République Française Medal Bracelet - Antique Bracelet with French Medal
 
This striking bracelet features a large hammered antique pewter toggle clasp, with a ring measuring 25.5 mm x 18.8 mm and a bar measuring 33.7 mm. The substantial toggle clasp was hand-shaped using the traditional lost wax carving method, creating a beautifully organic texture that gives the piece a sense of authentic craftsmanship.
 
Each component undergoes a careful multi-step finishing process that builds a rich, even pewter tone with smooth texture and subtle contrast. The matte antique pewter finish lends the bracelet a refined and sophisticated character while remaining durable enough for everyday wear.
 
The bracelet measures 7.75 inches, intentionally designed with a gentle drape for a relaxed, elegant fit on the wrist.
 
The chain is composed of antique pewter oval links measuring 11 x 7 mm, accented by a smaller 6 mm circular link, creating a balanced and slightly architectural silhouette.
At the center of the bracelet, attached to the round section of the toggle, is a 36 x 26 mm antique pewter French medal replica depicting Marianne, the enduring symbol of the French Republic.
 
Marianne has represented the ideals of liberty, equality, and reason since the French Revolution. Much like the American Statue of Liberty, she is portrayed as a personification of freedom and the spirit of democracy. The medal bears the inscription “République Française.”
 
This medium-sized medal makes a beautiful focal point, adding historical charm and timeless character to the bracelet.
