Vintage French 18k Gold Augis "More Today Than Yesterday, Less Than Tomorrow" Pendant

“Each day I love you more- today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” This beautiful passage, written by Rosemonde Gerard, is an excerpt from a poem she wrote for her husband in 1889. But the poem wouldn’t be popularized as a sentiment of love until the French Jeweler Alphonse Augis conceptualized the quote into the "Medaille d'amour" in 1907. This sweet piece, hallmarked for Augis, is a rendition in classic 18k gold, just perfect for layering or wearing as a striking little momento of love.
