Augis - Gold And Ruby Love Medal

Love medal in 18-carat yellow gold, "+" symbol in white gold and "-" symbol set with 2 square synthetic rubies.
On the front is inscribed "+ than yesterday and - than tomorrow".
This expression, well known to romantic lovers, is one of the lines in the poem by Rosemonde Gérard to her husband Edmond Rostand.
It was made famous by Alphonse Augis, a jeweler from Lyon who, in 1907, had the idea of creating a medal on which this line was engraved.
This phrase has since become a very strong symbol.
Blank back of the medal (engraving possible at an additional cost).
Very good condition.
20th century French work hallmarked eagle's head.
