we see a beautifully carved relief of Joan of Arc inside the shape of a shield. Born in 1412 in Domrémy, France, Joan claimed to have visions and divine guidance from saints, urging her to support Charles VII and help him reclaim his throne. Fearless and determined, she led the French army to several significant victories, making her a pivotal figure in the war. Despite her triumphs, she was eventually captured, tried for heresy, and tragically executed in 1431 at the tender age of 19. Her unwavering faith, strength, and bravery have immortalized her as a true icon in history.
On the back, the date 3 -6 - 1920 is etched, indicated that this was likely a gift for a baptism or communion. It has since been carefully passed down for generations in excellent condition for the next guardian of this beautiful piece.
Hallmarked with a horse head, a rare French stamp in use from 1828-1919, the medal is crated from high quality 18k gold. The figure of Joan of Arc serves as a guardian and a role model, offering protection and inspiration to the wearer. It embodies the virtues of faith, courage, and devotion, making it a perfect keepsake to commemorate significant religious milestones.
