In 1907, Lyon jeweler Alphonse AUGIS, inspired by a poem by Rosemonde Gérard (1866-1953) dedicated to her husband, writer Edmond Rostand (1868-1918), author of "Cyrano de Bergerac" in 1897, created La Medal d'Amour. He had the idea of transcribing the two verses: "Car vois-tu chaque jour je t'aime davantage Aujourd'hui + qu'hier et bien - que demain". LA Medal d'Amour is a constant reminder of the fervor of eternal sentiments.
