Virgin Mary Plique-à-Jour Vintage Gold Plated V. Large Pendant w Chain by Augis

A Rare French Religious Medal with Exceptional Artistry

This extraordinary Virgin Mary Plique-à-Jour pendant by Augis is a remarkable example of early 20th-century French devotional jewelry, combining fine craftsmanship, religious symbolism, and rare enameling techniques in one highly collectible piece.

Crafted in France and attributed to the renowned house of A. Augis, this very large vintage pendant features a beautifully sculpted profile of the Virgin Mary in high relief, likely inspired by the celebrated engravings of Penin. The medal showcases stunning deep blue plique-à-jour enamel, a rare translucent enameling technique that allows light to pass through the design, creating a luminous stained-glass effect.

Dating to the 1920s–1930s, the pendant is preserved in exceptional condition and comes complete with its original vintage rolled gold chain.
