A baptism medal carries strong emotional symbolism, and is one of the first pieces of jewellery in a child’s life. Arthus Bertrand’s medallions in 18-carat gold or mother-of-pearl commemorate special events such as births, celebrations, or birthdays, and go on to accompany a child for life.
A godmother traditionally gives a child a medallion for a christening, be it religious or secular. It symbolises the beginning of a unique story and adventure: that of life. The medallion is frequently worn on a gold chain, which is customarily given by the godfather. A custom engraved baptism medal is a personal piece of jewellery that is passed down from one generation to the next.
At Arthus Bertrand, we have been creating medallions for more than a century. Each one is shaped and stamped at our workshop in Saumur, France. Maison Arthus Bertrand helps you choose and customise the medallion, and offers a first machine engraving free of charge. For any questions about selecting or customising your baptism medal, our customer service is standing by from Monday to Saturday on +33(0) 169 935 202.
