Each Augis medal embodies the spirit of Lyon and French poetry.

The Augis Love Medal embodies the quintessential romantic jewel. This medal is engraved with the famous lines by Edmond Rostand: "More than yesterday, less than tomorrow." The Augis Love Medal is available in yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold. Some versions feature a diamond and ruby ​​setting, creating an exceptional diamond and ruby ​​Love Medal. The ruby ​​symbolizes passion, while the diamond represents eternity. The price of a Love Medal varies depending on the precious metal and the number of stones used.

Augis Baptismal Medals: Virgin and Angel

Augis baptismal medals embody the French tradition of religious medals.

The Augis jewelry house offers other religious medals: a Christ medal depicting the face of Christ or the Cross, and a Saint Christopher medal protecting travelers.
