Hand-engraved discs on substantial chains — the modern heirloom, made to be passed down.
About medallion necklaces
The medallion necklace is the modern heirloom: a substantial disc of solid gold, hand-engraved and hung on a chain built to be worn daily and passed down eventually. Where a pendant whispers, a medallion states.
Aurelle medallion necklaces are made to order in 2–3 weeks in 14k and 18k gold, with hand engraving — initials, zodiacs, sunbursts, dates — done in-house. Every piece is solid gold, never hollow or plated, and covered by the lifetime warranty.
Choose by disc size and chain length: smaller discs on 16–18 inch chains layer well; larger medallions on 20–24 inches carry an outfit alone.
Medallion Necklaces FAQ
What is a medallion necklace?+
It's a necklace centered on a disc or coin-shaped pendant, typically engraved with a motif, monogram, or scene. The style traces back to ancient coin jewelry and reads equally well on women and men today.
What chain length is best for a medallion necklace?+
Sixteen to eighteen inches sits at or just below the collarbone and suits smaller discs and layering; twenty to twenty-four inches lets a larger medallion hang as a statement. If you plan to layer, vary lengths by at least two inches.
Can a medallion be personalized?+
Yes — engraving is the heart of the style. We hand-letter initials, dates, and monograms on the front or back of any medallion, and the atelier can execute fully bespoke motifs.
Are medallion necklaces solid gold?+
Ours are solid 14k or 18k gold throughout — disc and chain — never hollow, gold-filled, or plated. Solid construction is what lets a medallion survive daily wear and become a genuine heirloom.
How much does a gold medallion necklace cost?+
Price tracks the gold weight, so disc size and chain gauge drive it. Solid gold medallions generally start in the upper hundreds and rise into the low four figures for larger, heavier pieces.
How do I care for a gold medallion?+
Gold doesn't tarnish, so care is minimal: warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth now and then. Engraving actually improves with a little wear, developing the soft patina that makes heirloom pieces feel lived-in.
