Vintage 18ct White & Yellow Gold French Augis Heart Charm
A French Augis love charm, beautifully composed with a double off-centre heart design and set with two vivid synthetic rubies in rich 18ct yellow gold. The asymmetrical heart motif is a signature of Augis, giving the piece a romantic yet graphic quality that feels both timeless and distinctly French.
Augis charms originated from the Lyon jeweller Alphonse Augis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and became celebrated for their poetic symbolism and refined craftsmanship. Many Augis pieces were inspired by romantic literature and verse, most famously the line by Rosemonde Gérard expressing love that grows stronger over time. These charms were designed as intimate tokens of affection, often given to mark love, commitment, or personal milestones, and are now highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
Elegant, meaningful, and instantly recognisable, this charm is a classic example of French sentimental jewellery.
