French baptism medal in 18K yellow gold in an oval shape depicting the Virgin. The back is engraved with “Jacques” dated 5 June 1944. This elegant oval medal features a classic depiction of the Virgin Mary in profile, her gaze thoughtful and serene. There's a captivating purity in the simplicity of her design, allowing her gentle presence to convey deep meaning without elaborate flourish.
The date precise inscription places the medal's origin in a historically significant moment, likely a baptism taking place just one day before D-Day, adding an extraordinary layer of human story and resilience to its spiritual significance.
D-day is the day on which the Allied forces launched the Normandy landings during World War II. It was the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving over 156,000 American, British, and Canadian troops landing on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified French coastline.
