A medallion is a jewel of circular or oval shape, which is worn on a necklace, a chain, a bracelet or as a long necklace and in which one encloses a portrait, a lock of hair or any other souvenir.
The medallion is the romantic antique jewelry par excellence. Very fashionable in the 19th century, medallions were more or less worked or decorated and often bore engravings of dates corresponding to an engagement, a wedding, the arrival of a child or any event marking a life.
As an eternal souvenir, they were kept near the heart at the end of a chain.
