A man in a cloak and a veiled woman stand together at a low altar, her hand resting on his arm, their heads inclined toward one another, the drapery cut in long classical folds against a finely grained ground. The reverse is a plain field ringed by a deep wreath of roses, with a small interlaced monogram at its centre and room left for engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo words are set in the field on either side of the couple: \u003cem\u003eFIDELITE\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBONHEUR\u003c\/em\u003e, fidelity and happiness. Between them they say what the medal is for, and in what order the nineteenth-century engravers believed the two arrived. Medals like this were given at a wedding or a significant anniversary and kept for a lifetime, then handed down to the next couple in the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe French marriage medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943531425977,"sku":"3c3-1583M-B","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1583M-B.png?v=1787688744","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-french-marriage-medal-fidelity-and-happiness","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
